Apparently, given the absence of posts on this thread, there is no simple way. So, here is the "solution" I found for myself. Fortunately, the hard drives in my old MacPro are still working. I got hold of an old MacBook Pro and connected the drives externally via firewire. Boot the MacBook...

My 2007 Mac Pro recently died and I decided to replace it with a PC. I somewhat regret this decision now and wish I had paid the extra grand for a new Mac. But that's another story. What I really wanted to ask is how to get all my DP projects created on the Mac to work properly on the new PC. All th...

I realize that people have different ways of working and DP obviously works great for some. I haven't been using it long, so maybe I will eventually get used to it. My habits have obviously been formed by the sequencers I used previously (Sonar, Samplitude, etc) which always show the grid whether sn...

Scotch on the command key? I was hoping for a more "high-tech" solution! If there is really no other way to do it, I have to say that MOTU have just got it completely wrong. Having notes locked into the grid is mechanical and unmusical. Trying to edit MIDI without a grid for reference is ...

On the whole I am very impressed with the DP graphic editor. However, there is one problem: when you switch off grid snapping, the grid disappears entirely (except for barlines). For me, this is quite infuriating. To my mind, the whole point of having a grid is to use as a reference while editing fr...

Thanks. A simple piece of information like that is invaluable to a new user like me!

A simple question with a simple answer, I hope: If I accidentally close (click on triangle in top left) a plug-in window, how can I get it back again? The plug continues to function even if the window isn't there and it isn't listed under the WINDOW menu. Problem is that now I cannot change any of t...

For the record, here is the response I have just received from M-audio: This is a known issue with Mac OS 10.4.10 and we are currently working on an updated driver to resolve this issue. Updated drivers will be available shortly from our www.m-audio.com website Regards Richard UK Tech Support M Audi...

OK, I've filed a report with M-audio tech-support. Let's see what they come up with. Just to recap in case anybody is still following this: I cannot get any audio signal from DP to the Audiophile outs, even though the level meters in DP indicate that audio is being sent, and the software return mete...

Maybe I am wrong, but I thought the inbuilt audio was only 2 channels (one stereo pair). At the minimum I want a 4 channel set up that enables me to use the analog out (master) and digital ports (send/return) independently. Am I right in assuming that the inbuilt digital ports on the Mac simply mirr...

Thanks for all your helpful input. I haven't had much chance to investigate the problem further since last posting, but one thing I have noticed is that I also lose audio after bouncing in DP. Clicking reset in the soundcard control panel clears the problem immediately. Basically I need a simple goo...

Thanks for your replies. Could anyone recommend an alternative audio interface? Preferably, I would like something in the same price/feature range as the Audiophile. Should I go for a MOTU instead? I have had good experience using Echo on Windows. What are they like on Mac? If it really is an interf...

Thanks for your reply. I had a look at the bundles window and discovered how to add outputs so that all the physical outs of Audiophile are available in DP. That in itself is a little progress. But it makes no difference to the main problem. However, I have discovered one way of overcoming the probl...

I am new to both Digital Performer and to Mac. Previously I have used PC audio software such as SONAR and Samplitude. If someone could sapre a little time to help me I would be most appreciative. For some reason, I am unable to get any consistent audio output at all from DP. I am using an M-audio fi...
