Why does my CPU meter spike in DP even when the actual CPU usage in Activity Monitor is almost nothing? If I'm in Logic Pro then I can run a lot more plugins per channel. I hear that people with Reaper, Studio One, or Cubase can have 3-4 plugins per channel and record like 16 at a time or more with ...

Revisiting a nearly 2-year old thread--I'm on DP 11.3 and Ventura 13.6.3. I've got a Mac Studio Ultra M1 with 40 cores, 64GB RAM. The processor meter within Activity Monitor shows 20 meters. ( I assume those are the performance cores, the unseen 20 must be the efficiency cores? Not sure--need to ch...

Heck, with modern AI technology, a plugin like this is probably going to be a reality pretty darn soon.

Does anyone have a parts list for recapping an 828 mk II and 828 mk III? I picked up some of these recently that turn on but have various issues and looking inside, they definitely need recapping. I've recapped some other gear in the past, and these look straightforward, but I'd want to make sure I ...

Just as an update, I did reach out to MOTU tech support and they were able to repro the issue locally using my project file. They had the same pattern of two cores being used while hitting the Realtime clipping in Live Performance Mode, so it does not seem to be related to anything particular to my ...

As far as noisy cables is concerned. Really? Dude, fix them. Just do it. :banghead: We don't have any noisy cables. I think you do. Monitoring what the DAW is recording live while we're playing also helps to avoid the situation we've had happen several times where one of the finicky cables or direc...

You have spent a lot of money already on gear. A decent pair of closed back headphones would not break the bank and would solve some of your issues. You don't need expensive boutique cans. I use Sony 7506s for my vocalists all the time and I've never had an issue with feedback. They cost around a h...

I really hate to ask this to start, but why 96k? It's fine, there are no stupid questions here :D We have been recording at 44.1 khz for many years but our hardware supports up to 96 khz. We want to try this resolution out, as there are some potential benefits to doing so in terms of latency, phase...

Sorry I meant macOS Ventura 13.3.

I have a 2021 MacBook Pro with M1 Max and 64 GB RAM, a maxed-out system. Before macOS 13.3, I was able to record 17 channels of input at 44.1khz and a single stereo bus in real-time mode with 1 to 3 plugins per channel, and a 64-sample buffer and plugin latency compensation ON, and get no audio glit...

This is a great theme. Thanks!

Which 3rd-party plugins should I get for Apple Silicon/M1/M2? I got an M1 with DP11 and Logic Pro but I really don't care much for MOTU's or Apple's default plugins. Last time I bought plugins was years and years ago, and the main ones I loved were NomadFactory and T-Racks CS but I want to kind of s...

I'm seeing the issue on DP 11.1. Really freaking annoying!!!
