Re: Nanosampler . . . need something more powerful?

Thanks for the replies. I looked into Kontakt (after seeing the Cinebrass orchestral samples- AMAZING!) but it looks like only Kontakt 5 is out there right now which means I would have to upgrade my OS (10.5.8) and then nearly ALL my apps including DP- Yikes! Maybe I can run Mach 5, haven't looked i...

Nanosampler . . . need something more powerful?

Need your help, I'm a middle school band director and for a while now I've wanted to use my DP rig to launch samples of instruments in class as a teaching aid. I've dabbled with it, but have not come up with something effective enough to try in front of fifty 12-year-olds. I have a Macbook Pro, DP6,...

Re: Problem with MIDI Controller/DP

Wow! Thanks James- you da man! :wink: Don't think I would have figured that out on my own no matter how long I tried. There was one wrinkle- when I un-check multi-record, the input dropdown is disabled. But must automatically route the controller in because it is triggering the VI. Thanks a bunch- l...

Problem with MIDI Controller/DP - RESOLVED

Hoping someone can help me. While I've been doing DP audio for years, I'm just starting to dabble with the MIDI side. I got a little Akai LPK 25 MIDI controller to trigger DPs virtual instruments. I've followed all the steps in the DP 6 manual for VI tracks, but I still can't get it to work. I did t...

MacBook Pro?

Hey folks, My DP DAW has been based around a G4 Dual 1 Gig for the last 7 years. I am considering going portable, upgrading to a MacBook Pro (last years model is on blowout at Macmall- 2.2 Ghz 2 Core Duo) and DP 6. Do you know what kind of performance I can expect from this new platform in compariso...

Hey folks, I've just started getting an annoying error after DP loads all the plug-ins: "Mac OS Error (MotuAudioSystem Mas Core Audio error, DevSet: Start Audio Call backs 649 [-536870181:1])" Does anyone know what this is? I rebooted the other day and it loaded ok, but today it did this a...

I haven't heard the Nuke setting on a distressor, but you might try "all-buttons mode" on an 1176 plug-in. It gets some nasty smashin' going on!

First off, I'm in 4.61 on 10.3.9. running UAD 4.5 (just got it . . . man these sound great. But I was disappointed that the ADC stuff wasn't all sorted out by now) Problem: Phase...

iTunes no longer playing out of 828

I monitor all computer audio through my MOTU 828. I go out SPDIF digitally into DA convertor. This works great. But recently, all host applications (iTunes, the "Get Info" player feature) dont make any sound while playing. I checked the MOTU Firewire Audio driver pane and the outputs are s...

But I've observed the UAD-1 users in this forum complaining quite often when change is in the air. DP will get updated by MOTU, and suddenly something is broken between DP and the UAD-1. It takes time for someone to admit responsibility and to fix the problem. Shooshie Thanks for the concern. This ...

Firewire Throughput

I need a remote recording medium . . . I was considering getting a Masterlink, but then I'm obviously limited to 2 tracks. Now that the iMac G5s are down to $1200 or so, I am considering getting one of these as a remote "recorder" to use with my 828 mkII. The problem is it only has one int...
