Re: Mac OS 12.7.6 Monterey, and the MOTU MIDI Express 128

Hi, Been hacking at this for about four hours combined - I cannot get the MIDI driver (latest from site) to install properly. (At least I think that's my problem). I'd been running fine for like 10 years on an older OS, and upgraded to 12.7.6 recently when I wanted to get some UAD plugs. My compute...

Re: Stem mixes from DP 11 to Antelope Orion Studio

I cannot seem to figure out how to send stem mixes from DP to my Antelope Orion Studio interface. I can see the interface in DP audio MIDI setup but can't direct the outputs to the Antelope from DP. Are they not directed there by the Thunderbolt connection? I see the 30 DP outputs plus the 32 busse...

Re: Bye, bye Finale

With the release this week of MuseScore-specific sound packs from Vienna Symphonic Library, I'm afraid the prophets (profits?) may have been correct when they stated that MS is the inevitable future, not Doritos. I am going through the process tonight, of cataloguing all my true scores (as opposed ...

Re: DP 11 and 828MKII

Is DP 11 compatible with a MOTU 828 MKII? I use a 2016 MacBook Pro which of course uses TB connectors and the 828 MKII is Firewire. I would be using an adapter. Thanks for your response. Yes. Many threads on this over the last decade. Installation of the drivers can be difficult—depends on the macO...

Re: DP Finding Plugins on Scan with Folders Empty & DP won't launch & crashing

Download and reinstall. See what happens.


If this happened within the last 24 hours, restore your system from a snapshot from earlier.

I’ve seen a number of causes over the years including importing a corrupt audio file.

Re: MIDI input split/instrument combinator

(my MIDI controller doesn't allow multiple zones, transmits only one channel, and I'm not really a fan of splitting zones from the MIDI keyboard)
I understand the concern but there are keyboard controllers that do this quite well from Native Instruments and others.

Re: Motu 112D, M64 or RME MADIface USB?

Good morning, I really need some help… I own a Power Mac running macOS 10.14 Mojave, with DP 11.22 as my DAW, and two PCIe-424 cards connected to eight HD192 interfaces, which are then routed into an analog mixer. Now, since this system can’t run on Ventura, I got a new computer, installed Ventura ...

Re: HELP!!! I'm going totally bonkers / Crossfades

I have an easy workaround, which is just to use two tracks and draw a fade-out into one and fade-in into the other, but it is weird?
I had to do this once a long time ago on a really long crossfade—don’t even recall what version of DP. Nothing else worked. I had forgotten about that till just now.

Re: Opening ancient DP project - any hope? - RESOLVED

And I'm back to beach-balling (with Activity Monitor telling me DP is using 100% of the CPU) That figure, by itself, is meaningless. A couple things: The macOS Activity Monitor is odd in that the number of Cores isn't factored properly. A 4 Core Mac maxes at 400% — 100 = 25% in this case; a 24 Core...

Re: New Download category: Audio Interfaces (Legacy)

The 828mk3 was introduced Winter NAMM 2007 IIRC. Really? I bought mine at a local music store. It was in a bargain bin of “discontinued” items. I don’t know exactly when, but I know for sure it was before the end of 2010. Yep. The non-Hybrid version wasn't out very long. My memory was off a year. A...
