Re: Is DP 7.2 using all 8 cores on your Mac Pro?

In my tests between a quad core and 8 core using the same session I discovered that dp is not as efficient with 8 core machines as I would have liked .... It still runs a little better on the 8 core but it's more a case of if I load up a session that maxes the quad (woodcrest 3ghz) to the point of i...

Re: CPU usage clipping at 36% ????

just to add an interesting discovery.... if i pin DP with this session to just on the border of being overloaded (which with buffer of 256 etc is showing 48% usage in activity monitor) i can't get anything more out of DP but then i open imovie and encode a 10 minute DV footage clip and DP still work...

Re: CPU usage clipping at 36% ????

Hey guys, thanks for all the thoughts ! It still really is a matter of why DP can't handle running at this setting when it is hardly using the CPU.. running on this setting means a lot of real time work can be done monitoring live and streaming between my HD rig VERY USEFUL !!! ... long complicated ...

Re: CPU usage clipping at 36% ????

Thanks guys appreciate the reply ... Ok so get the picture that 64 is a bit hopeful but It seems quite useful to me as a reasonably large session runs well it's just that dp's CPU is going red and starting to clip when activity monitor says we're only using 36% of available power so I'm wondering wh...

MIDI control of tempo with Slider

Hi, i've figured out that i can get my mod wheel to remote control tempo of DP but it is not very accurate (not a very fine way of adjusting tempo... bit jumpy and the mod wheels full travel controls from 20bpm to 400bpm ! ) can anyone let me know if there's a way to make it more fluid and / or to l...

Re: DP 7 w/ DAE - tempo sync? (w/Stylus, etc)

umm ok so it seems some of you have VI's working in DAE... can anyone shed any light on why perhaps i can load a DP7 session, even load say "Boom" and press play on the plugin and get sound, but if i dare press play on digital performers transport the computer just stops, thinks for a bit ...

Re: DP7, DAE, Leopard, PPC

I've been trying a few setups to get it working and find that the PT instruments cause it to crash as soon as i press play... i find if i dont have any of the tools instruments loaded it works fine but has quite a few other hiccups here and there .. it is possible to get it going though and i think ...

i think Digi will resupport it with Mach five V2 alongside cryogenic rehydration... perhaps they will get Walt Disney to introduce it to us !
