I had been using VEP with DP for years with no problem. Now, Im using DP 11, VEP 7 with a Mac Master and two Mac Support computers. The same computers as before. The Support computers had and still have Monterey. The Master has Sequoia. The Sequoia is new. I have the same switch and router. Then I m...

Hello, I create cinema projects including music and animation. Film music is a primary focus. Regular scriptwriting software doesn’t cut it for me because I want to be able to hear how the film music fits with a scene and see the animation. That’s why storyboarding software is preferable for me. My ...

I've been using a room in my basement for as long as I can remember as my home studio. It's sufficient, but also limited. Plus, I don't like disturbing my wife with the sounds composers and musicians can make. I have an opportunity to possibly build a studio building in my backyard - roughly the sam...

Great video clip. Thanks!

Thanks for your help!

Hello This included YouTube link is of a music video by the Manhattan Transfer - Cantaloop (Flip Out). It includes some extraordinary scat singing. But not only is the singing extraordinary, but also the way in which the singing is processed. The vocals are being electronically processed for a certa...

Hello, I just hooked up a Novation Impulse 61 MIDI keyboard to DP. Everything works fine. However, the Novation Impulse 61 MIDI keyboard makes available a HUI functional firmware interface whereby mouse-based mixing that would otherwise be done in DP can be accomplished with sliders on the Impulse 6...

I know this is a MOTU site. But, I'm using the latest version of Vienna Ensemble Pro(VEP) 7 within MOTU DP 11.02. I have three machines. The master is a new Intel iMac with Big Sur. My two support machines are Macs with Catalina. I've been using VEP with MOTU for years with countless plug-ins with n...

I've been using DP for years with many versions and have rarely had a crash. Now, I'm using DP 10 with a QT Movie and I've run into several crashes. Some were just DP and some were DP and the computer. I'm using Catalina 10.15.7, 72 GB of ram, 3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7. Are there any issues with ...

When I began working with my DAW, DP was first introduced to me. I wasn't even aware of the other available DAWS. I learned DP and have been overall very satisfied with DP. For some time now, It seems that when I hear other composers and musicians talk about which DAW they use, Logic seems to come u...

I called Apple. They informed me that the new iMac would have Big Sur installed. Which is fine for the 3D side of things. I asked about the other boot side to support the music software. I mentioned that my current machines all have Mojave. Apple said it would be no problem to put Mojave on the othe...

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank the above person for suggesting dual-boot as a solution to my 3D Rendering/Music production dilemma. When my new iMac arrives it will be pre-loaded with Big Sur which I will use in my 3D rendering. I will also create a partition in the iMac and load Catalina...

If I'm reading you correctly, you've been wrestling with some of the issues I've been wrestling with lately. After hearing about M1 and wanting a M1 iMac, I initially thought I would wait until the M1 iMac came out - rather than getting the 2020 27" iMac. But then, the more I thought about when...

I just came across Sweetwater's Big Sur: Compatibility Guide - https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/macos-11-big-sur-compatibility-guide/#macOS-11-Big-Sur-Compatibility-List It is not very encouraging. It seems like so many of the music apps are not compatible with Big Sur. It poses a parti...

My studio involves working with MOTU/DP, Vienna Ensemble Pro (VEP), a slew of commonly used Virtual instruments (VIs) and 3D production and rendering. In both situations I have one master computer networked with two clients. So, the master is the same for both configurations. For much of the last ye...
