that's an interesting idea -- I am hoping that Mike's cache-clearing will help but I can maybe try that next.

Re: Launching Mixing Board crashes DP

Clear your Users cache. /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/com.motu.MotuAudioSystem/ Find any cache files in that folder and delete them. Relaunch DP. All installed plug-ins will be rescanned and only the cache files you need will be rebuilt. This will take awhile but it will happen only once. W...

yes, sorry to mis-type.

Nevertheless, I am having unprecedented instability. I'm going to start taking bits out of the signal path one at a time and see if things improve.

Kind regards,

Re: Launching Mixing Board crashes DP

Hi HC those are all good ideas. I tried opening the DP session with everything else off, after a cold boot. No VE Pro, email -- nothing else running at all. Tried safe mode (disables 3d party plugins). I don't even generate a crash log now, which makes tracking this down even harder. Interface is co...

Launching Mixing Board crashes DP

Hi all, I had to relocate my studio recently in a hurry and am unfortunately working with a different configuration. Everything is going through AVB to my MOTU interfaces (112D and 1248 -- firmware is latest). I'm getting crashes, especially when launching the Mixing Board [shift_M] I've been using ...

Re: consolidating onto new Mac Pro from old Mac Pro plus 3 Windows PCs -- your opinion on VE Pro settings

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I think it's not wrong to say that nobody is 100% certain what the best approach is. However, sifting through these posts and some others, and speaking with some buddies, a few guidelines seemed to emerge: 1. Many instances ok with few audio outs / instance -- I...

Quickscribe Tip: eliminate extra bars in Quickscribe at end of sequence

Hi all, Chief issue: Quickscribe displays extra bars beyond the end of the piece; sometimes hundreds of them! Solution: 1. Open any track using Quickscribe; 2. Under mini-menu (upper right), select Options; 3. Using pull-down menu, select last item, "Set Score Length" and choose "Fixe...

Re: I'm looking for paid consultant to help me w/ DP & EastWest

Hi Alicia, Nice to meet you. I wonder if the issue could be Sonoma, at least in part? I am waiting to move from Ventura, as a good bit of the software I use is not fully checked out for Sonoma. I"ve been using East West and DP for a long, long time. I wonder if you could describe what issue you...

Re: assigning movie (shift V) crashes DP v11.23

Couldn't readily convert from QT but I tried it with an MP4 file and it's fine, notwithstanding the fact that the MP4 file is at 44.1 and I'm at 48k

Pretty surprised that it's not working with a .MOV file however. The .MOV file is at 48k.

Hmm.

assigning movie (shift V) crashes DP v11.23

Hello there, I've started a new project and am having crashes. Selecting a Movie file (.mov) instantly crashes DP. Not doing anything unusual, and these are movie files that in some cases I've used to sketch with previously. Specs DP version 11.23 94219 Mac OS 13.6.1 Ventura 16 core, lots and lots o...

Re: Big Sur + DP11.03 +VE Pro 7 have a problem?

Looks as though it's Kaspersky Internet Security -- it didn't cause problems in the past but turning it off fixed everything.

Hopefully I can figure out settings that will allow it to be on.

Thanks anyway,

John
