Re: DP Finding Plugins on Scan with Folders Empty & DP won't launch & crashing
Here's a tool you can get on the App Store that might help you get to the bottom of it: https://www.thinkersnacks.com/pluginfo/ James posted this app a while back (thanks James!), and I have found it indispensable. You can look at and select all your plugins, and by using command-shift-F, find out w...

Re: Seeking Advice: In Search Of That "Bedspins" Effect
Yeah, Vinyl is good, and free. My go-to for what you want to do. I have another that I have used, AudioThings Vinyl strip:
https://www.audiothing.net/effects/vinyl-strip/
It has a few cool features, including a "wow" control.

Re: DP12 release date?
What day of the week does MOTU usually release new DP versions? Is there a usual day, or is it just random, M-F?
All these years, I never thought to notice..

Re: Looks like it’s time to move away from DP - wondering if others are doing the same
The whole situation just seems really daunting to me. I can't see many independent musicians able to invest in the proper setup with a decent room and multiple speakers, not to mention the added investment perhaps in updated interfaces to provide more analog i/o, etc. in order to produce "prop...

Re: Looks like it’s time to move away from DP - wondering if others are doing the same
In Apple Music, tracks say Dolby Atmos with the Dolby logo clearly visible. This is different from other Atmos mixes? You're right, I forgot it does say that. As far as I can tell, the only difference is in the binaural (earphone/headphone) experience. Apple replaces the binaural metadata the mix e...

Re: Looks like it’s time to move away from DP - wondering if others are doing the same
Here's a question for those working in Atmos... What happens if one renders a Stereo Mix in Atmos format? Is this possible? It's possible to do with plugins/software, but Apple at least, will likely reject it, and they often do. They want real 12 channel+ music. They will also reject it if: Your pe...

Re: Looks like it’s time to move away from DP - wondering if others are doing the same
Going back to BKK's original post- as I've already said, I switched to Pro Tools for Atmos work because DP didn't support it. Pro Tools is the only DAW other than DP out there, I don't hate. Plus, I already use Pro Tools for Mastering, as DP cannot create hardware inserts with my interface (every ot...

Re: Looks like it’s time to move away from DP - wondering if others are doing the same
They could even be betting on the platform not surviving, like the surround of old... I hope it doesn't. Or perhaps remains relevant only to mixing for theatrical release. That's just my curmudgeon opinion. :lol: This may surprise you, but I agree. I wish I didn't have to mix stuff in Atmos. Fans o...

Re: Looks like it’s time to move away from DP - wondering if others are doing the same
But DP has been lagging behind other DAWs with surround/binaural/Atmos capability for awhile now, and I just don’t see any point in hanging on any longer, waiting for MOTU to catch up. It has been so long since an update, I would not be surprised if MOTU announced their abandonment of the platform....

We should keep this thread going until it actually is released, just to keep ourselves confused and amused..

Re: Can I set DP11 to use all the cores in my Mac Studio?
I am using an M2 Max Mac Studio with 12 core CPU, 512GB storage and 32GB RAM. My projects are all 24 bit, 44.1k. When arming a track with my synth plugin as an insert to an instrument track, the DSP% hits overload. But does it affect your sound? Are you getting pops, dropouts, etc? If not, and if y...

Re: How to migrate from AU to VST with settings
I have been working on this as well. As far as I know, there is no way to do what you want with the settings, other than to save them as presets, load the VST 3 version, and then load the preset. The plugin types don't appear to be interchangeable. When my SSL UC1 controller finally worked with DP, ...
