need to do sound at a big theater this weekend and want to put some extra speakers in the balcony of this theater..couldn't i use a MOTU UltraLite-mk3 in stand-alone mode for that..need about 80-100 ms of delay for an extra set of PA speakers..any ideas would be appreciated. the manual doesn't say a...

havent seen it happen in dp7 yet, but used to see it occasionally in dp5 just make sure u hit save before doing a "duplicate mix" and if it then happens again, u can either delete that messed up duplicate mix and re-duplicate ur keeper mix, or close the file without saving and relaunch dp ...

looking to buy the latest high-end iMac, which is a 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 model with 8 Gig of memory, but i currently have a 2007 Mac Pro / 2 x 2.66 Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 2 Gigs of memory..i know the the Ghz numbers look good, but would the latest iMac be really faster / snappier th...

in dp5, i could highlight multiple tracks of audio in the GE (whether by highlighting the time bar across the top, or dragging across the audio itself), and then merge soundbites, and it would generate new audio files on each track that started at the front of each channels' audio files, and ended a...

you rock dude thanks.

I know the zoom buttons are now down in the lower right hand corner of the GE window, but sure miss those big ones that were in the upper left. I have a 30" computer monitor so mouse ergonomics are a big deal to me.

Just went from dp5 to dp7 and apparently there's a whole panel of buttons not to the right of the timecode bar anymore, and apparently the edge of the window doesn't open out anymore either..actually missing mixer, markers, and audio/MIDI setup buttons now..and the zoom buttons in the GE window too....

any way to get steel drum sounds in a plugin format / v.i. for digital performer?

i would get the latest version of TOAST for your particular Mac ( http://www.roxio.com/ ) and that should do it..really stable platform for burning data DVD's, data CD's, music CD's. it's only about $99.00

"..back that thing up!"

what software and version are you using to burn these DVDROM's? what model computer and operating system version? does the same thing happen when you burn data to a CDROM with the same burner? how old is the burner?

you could try sending one of us one of the files via FTP or Mac iDisk or email or something, and see if one of us can open it..my solution for old versions of MOTU software is to just keep the installer discs AND the computer that it was used on intact. whenever i upgrade to newer versions of DP, i ...

there has to be some kind of protocol for getting the audio into the song..i create a new song, then drag the OMF file into the chunks window and then clik on this new chunk..at this point the audio files are not in the soundbites window yet, so i can understand why they are blanked out..dp doesn't ...

i've got someone trying to give me files as OMF made originally in sonar. i've got an OMF file, and then a folder with all the audio pieces in it. i tried dragging the OMF file into chunks window and then clicking on it there, but all my audio is blanked out..i don't know how to get the audio files ...

you should fully expect a save to take longer during playback..you should also expect a save to take a long time if you have tons of audio files in your soundbites window..i will occasionally go in there and "delete unused" files and that always will speed a "save" up a bit....vo...

if you're switching active monitors, then use a mackie BIG KNOB, if you're switching passive speakers (yamaha ns10'a / bose 301's / aurotones) i would look at a Niles HPS-4 from crutchfield, i own two of them..
