Re: VEP5 w/ Event Input = Lots of Stuck & Missing Notes

Namely, a high quality gigabit switch with a metal casing (better cooling than plastic) Interesting! Can you tell us what model gigabit switch you have? I have read that getting "Green" switches/routers are not good for VEP. Since they have power saving features that you don't necessarily...

DP Key Commands for Cubase 7?

Hello all! I'm about to start helping a friend edit audio and mix for a film soon and he uses Cubase 7. We attempted the whole OMF thing so I could take sessions and work in DP8 but it's not 100% reliable and created more headache then anything. So, I was over there the other day and I quickly notic...

Re: Reseat PCI 424 card fix!

Yea I called MOTU after I read about the 16x and 4x and they said it doesn't matter for the 424 card. They didn't say anything about 1x or anything, but the guy said it's all good to put it into whatever slot. Things are working, so I'm not going to test my luck with testing between the two.. Maybe ...

Reseat PCI 424 card fix!

Hey all, This may be a DUH to some of you, but it wasn't for me, so I thought i'd share in case it helps others out. I have a PCIe 424 card with 4 2408's attached to it. Recently, I've had several problems with my 2408's, like random channels not working, random banks of ADAT not working, weird glit...

Re: VEP5 w/ Event Input = Lots of Stuck & Missing Notes

Just going to let you all know of some recent discoveries i've found pertaining to this topic. For me, selecting a buffer of NONE in the VEP plugin cured the dropped note, missing notes problem. And this is with 8.04. 8.05 there were dropped notes regardless, and MOTU is fixing this. but with 8.04 a...

Re: Settings for Buffer below 1024?

I can't run DP 8 at a buffer setting lower than 1024 without getting horrific pops, dropouts, stuttering, overloads, etc. Unfortunately, 1024 is right at the cusp of the latency being just slightly too high that trying to play rapid passages is proving troublesome for me. That statement right there...

Re: Firewire video output in DP8?

Is scrubbing possible, or do you use the mini-movie for that too? yes you can scrub using the wiper (for whatever reason). MOTU is aware of the problem and they thought they fixed it for 8.05 but it somehow broke again. 8.06 "should" have all that up and running. 'm wondering if running a...

Re: Firewire video output in DP8?

I can chime in here since I have a Canopus ADVC110 and use it all the time. I use it since for some reason, even though I bought an upgraded graphics card, when my session gets big, the video will start to stutter and it throws me off when composing. The Canopus is nice and smooth. Although it's not...

Re: CPU meter dancing on the edge

Yes mdworker is the indexing. Sometimes it gets stuck and hogs a crazy amount of CPU power. I've had this before and a way to fix is to open up System Prefs -> Spotlight -> Privacy. then select the drive into the privacy area. then remove it. It'll reset the possibly corrupt index file. One time I h...

Re: CPU meter dancing on the edge

I have a very similar issue with DP8. never happened to me in DP7.. I'm working with MOTU to solve and i'll get back if I do fix it. I'm in some tight deadlines so I have been just dealing with it.. It's causing audio pops for me.. If I just restart DP, it seems to alleviate the issue for a few hour...

Re: VEP5 w/ Event Input = Lots of Stuck & Missing Notes

I'd love to also find a solution to this. I'll share my experience in hopes that it may help in solving the issue. This happened on 2 separate rigs at the studio I work at. One rig had 8.04 running for awhile, no problems. VEP5 was up to date. The only issue was random CPU spiking and erratic CPU be...

Clippings with VEP Instruments break? Bug?

Hello, Can anyone confirm this potential bug? Basically, I made a beautiful template, and to cut down on the size, I made a bunch of clippings with MIDI instruments and audio tracks for various instrument groups that I don't use often, but I want to be able to call them up if need be.. which is what...

Re: What's a "Too Big" of a Project? (VEPro)

Marc - I'm going to reply to you about the drop outs. 8GBs of RAM just died on me and it's wreckin' my DAW world. I'm severally limited all of a sudden. I'm going to order 16GBs next week and get back in business and I'll test some stuff out for you. Cool! Thank you for helping with this! I've been...

Re: What's a "Too Big" of a Project? (VEPro)

Thanks for the reply! I was getting nervous that no one was responding... thinking that i'm the only one experiencing this.. It is very interesting what DP8 can handle. Before it's release, all I heard about twas 64 bit, 64 bit, 64 bit! Unlimited project sizes, sky is the limit (well RAM is the limi...
