Thanx for that tip Jim! I had not ever thought of looking @ AE's preferences for audio. I only use the audio in AE to: 1) give me a guide for syncing up visuals with sounds and 2) I have started to use the convert>audio to keyframes ability in AE to get a set of keyframes that I can use to directly ...

I guess no-one else was too interested in this -but I had to, so I have figured out how to do it. Here is the simplest solution... If you have a 5.1 SDII file (as an output from DP) it consists of 5 separate mono files. If you need to get them into After Effects as guide-tracks, the easiest way is t...

Thanx for your reply. 3. Since you are trying to export, you may have already done a 5.1 mix- and the mix appears as one file within DP soundbites window or 5.1 tracks- but are actually already a group of 6 mono files on your disk. Try opening them individually within the other program if it support...

Thanx Vbass, yeah, I am selecting the soundbite that I want to export. In fact, if I select other soundbites (as in straight stereo soundbites) the 'Export Soundbites' option is available (its not greyed-out). Methinks it has sumthing to do with the fact that the soundbite I am after happens to be 5...

I have done a 5.1 mix of a piece I have been working on. I now want to export the mix to AIFF, WAV or something similiar so that I can do some work with it in After Effects, but... the "Export Soundbites" command in the mini-menu of the Soundbites window is greyed-out. I am stumped, what c...

has mach5 been cracked already?

...dunno, I'm not into cracked things, can't stand the pirates myself.

why can't you use the one that came with it when you bought it?

I do all my work in surround, and one of the things I really would like to have is one of those little sticks-o-joy. There is the new Yamaha DM1000 , and there is also the Tascam 2400 . Very different beasts of course, the Tascam is purely a controller, but if you are working in surround, trust me, ...

The H. 264 codec is amazing, so I'm planning on using that from now on. If people don't have QT 7, it will take them a few minutes to download and install it, and its worth it. -tho be warned, if you are using QT Pro, installing QT 7 player over-writes your Pro version and you have to pay for the up...

Thanx Dan, I'll hava go with the Disk Utility thingy.

You may be onto something with the MIDI thing too, I have had DP say a coupla times lately that the "MIDI System has crashed", but that was during sessions and those files seemed fine.

Keyboard Mag did a review of MX4 in March. Here is the link: http://www.keyboardmag.com/story.asp?sectioncode=30&storycode=5149

Thanx for your reply Gregg, unfortunately, mine isn't exactly the same problem - I don't have a serial adapter, my MIDI interface is a MOTU Micro Express-USB.

Sorry to hear about your troubles tho!

:( :( :( :( I just got an Error Message w/a reference number of 103. I looked it up on MOTU's support site* and they say it is a file corrupt error. They basically give you two fixes: 1) try to 'load' the sequence(s) from the corrupt file into a new Project, or 2) try to bring the soundbites in from...

dunno if you have seen this or did the original post, but there is another thread over here
that covers the same question.

Cheers,

...I think (from memory) that button might be on the upper RIGHT of the panner's GUI, but the suggestion is a good one. you also need to make sure that any panner you are using has that individual fader for the LFE slid up. For some strange reason, when you use a surround panner in DP, it always def...
