Re: Plug-In Recommendation: Reference Track Comparing

We too use ADPTR Metric AB. In addition to the compare the metering built in and the audition modes are handy.

Personally all I really hope for in the next version of DP is refinement.
Amen! Pass the bacon.

Re: Love the new forum look!

I already shared my appreciation for this new look in the other thread. But MAN.... gotta say it again. This change you and Doris made here James, is the best looking forum I participate in. By far the most readable and even most balanced, of the dozen or so i attend to each day. Thank you again!

Re: switching to 32 float from 24 for working?

That would imply the tracks coming in as 32 had higher levels, like 0dBFS if translated as directly as possible back to 24. <snip>. Reverting to older 16 bit multitracks for mixing doesn’t trigger any less feeling of quality here, in of itself. Rooms, mics, musician and engineer talent do show up f...

Re: switching to 32 float from 24 for working?

No advantage other than processing prints and mixing prints. Those prints have to be bounces. If you mix analog and record back, no advantage past 24 bit. Downside to 32? The extra 25% storage. 24 unprocessed in a 32float mix, those extra 8 bits are transitory and repeatable, not stored. 32 bit in ...

Re: switching to 32 float from 24 for working?

@Labman: are you and your folks recording their material in their studios using DP at 33 float? Or, editing already-recorded files? Thank you. They all record at 32 bit float. Just seems to make things easier for them to keep it all the same. BUt...... we made the switch so many years ago, i cant r...

Re: switching to 32 float from 24 for working?

Since we have a team spread out in various places, we moved to 32bit float many years ago, (32/48k) for cutting and mixing on everything. As cited by others above, that made it so much easier to deal with various peak levels and compressed levels coming in from various racks in the differing buildin...

Re: DP 11.21 Released

One other bug, or possible new behavior that slipped in with this version, or with 11.1, is that Move Tracks To be Together in the SE no longer consistently moves tracks up to be together with the highest selected track. Now about half the time they move down to the lowest. Both behaviors would be ...

We can do that hear provided only if we use VST3 plugin. AU only gives us stereo options. (sorry if that has already been sadi somewhere)
