Re: Coming over Tom PT - Shortcuts quiz / resource

So - first question: In the Sequence tab, I’d like to move up and down between tracks using keyboard shortcuts, then either Mute or Solo the selected track with shortcuts. I do this all the time in PT and it's a fundamental navigation thing for me. (The same shortcuts let me How would a DP ninja go ...

Coming over from PT - Shortcuts quiz / resource

Hello folks - as the title suggests, I’m coming over from Pro Tools and am struggling to find equivalents for some of my everyday keyboard shortcuts. I thought I’d I kept all my asks to one thread, it might serve as a good resource for others doing the same - or might be a place casual DP users to b...

Re: Can I incorporate the Control Panel into the main window

I don't really use the control panel for control, as much as I do for a heads up display. There is a huge amount of useful information assembled in one tidy package up there. I too use key commands for most things, but a glance up at the top of the screen for visual confirmation is just a habit I ho...

Re: Just bought DP7 crossgrade, my laptop has no CD drive

rhythm_kitchen: I upgraded to one SSD as my boot drive and a 750G in an OWC tray in place of the optical drive. Gives me speedy SSD goodness, with plenty of room to put all my crap :) The optical drive goes in a little plastic external enclosure and runs off USB. I usually have one in my workbox whe...

Can I incorporate the Control Panel into the main window?

Apologies if this has been covered before - total noob to DP (but not to DAWs). Is there any way to have the control panel be part of the main window instead of floating? I love the way the main window works and how flexible it is in terms of layout, but my regular apps (Tools, Logic, Ableton Live) ...

Re: Just bought DP7 crossgrade, my laptop has no CD drive

Nazrat - you nailed it.
It's a Lion issue.

Quick call to Motu and got my cross grade registration sorted.
7.24 downloading while the kettle boils and hopefully we're off to the races... :D

Re: Just bought DP7 crossgrade, my laptop has no CD drive

Home now and still no joy... :( With the USB external connected I just get stuck in a loop of entering my name and key code in the box, hearing the CD spin up and then the dialog box coming up again asking for the CD, name and key code. Tried a complete uninstall and re-install from the CD in the ex...

Re: Just bought DP7 crossgrade, my laptop has no CD drive

Tried at the Apple Store and they pretty much did what I tried (second laptop with DVD share enabled). No joy.

Think I'll just wait 'til I fly home and try with my USB enclosure.
Bit dull, but there you are...

Just bought DP7 crossgrade, my laptop has no CD drive

Hmmmmn. I'm currently travelling in the States and I decided to take the plunge and get hold of a copy of Performer. I regularly use Logic and ProTools, but for live performance, I can't find the chunks functionality anywhere else. My macbook pro though, has no DVD drive, as I took the optical drive...

Re: What is my MTPAV trying to tell me?

Well, all the settings are intact and the battery was new only a couple months back, so I'm hopeful that all is well on that front.

That was certainly my first thought though!

Has anyone ever had this happen before?

Power cycle cleared it and it's been totally fine since, but just thought I'd check it out...
