Mac pro 5.1 Xeon processor 5680/5690 upgrade for DP9

I have been contemplating upgrading my 2012 mac pro 5.1 12 core 2.4 ghz / 64GB ram as it has been reaching its limits at times . I know a lot of people seem to have had good results with the Xeon 5690 3.46 GHZ processors. My question is about comparing the 5680 3.33 processors with the 5690 . Anyone...

Re: Chris Hein's upcoming Solo Violin library -- most flexib

I've been using virharmonic bohemian violin and it works pretty well adapting articulations to what you input in once you get used to it . It has a lot of nice character to it . i have also found it doesn't work quite as well on existing MIDI parts that were played in previously.

Re: Steinway library

I have both the Ivory 2 Steinway and East West Diamond Steinway in my studio and tend to prefer the sound of EW Steinway for much of what of what I have been recording lately. Question: from which library did you get the EW Diamond Steinway? I looked through their stuff and can't seem to find it an...

Re: Any Apollo Users?

I don't think you want to mute the console or you won't hear anything coming into DP from the apollo. You don't need the console open to hear anything either. Your speakers should be plugged into the main monitors output 1&2 . How are your inputs for the motif set up in DP MIDI or audio track ar...

Re: 3 over 2 tempo grid conversion in DP 8

Thanks for the suggestion with the scale time which I didn't try yet. But I also found another solution which someone else on the Yahoo Motu-Mac list mentioned to me which was to lock all the tracks. I never thought of that or really used it for this function. I then did the tempo and meter change a...

3 over 2 tempo grid conversion in DP 8

I'm having a tempo grid conversion problem in DP 8.07 and I haven't been able to figure out the best way to accomplish this as the the sequence plays back wrong every time. It sounds fine without the click, kind of a afro cuban latin feel. It's both audio and MIDI but no stretching is involved as I ...

Re: Mackie Control users please chime in

I recently had an issue with two sessions in DP 8.07 where one my tracks would become stuck in record ready even after it was disengaged, it would continue to arm itself. It too was a heavy processed session with Plugins and VIs. After lots of trouble shooting, restarting , copying and duplication t...

Can't unarm a record ready track ?

I've had this happen recently on two separate projects in DP 8.07 where I have been recording some parts and one of the tracks will remain armed to record . I keep turning off the record button on the track and it will immediately come back on . This has happened on both a MIDI track and audio track...

Re: There's a new "B3" in town

I still use NI B4 II as well with J-Bridge which has worked great with that and few other 32b plugins I still use and is a steal for $12 . I haven't tried the B4 with PSP's L'Otary Leslie yet so will have to try that out, as I do have it but have only used it on guitar so far and it sounds great wit...

If you don't like UA, fine, no need for a bunch of UA bad mouthing though.
It's a sale, so it's on-topic.
I'm checking this sale out as well and have a few coupons available so I can probably get something free or super cheap .

Re: A question about UA accelerator cards

Can someone give me a very short synopsis or point me to the thread to understand what the "preset name issue" is? The issue is that presets saved within a UA plug-in's own GUI don't get recalled the next time you open that DP project. However, this is SO easy to address. Just save a pres...

Re: A question about UA accelerator cards

I asked UAD Support about the preset name problem with DP. They told me DP was not tested or supported for UAD2 products. They recommended contacting MOTU to resolve preset name issue, which I have done but not heard back form MOTU other then they would look into it. Not impressed with the lack of ...
