Re: Plugin Alliance Updates

Plugin Alliance Updates Decided to do the painstaking comparison using PlugInfo and then checking version numbers via my Account page on their website. Gee, wouldn't it be nice if the otherwise convenient PA Installation Manager actually informed the user when their plugins needed updates, instead ...

Re: Atmos monitoring with two 828es interfaces - possible?

I've been running a 7.1.4 system using an 828es for about a year. L-C-R + LFE from 828es outputs, then sides, rears and heights from a Behringer ADA8200 (fed by one of the 828es's ADAT outs). Room correction by Sonarworks Multichannel. Works great! But you are correct that you can't use the 828's ph...

Re: DP to/from Mainstage/Logic via Blue Cat Connector

Thank you for posting this, stubbsonic. I had tried to get BCC working between Studio One and Mainstage a couple years ago, but never with satisfactory results. Using your recipe, I can send MIDI from S1 triggering Alchemy in MS, record the MIDI on a track, edit the MIDI and then record the audio co...

Re: Major studio upgrade question please

Like the OP, I had 2 UAD Solo PCIe cards and lots of plugins. When I went from a 5,1 Mac Pro to a Mac Studio (M1 Max), I bought a Quad TB3 Satellite. Given the fact that I now have the option of using native versions of many of my UAD plugins (at no extra cost!), I've never even come close to maxing...

Re: Plug-in Sales and Special Deals Sticky Topic

Celemony's June Melodyne upgrade sale has been mentioned here earlier, but wanted to note that the sale ends today (6/30). My upgrade from Editor to Studio was $99 (usually $349!). Upgrades between all Melodyne tiers are similarly discounted. https://shop.celemony.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/CelemonyShop...

Re: Go Big or Go Home?

I've also been using a 43" Samsung 4K TV as monitor for the past few years with no issues. Connected directly to HDMI port on Mac Studio. One thing to check in System Settings/Displays: Are you using the full 4K resolution (3840 x 2160), not scaling down to a lower resolution? Per Apple: "...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

Antares Central no longer works and has been superseded by Autotune Central. I had no problem in Ventura. My screen shot shows that my licenses are authorized. Antares Support has been unhelpful. If I could get them back on iLok, that would be great — except that iLok server is having problems toda...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

Antares is not working over Sonoma for anyone as far as I know. The issue is that their plugs cannot verify the licenses. The license manager opens but no-go. Apple Silicon is not the issue. Are you guys saying that Antares plugins aren't working in DP/Sonoma or Sonoma in general? The only Antares ...

Re: SpectraLayers 10 is a life saver, for legacy projects

I have some recordings from a 1980's project that got uploaded to digital from cassette back when most of us only had two-track options in the digital realm (pre-computer recording days), meaning everything is two-track stereo mixes, sadly. I'm working on a similar project right now, trying to clea...

Need help with 828es silent “From Computer” outputs

I’m setting up a new Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 speaker system (with IK MTM monitors), and everything’s (mostly) working fine. In the early testing phase; no DAW involved, just playing Atmos from Apple Music. Using 828 Analog Outs 1-4 for L-R-C-LFE, and feeding a Behringer ADA8200 from Optical Out A for the ...

Re: Jumping to Mac Studio Seeking advice on USB hub

The first accessory I bought for my Mac Studio was an OWC Thunderbolt dock. I think they have several models, but the one I have gives you 4 extra USB-A ports on its back, and 2 ports on the front (one USB-A and one USB-C). I leave the front ports open for easy temporary access. My dock is pretty we...

Re: Favorite or recommended synth VIs

Thanx Mike and Cuttime. Yes, for sure I know that and I own Logic and Mainstage licenses too. But in case someone is aware of a reliable and future-proof way to use Apple-Alchemy within DP, please chime in. You can do it using the Blue Cat Connector plugin, which passes audio and/or MIDI back and f...
