DP 11 and Icon Qcon Pro X

Greetings, Recently picked up this control surface for use with DP, and just for making mix moves, absolutely worth it for me. However, the videos from Motu covering setup and usage are pretty basic. There may be further integration that I haven't been able to uncover, in particular, changing plugin...

Re: Updated to MacOS 11, strange behavior from DP 11

Thanks for the reply, Mike. I checked to make sure that DP had microphone access, and it did. I tried your suggestions, including reinstalling the OS, and I'm having the same text issues with the interface. I opened a techlink with motu, so we'll see what they say.

Updated to MacOS 11, strange behavior from DP 11

Hey folks, Maybe someone here can help me sort this out. Just updated my system to Big Sur, MacOS 11 - At first DP 11 would open, sort of, the app icon appeared, but no windows. Couldn't save a new project, crashed if I tried to open an old one. Started up holding shift key, and did get DP open. The...

Re: Delayed Audio

Strange that one can just create another "pre-master" aux, route everything that way that would have normally gone to the master, load up whatever plugs you want to use on that aux, and no problem, at least not in my case.

Re: Delayed Audio

Plugins on master track appear to be the problem. Probably worth having this version of the solution tacked onto the end of this thread.

Re: Delayed Audio

Has anyone found out what's going on with this? I'm having the same issue, and it's rendering DP unusable.

Re: Center wiper in sequence window in DP10

I have that checked but my playhead/wiper always sticks to the left edge of the sequence window.

Center wiper in sequence window in DP10

I've used Performer since 1988, but suddenly I cannot get the playhead to center in the sequence window! There used to be an obvious menu item for this.. probably still is. Yes, I'm wearing my glasses! Anyone point me to that option please? Thanks!

Re: DP 10.11 adjusting audio tempo on import

Thanks guys - I wound up talking to MOTU tech support, and indeed, there are new default preferences that enable stretch for new tracks. It was a little confusing determining that because of the native tempos of the audio I was importing vs. the default 120, so it really sounded like a sampling rate...

Re: DP 10.11 adjusting audio tempo on import

Whatever this is, it's affecting how DP handles audio even before it gets imported- i.e., during the import process. Sent tech support request to MOTU. Will report back if I get any answers.

Re: DP 10.11 adjusting audio tempo on import

I can't recall DP ever auto-adjusting tempo on anything I ever imported.

In 20 years, I've never had to lock tracks in any DP project I've ever recorded or edited, so I don't think that can be the issue, but thanks!

Re: DP 10.11 adjusting audio tempo on import

Have done a little more troubleshooting, but still no solution. My usual interface is UA Apollo Firewire (has worked flawlessly). Took it out of the loop and switched back to a MOTU 828.. same issue. If I try to import audio through the "Import audio" menu, I can preview the clip, and if i...

DP 10.11 adjusting audio tempo on import

Hey folks- Strange thing has suddenly come up.. As I'm dragging audio files into the sequence window. DP is adjusting the tempo, though, not in a completely consistent way. I had a couple VO clips I pulled in, and most of the time, they're playing back slow. No change in pitch, just tempo. Dropped i...

DP Spectral Effects distortion artifacts

I love using Spectral Effects for adjusting the pitch and formant of voice recordings. It's incredibly handy in much of the production I do, and I've used it a trillion times in the last 10 years. However, and I've never seen any other posts about this, my experience is that DP6 is the last version ...
