I posted with the idea of getting some insight on different workflows. Please do not hesitate to pitch in if you have anything to add.

This is a small example of how I usually work for film scoring. One of the fantastic things about DP is that you can accomplish the same thing in many different ways. This is just my approach. All comments and alternatives are welcome. Project : Compose original music for an 86 min documentary film,...

if you create a song made of empty chunks, it would make sense that it crashes, follow the advise of the fellow dp users and do not use songs, only chunks. If the instrumentation is to "heavy" (orchestral pieces for example), you can use other projects as well. What I do is organize the cu...

Lock your audio tracks on the Tracks Overview window and then change the tempo

Solution: Files needed the extension ".perf" Not sure why they open on my computer without it and were necessary on his, though. Odd. The extensions are probably hidden in your computer, but they are certainly there. Select the file on the finder and choose get info (command-I), there you...

If you are not shouting something specific you can always use libraries, there are thousands of high quality, royalty free, crowd sounds on the internet that you can buy for a few dollars or even for free, you can use them alone or to fatten up your recording.

Another trick: Lets say that you record three stereo tracks, duplicate those tracks and an then edit them cutting a few seconds at the beginning, sliding the remaining soundbite to the beginning and pasting the cut part at the end, the effect will be as doubling them. If the recording is a few minut...

Switching out the firewire cards on the board made no difference as I didn't think it would anyway. Switching the monitors didn't help either. I do have waveforms showing after I select the tracks and then merge soundbites. Even if it's already one piece, that works to get it up on the screen. I'm ...

I experienced the same thing bringing files from a Macbook Pro to a G5, both on DP 6.02.

Start at the beginning, set your tempo and as you move down the cue list, you can change tempos without issue. The problem occurs when you go back and change a tempo in an earlier cue - it will affect all the cues after it. You can get around this by locking everything. (Also make a habit of creati...

I have had the same problem. I cannot open an OMF in DP6 or 5. I have PT8 with digitranslator and tried everything to get it to open in DP6 and 5. Funny I can open in DP4 but if they are wav files it will not open because DP did not support that format for that vers. Oh man, maybe it's a Canadian t...

It is a strange situation, I have two computers, a G5 running Tiger and a Macbook pro on Leopard. I cannot open OMFs from FCP in neither of them using DP6.02 (I have tried several times with different projects), I have to use DP 5.13 as a bridge.

It doesn't work for me in DP6 either, I have tried it many times, what I have to do is import it in DP 5.13 quit the program and then open the file again in DP6. Very annoying, but it seems to be the only way at least for me.

OK, so this is how it goes, the service center tells me that there is no need to upgrade my Kontakt plug-in, despite this I downloaded the last version 2.2.4 which is basically for intel macs (I have a G5). And the problem was solved, It works in DP 6.02. So here are my conclusions, they need to be ...

I sent an email to NI technical support. I am still waiting for an answer. The weirdest thing is that the standalone version is working fine. I can't figure out why the plug-in wouldn't
