Re: I Can't "Shift" Select in 7.1

This came up before. It's a Mac OSX thing, right? I remember that it used to be Shift-Click to "jump over" some items in a list, but now it's Command-Click system wide, I believe. Buzzy I believe that it was in the DP update/upgrade notes a while back stating that they were changing this ...

I Can't "Shift" Select in 7.1

Back in all other versions of DP, I could hold shift and select individual tracks. For example, I could select track one and four. Now, if I try to do that, I get tracks 1-4. I can't find a way around it. I have searched the prefs but nothing is ringing a bell. If I want to bounce only certain track...

Re: MIDI setup problem?

I wanted to finally say thank you for the advice. I got around to the battery change on the MTP AV today and that seemed to do the trick.

Once again, thank you all for the help. Much appreciated!

Re: MIDI setup problem?

That could be the issue. My old G4 started having the same trouble at the end of its life--exact same issues.

Any way to check, via software, the state of the battery?

Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate it!

MIDI setup problem?

In my audio/MIDI setup, I lose my active interface every time I turn the computer off and back on the next day. MIDI interface is a MOTU MIDI Timepiece. When I go into the MIDI setup, I have a washed out original MTP and a new instance. I have to delete the old device and reconnect all my synths to ...

Can You Recommend a DP Compatible Inexpensive Audio i/o

A friend bought an new iBook and wants to use DP. He is going to be doing simple guitar and/or piano + vocal demos. He doesn't need a $500+ interface. What should I recommend for him to have a look at?

Re: Good Virtual Brass?

Frodo--I checked out the Garritan Big Band and I think that will fill the need perfectly. You are worth your weight in gold for that suggestion. Thank you!

Re: Good Virtual Brass?

Thanks for the ideas. Specifically, I have been asked to add a horn arrangement on top of a rock and roll tune, a la Chuck Berry. So, what I am looking for is horn sounds that would work with rock and soul type grooves. Not so much big band arrangements--just some sounds that would work well with ro...

Good Virtual Brass?

I have an upcoming project that needs some killer brass samples. I am looking for two things. First, I am looking for a select group of samples that I can use with DP 5--not phrases but pure samples. Second, I am looking for a package that will not cost me a thousand bucks. I just want to write and ...

I recently said goodbye to my G4 Dual 800 and bought a Intel iMac. So I had to get DP 5. All I can say is that I am VERY impressed with 5.12 on the iMac. Everything is both better, faster and rock solid. On my G4, using 4.5 and 4.61, if I did three actions and forgot to save, the program would quit....

I have only used this feature to quantize percussion--tambourines, hand claps, etc. What I do is apply the remove silence to the whole soundbite. You have to find the right threshold, etc. Once you have the soundbite divided up into a bunch of separate soundbites that have some space between them, y...

Re: AU softsynths gone AWOL in DP 4.6

I had this problem in 4.6 with BFD. Double clicking on the icon in the mixing board effect insert labeled BFD gave me only the header.

However, when I open a file created in 4.5 that has BFD already in use, I can open the whole edit window for BFD in 4.6. Weird.

DP 4.5 and LAME. Mine is Gone

Upon having to reinstall DP 4.5, my LAME encoder is gone. I went to the site to download it and it said to put it in Library/Frameworks. I have no "frameworks" folder so I put it in the LIbrary folder. It doesn't work. OK. I'm stupid or something. I just don;t get how to get it back. Any h...
