Memory Cycle plus Overdub is NOT creating new takes
I found an unanswered post with this same issue from a few years back: https://www.motunation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61577 Basically, ONE project has stopped working correctly. A recording pass using memory cycle and overdub does NOT create a new take, the record button in the transport goes from...

Re: Audible Mode Not Working In One Project
If you don't want the window open, you can record-enable the track, instead. Awesome tip. That works like a charm. Thank you! :D While I'm back, I'll rant a little... The DP9 manual has this: For MIDI tracks, Audible Mode playback is similar to pressing the Play button in the Control Panel, includi...

Audible Mode Not Working In One Project
EDIT: Figured it out. The virtual instrument's window has to be open for scrubbing to work. (Also, you can turn off the the pre-gen preference for VIs.) So, so, much to learn with this stuff. Hopefully this edit bails someone else out in the future. :) - - - - - - Sorry for being the desperate guy ...

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
The guys at MOTU picked up one of these controllers and confirmed the compatibility issue.
Pretty cool. Hopefully they can find an easy fix or workaround.
It feels good not to be crazy. The feeling probably won't last, but I'm going to take what I can get.

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
I thought I'd let everyone know I found a partial workaround to this issue: This guitar controller does record correctly if I set its output to the built-in Apple Software Synth. I can record my MIDI and hear any of the Apple Software Synth's instruments perfectly while recording. Afterward, I can s...

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
OK, so I told my kids this DP thing was just bugging me, so we wouldn't be doing anything tonight. In the long run, it's better to do something with the kids and let DP hang out to dry for a while. You only get one chance to be with the kids at their age, today. DP will still be there when you get ...

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
So, I picked up that Craigslist guitar "thing" for $125 today and it works great.
As a summary...
The Rock Band 3 Fender Mustang MIDI Guitar controller does not work with Digital Performer 8.0.4.
The You Rock Guitar YRG1000 works just fine.

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
Try using the DP MIDI keys and see if you can reproduce the same results. Yep, MIDI keys is just fine, as is the little Rock Band 3 keyboard... just the Rock Band 3 guitar (the Fender Mustang thing) isn't working right with DP8. Works fine in DP5 and GarageBand, but drops notes like crazy with DP8....

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
Did a little more testing, since the only earlier test which wasn't making sense was when GarageBand seemed to stop working after DP8 had run. I cannot reproduce that. GarageBand works fine, even after DP8 runs. Maybe I had not quit DP8 like I thought when I previously tested GarageBand. I tried out...

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
Thanks for the suggestions. In the MIDI, I don't see any bars (or lines). In the Automation section, the green triangle was already off. Turning it on didn't change anything nor did turning it back off. MOTU support had me try turning on Input Filter for SysEx events. This also did not help--I even ...

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
I should have mentioned that I noticed this too, but then found that it's not consistent (as far as I could tell). Even in the MIDI dump from above, there are several examples where the on and off were not simultaneous (none of which sounded any notes). 15:35:49.926 From FireWire 410 Note Off 6 E1 0...

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
Hi Guys, MOTU got back to me and suggested I turn on real-time effects for all plug-ins... and if that didn't help, to quit DP and delete its Preferences folder. Neither of those ideas helped; I've replied to them again. I do have more info. First, I remembered that the Rock Band game has a keyboard...

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
Thanks again for trying to help out. (Man, I hate being the newbie... I'm used to answering questions, not asking them; but I'm so far out of my element here it's not even funny.) I'm definitely sure about playback. And I have some more information (unfortunately no solution): The setup will work in...

Re: DP8 - MIDI Notes Not Sounding During Recording
Thanks for the reply! I tried several different Instruments (Modulo, Bassline, Proton, etc.). All do the same thing. It happens every time. Shutting down and restarting the Mac makes no difference, either. The non-sounding notes are completely random. For example, I could play 100 middle-C quarter n...
