Re: Plug-in Sales and Special Deals Sticky Topic

Looks like the Plugin Alliance sale is going beyond 48 hours? Does anyone know for how much longer by chance? I want to pick up the Friedman Dirty Shirley amp sim but I can't until tomorrow.

Re: Learning Digital Performer???

Thanks for recommending the other book as well. 8)

I saw that on Amazon too but figured it made more sense to just get the first book and see if I like it or not before buying the second one.

Re: Learning Digital Performer???

Purchased this DP tutorial book a few days ago. It arrives today. It's quite dated but hopefully it will be informative and fun to read. Has anyone else here read it by chance?

Re: Learning Digital Performer???

Thanks for all the excellent advice! Very helpful. :)

Will check out the MOTU webinars, read the Getting Started Guide for DP, and look at PL as well.

By the way, is it true DP is one of the first (i.e. oldest) DAW's?

Thanks.

Re: Learning Digital Performer???

Try some basic projects with what you know from the videos before you read the manual. Then, later read the manual, and you'll have a lot of "aha!" moments. If you read the manual before you much anything with DP, it won't make much sense. Note there is a channel on youtube with a lot of ...

Learning Digital Performer???

Hi,

I'm relatively new to DP11 having switched over from Logic Pro X recently. I've watched some Groove3 tutorials and some of the MOTU TV tutorials so far. Other than the video tutorials, is reading the DP11 manual the best way to learn DP?

Thanks.

Re: Latency problems in DP11???

Problem solved by MOTU tech support. :headbang: If anyone's curious, I had to set up an aggregate device with the built-in output of my Mac and the Apogee Jam...and then choose this new aggregate device in DP11's configure hardware setup window. I never would have thought of that solution in a milli...

Re: Latency problems in DP11???

The original Apogee Jam was a USB 1.1 interface whose time has come and gone. If you can get it to perform the way you like, great. The current Jam+ should not be having this issue. You may want to reach out to Apogee for suggestions if that's what you have. https://apogeedigital.com/blog/apogee-in...

Re: Latency problems in DP11???

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. :) I'm recording a mono audio track using my electric guitar through an Apogee Jam interface. My guess was it was a 'look ahead' plugin too. However, using no plugins...recording dry straight into the interface with no added plugins...the latency persists. I...

Latency problems in DP11???

Hello, I'm relatively new to DP having migrated over from Logic Pro very recently. Would like to make DP11 my permanent DAW. Can anyone here think of a reason why there would be terrible latency at a buffer setting of 64 samples in DP11...yet, unnoticeable latency with the same settings in Logic Pro...

Re: Upgrading my MacBook Pro...advice needed

The Retina MBP is not upgradable. The non-Retina is. Both types were made in 2013. Internal flash drives are a blade type of SSD. There are vendors who have larger Apple OEM units if yours didn't ship with the largest available -- you generally find them on eBay when they are available. Other than ...

Re: Creating MIDI Regions in Sequence Editor?

Well...I have read and reread all of the excellent info written above and I have no idea what you guys are talking about. :D No worries, though. I am very new to DP having worked with Logic for many years. Hopefully, one day I will comprehend what is written in the previous posts...and then some. :)...
