Partition or external drive?

Hi Guys, Hope this finds all of you well. I have a question which periodically keeps recurring among musicians' circles: Is it better to store sample libraries in a dedicated partition on the main hard drive, or is it better to store them in an external portable drive? I've heard stories that if the...

Re: Cinematic Music and DP

Thanx guys for the precious info, as usual. I did get the sense that MachFive has become pretty useless, unless I tweak some of its texture sounds to make them as personalized as possible, but no real use for realistic pianos, strings, woodwinds, etc. Slightly o/t ? for the o/p: is the final product...

Cinematic Music and DP

Hi Guys, I'd like to ask the community about your experience with large sample libraries for orchestra, special FX for film scores, and such. I am about to start a big project and can't figure out a few things: 1. Is it easy to handle the Vienna libraries within DP? 2. Are there other top notch orch...

Re: Recording blank audio files?!?

Ok my dear friends, So I applied the "take no prisoners" approach to the problem, formatted the whole freaking PC, re-installed everything and guess what... Audio runs flawlessly and better than before. Signals are nice and clear. BUT Now MAchfive is not showing among the Instruments in th...

Re: Recording blank audio files?!?

I have recorded some 10 songs lately, even a 9-minute orchestral composition, without the slightest problem, and haven't changed any of my routing since I recorded last week.
Signal routing is the ABC and obviously I checked that multiple times. I've been using DP since version 3.

Recording blank audio files?!?

Hi Everyone, For the past 3-4 days I've been going crazy figuring out why DP 9.52 only records blank audio files...no info on the file, just straight silent lines. I tried all possible combinations with MIDI, analog audio with different mics, etc. It just does not record any new audio information. F...

Re: Ultimate PC set-up for DP?

This is what they said: My recommendation would be -not- to get an X99 motherboard, as I've seen some issues here and there with audio interfaces and not to get a mother board that has either the Renesas or ASMedia USB chipsets. I've seen issues with these chipsets and audio hardware in the past. Th...

Re: Screen layout visualization problem

Hi Mesayre Since you've been so kind in replying to my issues I'm going to ask you an opinion on the ultimate set-up for DP. I'm in the process of doing a major upgrade and I might as well do it right from the get-go. What in your opinion is THE motherboard to get if I'm planning on using DP with SS...

Re: Screen layout visualization problem

Thank you Mesayre, I did manage to get at least the tracks window bigger, and lowering the resolution of the screen helped a bit too, although it messed up all the other apps outside of DP !! ;) I am running Windows 7, so I'm not sure I have the feature you're writing about, but I'll definitely look...

Re: Screen layout visualization problem

Thank you for your reply. I did try all of the things you mentioned (and more) before even posting my question, as I thought magnifying would be pretty obvious and self-explanatory. Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to magnify without totally distorting the layout, as when you increase the size ...

Screen layout visualization problem

Hi everyone, I used to use DP for Mac a long time ago, but since now I have a PC I recently upgraded to DP 9.13 running at 64bit. My memory of working with DP 3.11 on an old G4 is that it used to be a very clear visual layout, where everything seemed to be a lot bigger somehow...track names, MIDI ch...
