My system is a Mac Studio M1 Max (OS 12.7.4 Monterey), Stage B-16 (firmware version: 1.4.0+90954) interface, and DP11 (11.3.94678). While running DP, I'll be recording, editing, mixing...etc and all of a sudden for no apparent reason the MOTU Audio System will simply quit, go silent. I found a quick...

Thank you Mike and James! I can always count on you guys for timely, helpful info. Using "Punches" is going to do the job! I had no idea DP had that feature. I create an .MOV file which is totally black screen for the length of the song. Open in DP and dedicate a monitor screen for the .MO...

Is there a product out there that will receive the tempo info from a DP file and blink a light in tempo (visible metronome) for musicians to follow rather than an audible click?
Thanks...macdog172

Here is my system: Mac Studio Max, DP 11.22, MOTU Stage-B16 interface. Love my new system. Very stable except for this one issue. I'll be working along, recording, listening back, editing, etc. Then for no apparent reason the audio tracks will stop playing. Everything MIDI is fine. Just the audio fi...

Thank you FrankD for the insight on file transfer. Thank you HC for confirming my "epiphany"! HCMarkus wrote: Currently, my 828ES is set up to provide up to 15 mic inputs via an eight-channel optical mic pre/expander plus some outboard preamps running into the 828's analog inputs. What opt...

Thanks James and HC. Once again you guys have schooled me! After reading your posts I have had an enormous epiphany. I think I might change my entire paradigm...follow me for a moment and then let me know if I am crazy or not... I have been stuck on the idea of continuing to use my Tascam DM-24 cons...

Hey guys. Well I finally got my Mac Studio in and now I'm shopping for interfaces. I wanted the MOTU 828es but they are no where to be found on the planet! Apparently MOTU is waiting for chips from a supplier and won't publish a delivery date. So I'm thinking about the MOTU 112D 112x112 Thunderbolt ...

Thank you James and HC. I think the 828es is indeed the interface for me. So, it's going to be the Mac Studio M1 Max, the MOTU 828es, and of course DP 11. Whew! I'm on the bleeding edge of my budget but I'm sure this is the right combo for my studio upgrade. Speaking of "bleeding edge of my bud...

The more I look at MOTU's interfaces the more I'm thinking the 828es. It has two ADAT connections with 8 channels per. If I can find another ADAT card for my DM-24, I have an open slot, I could have 16 channels. Just thinking out loud here. Still not sure...macdog

After pondering all of the great info that has been submitted to this thread I have decided to go with an upgrade as opposed to buying a refurbished G5. I am now confident that I will indeed be able to import my old DP 4.12 files into DP 11. My computer of choice will be the Mac Studio M1 Max. Now t...

Roger that...wilco! Thanks again James...macdog172

Wow. Thank you James for the education! I needed it. As I said in a previous post I've been out of the loop on S/W and hardware for about 17 years. I will take your recommendation under strong consideration. It makes perfect sense to me to go with the Apple Silicon. So I have another question for yo...

Thank you James, Mike Halloran and HCMarkus for the great info. I'm feeling much better about upgrading now! I have a MOTU 2408 Mark 3 interface that I hope I can still use. I suppose that will depend on the Mac I get. Will need PCI slots. Also USB for MIDI hookup. Any other advice on hardware will ...

Thanks for the timely response! My main concern was that the DP 4 files were created with the PowerPC architecture and of course DP 11 will be on an Intel Mac. I saved all my files in the standard DP format. I would feel much better if I had also saved them in the OMF format. However I did not. Can ...

My trusty PowerMac G5 has gone to the great beyond and I am now forced with the decision to either buy a refurbished G5 or to upgrade my studio to the latest DP version obviously getting a new Mac in the process. My question is this: Will I be able to import my DP 4.12 project files into the latest ...
