Re: Question re: using the "W" trick for multi fader adjustments

This is one of the big differences in the "sound' of different DAWs and even why we hear a difference when mixing vs listening to the mix on playback in DP. 32 bit floating point vs 48 bit double precision fixed point, or in the case of playing back 32 bit float vs 24 bit fixed. While the float...

Re: DP mixes VSL

Thank you for posting. Since you ask for comments here are a few. Try doubling or even tripling the string parts especially if have access to different sample libraries. Add a solo first violin into the mix. Use a wind controller to add greater expressivity to the solo wind instruments. Expand the d...

Re: New Macs Are Out

Apple has always been very clever with their strategy of pacing the release their new developments. It isn't easy to appear to have continuous improvements with every new cycle and yet always leave the customer wanting more, especially with every cycle coming quicker and quicker. Actually this upgra...

Reauthorizing Unisyn ?

I should place this in the general forum as it would apply to any of the MOTU software but as I am only experiencing the problem with Unisyn I thought I would ask here first. My computer died so I moved the hard disks to a new (new to me old G4 MDD) computer, so I could continue to use my PCI interf...

Re: Dither under Audio menu affect soundbite window exports?

It is math. Any time you change a sound file, change the gain, change the eq, mix two files, add fx etc, you are performing a mathematical transformation of the data. If you don't want to loose resolution the precision ie the number of bits needed to represent the new data goes up. When you store or...

Re: DP5: Flipping phase on an entire track?

Every mic and every piece of hardware gear that the signal goes through not to mention some improperly made cables have the ability to invert the output polarity referenced to the input. Then there is the real truth that somewhere it is expected that polarity will be inverted. Think about it, you po...

Re: Any MIDI Expert?

If you really don't think your MIDI set up will grow a merge box will allow your MIDI keys and guitar controller to both merge into the one output that goes into your interface and into the computer. If the controllers also make sound you my need to split your output into all of your inputs. Most ke...

Re: No MOTU PCI card not found - Well, why not?

I have had this problem on and off for years. The problem would rear its head often after a fatal crash caused by something else. Upon restarting the PCI card is not recognized. The only reliable solution was to pull and reseat the card then restart the computer. Which slot didn't really matter. One...

Great news for making your own samples. Sampletank 2.5 can accept SD2 files directly from the open DP session. It also doesn't matter the order of the name, meaning NAME Note Velocity is OK. I just loaded up the left channel only and it ignores the automatically added .L or .R in the soundbite name ...

I assume the "bonus bank" is the Banks Bank.

Is there a trick to downloading the demo sounds and playing them in the authorized version?

Can anyone point me toward other free sampletank sounds?

My best find so far is.

Thanks Zed for Allen's email. I was #404 so late in the queue to sign up, but I have been able to download the retro grooves, just can't play with them yet. :(
