Re: What´s the best MIDI interface for DP 9?

The latest drivers for the MicroLite is for OS 10.15 and is posted on October 2, 2019. You might want to update the MicroLite drivers for the OS you're currently running. That should help eliminate a potential issue if it doesn't solve your problems.

HTH,

Re: Best Hammond B3 VI

Yeah, VE Pro is definitely an option. I'm just hoping that either a DP update or a GSI fix will take care of the problem. At any rate, according to Guido, VB3-2 is in the works and DP8 could be around the corner. For now I'm using my Numa organ for B3 duty. Other than this VB3 issue, my system is hu...

Re: Best Hammond B3 VI

As much as I love VB3, it kills DP almost everytime I use it. In some projects, it behaves until I close the project then I get a crash on quit and in others, the mere changing of outputs can crash DP!! It's too bad because it's a very good VI and I'm using more and more organ in my music!!

Re: Why should I use Digital Performer?

I say, if you want to use a tool at its full functionality, you are supposed to know it. You're right. And as far as I'm concerned, if what you describe is knowing your tool, then I am not interested. It's a circuitous, illogical, non-musical way of doing something very simply and elegantly done in...

Re: Why should I use Digital Performer?

I suppose the environment is "logical" if you're a rocket scientist or an engineer. To me it's a colossal buzz kill, and a mangle of virtual cables, objects and data. It may very well accomplish amazing things, but none that I could find any musical use for. The simplest of MIDI routings i...

Re: Why should I use Digital Performer?

FWIW, what Frodo posted is not the mixer window in Logic but the mixer Window in the Environment in Logic!!! See all those virtual cables/lines???? That's what you have to deal with in the most dreadful thing called the environment!!!! It's anything but logical!

Re: Why should I use Digital Performer?

I'm a DP user since around 2.4 or so, and used logic studio 8. My warning to you is this: if you have outboard MIDI gear that you want to easily and freely control from within the application, forget Logic. It's a nightmare, and so poorly implemented it will utterly kill any musical inspiration you ...

Re: Moving to DP from Logic... should I do it? (and why?)

Lets us know how you go with eh :wink: Well, besides having to get used to the 6.02 GUI, it feels like coming home again. I love DP's workflow (I am sure that's due in large part to familiarity), but, I also love the simplicity of doing MIDI work in it. Workflow is seemless and doing basic audio an...

Re: Moving to DP from Logic... should I do it? (and why?)

Just to mention another feature of DP that I really missed in Logic: Multiple mixes in the same project. Can't do it in Logic!!! At least not in the same project. Multirecording MIDI in DP is a breeze. Try that in Logic sometime!!

My Dp6 copy arrives today. Can't wait!!

Re: Should I make a "Logic"-al choice?

How about just needing to control external MIDI gear in Logic??? I am not talking complex routing mind you???? Simple thing like triggering one keyboard from another? Try doing that on multiple tracks!!! How about opening multiple MIDI tracks in the same window for editing purposes? How about a MIDI...

Re: Should I make a "Logic"-al choice?

As I said in another post, as a DP user since 2000, I bought logic pro last year mostly for the VI's and the plugins, only to be frustrated and frankly shocked at some of its shortcomings, especially in the MIDI department. The ridiculous environment is a joke, if you ask me. Needless to say, I boug...

Re: Moving to DP from Logic... should I do it? (and why?)

Mike, I don't think DP 5 does exactly what Logic does as far as channel strip settings you mention. I've used channel strip settings in Logic, but sparingly, never finding quite what I am looking for. What dp 5 does is allow you to save the settings on each plug in and recall it instantaneously in a...

Re: Moving to DP from Logic... should I do it? (and why?)

I bought logic pro last year to try out the VI's, all the integration with apple loops, etc. I had been a DP user since 2000 (2.7 through 5.13). Anyway, I am coming back to DP. I just ordered DP6 this morning. Although the VI's in Logic are very good, not at the top of the heap for each category, bu...
