I think it was my post earlier but I never got a response. I use 3 glyph drives. I record to Drive 1 and Backup to Drive 3. Sometimes the audio of the project is stored in some hidden place on Drive 2. I didn't tell it to put it there, and when you look at the directory of drive 2 it doesn't show up...

Since upgrading to a new intel Mac Pro, If I have 3 glyph drives turned on, every time I open a project or even add a plugin to a track DP starts looking on all the drives attached via firewire. I'm not even sure what it's looking for. It's slowing everything down to a crawl. The drives are not Raid...

If I understand right, you might also rename the soundbites in question before importing them.

Just an idea.

Switching out the firewire cards on the board made no difference as I didn't think it would anyway. Switching the monitors didn't help either. I do have waveforms showing after I select the tracks and then merge soundbites. Even if it's already one piece, that works to get it up on the screen. I'm w...

I don't think the files are corrupt. I unhooked the new MacPro and reconnected the old G5 and everything was as it always has been. When I connect the new MacPro up to a single monitor in studio B, everything is find, but I'm only using one monitor there. I'm going to get out the backup monitor and ...

If the wave forms are expanded to a huge size, they show up fine. No other glitches in the video portion on any screens. Only in the waveforms in the tracks and sequence windows

Just hooked up a new Mac Pro and some, not all of my projects will not show the waveform in any window. It only shows about the first half second as regular waveform but the rest is just gray space. Also all outputs default to channels 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2 but only one works at a time. If I go...

Tracking out of the board into LA-2A and back in. When monitoring the input there is no noise. When playing back the tracks that are recorded there is random clicks. Not spikey type clock noise, more like staticy type noise. And it only does it when recording to stereo tracks. Nothing that is record...

After finishing a project, I use a 2-LA-2A for the mastering compressor. I play the song and re-record back into DP and when I do, about one out of every 4 songs contains a digital click or two. I never get this when recording mono tracks live. Any ideas on what could cause this?

Just curious what everyone else does. When recording an album, do most people create new project for each song, or create a new sequence within the project?

I alwasy create a new project for each song. Keeps the size down. Less chance of a major catastrophe I think.

It doesn't happen on every project, just random projects. All projects are upgrades from DP5.13 but some work fine. I just discovered a work-around. If I close all windows and thenopen up a window set. I can then go to the tracks tab without a crash. I've trashed preferences, did all the usual stuff...

Every time I click on the "Tracks" tab to open the window, the spinning wheel of death comes up for 20 seconds and DP dies. I had been running 5.13 for a long long time, then installed 6.1 a several weeks ago and it ran fine while recording. Crashed a lot during extensive editing but that ...

I started having problems with DP5.12 suddenly quiting. I checked my ram, HD, uninstalled everything not essential to the Mac, didn't help. I then updated to DP5.13, installed the waves new update, now if I double click instead of single click, the SPINNGING WHEEL OF DEATH shows up and I have to for...

Apples to Oranges. I understood he was talking of a completed CD project, not just a "final mix" CD for the group to approve.

I have to agree with Kubi. I'm lucky in having a great friend and fellow producer/engineer Sammy Shelor working for me. We trade off projects. I master what he mixes, he masters my mixes. It's amazing what the extra set of ears can add (or take away as necessary) in the mastering process. And we fee...
