Re: Beachballs on the reg - RESOLVED

After expunging the WD software that was on my external drive with all my sessions, things were fine for a while. Then the beachballs started up again. Maybe not as frequently but enough. I moved my session to my system drive to no effect. Then I unmounted all my external drive and this seems to hav...

Re: MOTU and macOS Catalina

Why is this still pinned? Last post Nov '23 and we're 5 macOS versions past Catalina. Shouldn't a similar Sonoma and/or Sequoia thread be pinned?

Need some loopback advice

I'm trying to have Google Meet calls on my studio machine, play Digital Performer sessions, and the other participants can hear it (and avoid any voice isolation / music muting issues that I've had in the past with Zoom). For all the random crap I know about audio, loopback makes my brain hurt. Here...

Re: DP12 release date?

In general DP is ... capable of anything but because of that, it's like wading through mud to get some basic things done. I've really been feeling this lately. I have ~20 years in Digital Performer and even with my templates and experience in the app, if I'm not using it at least once a week, the n...

Re: RANT: My Argosy Studio Desk

I don’t have anything that fancy but I feel your pain. Someday all this stuff will be wireless/cableless. God forbid. I still prefer wired Ethernet. Wired Speakers. Wired Headphones. :smash: Wireless has its place in live shows, lounges and laptops. In the studio, I want electrons flowing thru phys...

Re: Beachballs on the reg

We may have just had a breakthrough. I've been trying to just live with the beachballs since posting this thread, but it became truly insufferable today. I started following some of the advice here and while digging around, found "WD Security" in my login items (macOS). Then I found WD Sec...

Beachballs on the reg - RESOLVED

Hi, I'm curious if anyone has tips on addressing the spinning beachballs that I've been encountering enough to make me write this post. They always resolve but sitting for 30-60 seconds after copying or pressing record or some other mundane task really kills the mood. Specs: [*] M2 Mac mini [*] 16g ...

Re: Mac "cleaning" app?

I'm a CleanMyMac X fanboy, myself.

As for replacing CPUs, I did that way back in the G3/G4 days and it caused major problems with ProTools LE. Presumably things have gotten better by now but caveat emptor.

Re: audio inputs gone... RESOLVED

I vaguely remember getting bit by this.

Unbelievable that DP doesn't present a modal saying "you need to enable this in settings".

Re: DP12 release date?

I'm thinking they might be going to just Performer (sans Digital) as the name in the next round. That might change up the numbering. The DP resources are littered with references to Performer (sans Lite and sans Digital) and they seem to be devoting a fair amount of attention to P Lite classes. Tot...

Re: Question about RAID drives...

FWIW, my praise of Backblaze has gone down quite a bit. I'm confident and grateful that my data is safe on their servers, but this is what's gone down since I ordered a restoration drive ($180) ( bold for irritating stuff): Ordered the drive day before Thanksgiving; confirmation page mentioned watch...
