Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

As Aaron predicted, I no longer can see pallet or smart-tools. And again only have a generic pointer when working with in DP. Not even the spacer-tool that comes up when you want to resize a track. Again, I'm having this exact same issue on my old MBP M1 Max with Ventura as well my new MBP M4 Max wi...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

I only work in Consolidated Windows, and the problem does exist there for me. I think it's bound to show up for you at some point. Sorry. Oh. Well, cr*p. At the very least it's a dramatic improvement so far. I've been working in DP all day without losing the tools. With the SE separated out, I almo...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

In a case of it's always the last thing you try , since I have never worked with the Sequence Editor in the Consolidated Window it hadn't occurred to me to see if the issue was still present in the CW. Lo and behold it is NOT - not so far anyway. @Aaron , is this how you work as well? I'd be curious...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

Ugh. I couldn't wait, so I just popped over to DP and reverted to default key bindings, and the issue didn't go away. I'd love to hear any theories on how an issue, specific and nearly unique to me, could follow me to a new Mac. Again, I did a clean, install of DP on the new Mac, and only imported t...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

I’m using Apple’s wireless mouse & keyboard. Incidentally, does anyone notice a lag when pressing the space bar for “play” when using the wireless keyboard? I’m on 11.34. That previous MIDI note drag issue was extremely annoying, but as mentioned, it got fixed. This seems to be another similar ...

Re: Migration to Mac Studio M2 Ultra

I also recommend you head to the App Store and spend $3 on an app called PlugInfo. It gives you a live reading of the apps you have installed. It's a great way to keep track of what you have on your machine. This. I bet he meant PlugiInfo keeps track of plugins you have installed. Is this the app?:...

Re: Migration to Mac Studio M2 Ultra

No matter how you slice it, this is a PITA and takes a long time. I've had good luck with migration assistant but I think I would go the clean install route even though this would literally take days. Were you satisfied with the performance and stability of your previous system? The stability of th...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

So weird. I’m wondering what our systems might have in common. So far, I’ve only installed the bare minimum needed to work on the new computer, and the only thing I’ve brought over from the old Mac are my custom key bindings. Other than that I’ve only installed Logitech’s utility for my logitech mou...

Re: Migration to Mac Studio M2 Ultra

As an experiment before I make a decision whether to clean install or MA, I installed DP to see if a pesky bug I've had for over a year with DP persisted. Sadly, it did :( Somehow my disappearing-smart tools issue (the only tool I can see in DP is the pointer) is occurring on my new Mac as well. I ...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

Somehow, this issue has followed me to a new Mac on a new OS! I did a clean install of DP on my new M4, but projects, new and old still lose smart tools after a few minutes. The only pref I imported was key bindings. If that's the issue, I'm not sure which would be better, redoing all the key bindin...

Re: Migration to Mac Studio M2 Ultra

If your M1 is working well, I would be less concerned bout using Migration assistant from M1 to M4 than Intel to Apple Silicon. Sure, it would be nice to start from scratch, but time constraints are a thing, for sure. The M1 is rock solid - apart from constant fans - so I had that same thought. In ...

Re: Migration to Mac Studio M2 Ultra

I'm migrating to a new M4 Max Sequia (wee!) from an M1 Max Ventura, and I am again weighing the benefits of Migration Assistant vs clean install. I've been using computers for many years, and have never not used Migration Assistant, and I've never had any real problem. However, because of this, I'm ...

Re: DP12 release date?

Matt did more or less drop hints they're working on it in a recent webinar, something like "I wish I could put all of you under an NDA".
The fact that the webinars continue indicates to me that they haven't thrown in the towel on DP.

Re: Anyone using Soundminer?

It's by far the fastest search database I've used (launching, searching, indexing etc.), and I've used quite a few. Unfortunately, the aforementioned spot-to-DP implementation is broken for me right now. Spotting to a track creates weirdness that requires relaunching DP. I haven't had time to troubl...
