Re: Opening old projects

If you open DP while holding down the shift key, the audio driver won't run but the file might open. If so, then turn on "Motu Audio System" via SETUP. If the project works now, save it. This has worked for me on a number of problematic older files in DP 7.24 that I thought were gone for g...

Re: DP 8 Is Now Shipping!

Darn, I see that Motu is still using UPS to Canada. There are more reasonable options that are just as reliable. Recently had a great USPS / Purolator experience with a large package from USA - Canada from BH in NYC. . All the costs, taxes, duties, and "brokerage" fees were clear and up fr...

Re: Ultralite volume knob stopped functioning

Thanks. That would be lovely. Cuemix will control many things but as far as I know, it will not control the "main volume" which is the knob that failed. Check your ultralite manual - I believe that cuemix can control every function accessible through the hardware controls except maybe enab...

Re: Ultralite volume knob stopped functioning

My personal experience was that nothing helped BUT it did mysteriously start working again BUT then it stopped and then yes again and then no etc. This would be over a period of days or weeks and sometimes, I'd get stuck with an unworkably low volume. So I finally wised up and the next time it start...

Re: everb (mono to stereo) balance L&R?

Yes Thanks! for example: a simple mono vox track panned straight up the middle. When I add everb mono to stereo, eg. 27% mix 45% stereo, it tends to be hotter on the left and also visibly so on the master. I hadn't noticed it at first but when trying to do a rough mix of something, I tried to identi...

everb (mono to stereo) balance L&R?

Hi,
When I insert everb (mono to stereo)on a track, the overall balance of the newly stereo track tends to be quite left heavy, even more so at the master.Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this and/or can enlighten me as to why this happens and how they deal with it. Thanks

Re: Duplicate Mix Mode Problems? Relief !

Big thanks to the marvelous Dave at wonderful MOTU tech links ! Haven't yet figured out what I might have done to cause a few projects to be bitten by this corruption, but in the mean time, his solution is working for me. If anyone else is experiencing this problem try: "toggle between two mixe...

Re: Duplicate Mix Mode Problems?

Yes. Thanks. I've been doing a lot of saving and relaunching since I rediscovered the problem. It sort of partially defeats the purpose of mix mode for me - quickly saving alternate versions of a mix that can be a/b compared quickly. I also worry if anything other than the clearly visible moving fad...

Duplicate Mix Mode Problems?

Hi, I'm having problems using "duplicate mix" in mix mode. I realized that some faders move when I select duplicate mix and just now , that happened when I renamed a mix. I'm using DP 7.24. I remember running into the duplicate mix problem ages ago and just haven't trusted or used mixmode ...

Ultralite volume knob stopped functioning

Hi, I have an Ultralite problem. Main volume knob on Ultralite first generation no longer works for controlling volume. Headphone knob still works. I also can't figure out how to maybe use Cuemix to control main out volume , if this is possible as a workaraound? Knob still functions as on/off switch...

Re: Position bar in 7

I still miss the position bar. It worked perfectly with the way I visualize position in a song and in this way worked better than any of the suggested alternatives have since. It was a great way to quickly get near where I wanted to be quickly which , in many instances, is exactly what I want.

Re: loop and new take

Try Polar ~ its still very cool despite climate change.It is ideally suited to looping a section and either building layers or individual parts. You can decide afterwards and pan and mix what you have recorded etc
