UVI-Xtract won't run

Post by bradrose »

I have:
Mac OSX 10.4.8
Digital Performer 5.1
MachFive v. 1.2.3

This is probably something stupid I am not doing, but when I try to load UVI-Xtract nothing happens. It just sits there. I have a MachFive instrument track in the project, and a corresponding MIDI track record-enabled. I have opened a New Soundbank and have that soundbank assigned to Part 1. My DP MIDI track has MachFive-1 as its MIDI sound source. Everything seems to be set up correctly. I click the UVI-Xtract button and nothing happens. The program does not load. Nothing hangs or anything, it is as if I never clicked UVI-Xtract at all. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

What is it that you are trying to extract? Do you have a sample CD in the drive?

Well first of all, I am loading EXS24 loops from a CD which is in fact spinning in the CD drive of my computer (I am not THAT stupid).

Second of all, I went back into DP5 right after I posted the original question, and wouldn't it figure, the thing loads now. I didn't change anything. Whatever. Thanks.

You need to install UVIX & Extras from the download section of MOTU.
