DP not displaying MIDI info, audio, Markers, etc...

Post by JSeegs »

Hi. I am using DP 5.13 and for some odd reason DP is no longer displaying such important items as MIDI, audio, or markers. I can see the track list and when I press play, I hear everything fine. Why is this happening? Can someone please help?

Look for "View Filter" in the index of your DP User Guide.
The leading cause of wrong answers is asking the wrong questions.

Check your View Filter in the Setup menu.

[Edit] Wups... didn't see the reply. I've had these tabs open in Safari for a while.

But there is one other possibility I'll mention, though it's rare. Sometimes it is possible to have open the window to the wrong Chunk. If it's not the View Filter, I'd lay odds that it's the wrong chunk's window.

Great thinking, Shoosh; the active sequence responds to transport controls no matter what's displayed, as you said.

That view filter! i find it amazing that it's not project specific...or is that a preference?
Anyway, I've had a similar thing in that, in the tracks overview MIDI info disappears for a bar here and there even if there's no change. View filter set to "all"
So i might have 50 bars of the same MIDI going and at bar 10 and 27 (for example) the bars look empty. Anyone else seen this?
