DAE driver is missing

Post by tobysan »

I just got Rosetta 800 and DA 16X, I recently installed Logic 9 and its working fine.
still need to be able to use DP so I upgrade to DP 6.03, When I try to start DP I get this error:
The DAE driver is missing or is not in the DAE folder within your System folder. Check the DAE's location and relaunch Digital Performer.

Also i cant change outputs,

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Did you install Pro Tools prior to installing DP? DP's installer readme notes that doing so is necessary for DAE to work properly. Also, what version of PT is installed?

If DP is starting up with that error and you can access the DP menu, under menu Setup --> Audio System select the MOTU Audio System rather than DAE. Or maybe try trashing DP preferneces.

If you want to use DAE mode in DP, you'll need to install Pro Tools.

There's a good technote on MOTU's site with compatibility info for DAE mode showing which versions of DAE are compatible with which versions of DP: http://www.motu.com/techsupport/technot ... patibility" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That said, if I recall correctly, DAE mode in DP 6 was a bit of a mess; the DAE guys here could fill you in on the details, but I'm pretty sure that things never really cleared up until DP 7.
