LAME for DP 8

[hammerman]

Man, I wasted an hour trying to find this. For DP 8 you need a different form of LAME and in a different place. You need to get 3.98 or greater and in this form: "libmp3lame.dylib"

I got mine here: http://nuclearpixel.com/blog/view/2010- ... _osx_10.5/

Then you put it here: Library/Audio/Plug-ins/MOTU Audio Export

You can thank me later!

wow, I was literally, just going to post asking about this.

Thanks!

Can this file be loaded before DP8

Nice one Hammerman

DP hasn't landed over here yet but I'm sure when it does, I would have grown a beard over that one!!!

Thanks

It unzips into two files, do we need both? Also, the link mentions it is for: "Mac OS X 10.5 PPC, PPC64, i386 and X86_64 architectures." Excuse my ignorance, but is a Mac Pro with an Intel processor included in that?

TIA.

Is there a Framework like other versions?

[MIDI Life Crisis]

'cause MOTU changed it. Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do the voodoo that we do sooo weeeeeeell!

I seem to recall trying to make mp3’s in DP years ago using LAME and the mp3s kind of sucked.
They at least took Waaay longer to make and had occasional drop out, artifacts etc.This got me into many discussions on the forum about ways to change setting etc, a real pain.
Then I went to i tunes and it was fantastic. Fast, flawless, almost an industry standard.
When I see folks bothering to use DP and LAME I am truly curious as to WHY?

Is it better now?
I’d love info on this.
Thanks

It was better in DP7. I also had earlier DP versions make MP3s that were way too large.

MLC, he talks about 64 bit Intel architectures in the previous version here:

You don't use a framework for this one. I always had better luck with the LAME encoder quality-wise instead of iTunes, though at high quality, it can take longer. I like how I can bounce to disk as mp3 in one step.

Not easy to find the little bugger!

Thanks, I saw that but was confused as to whether he was referring to just PPC on the Macs and not including Intel processors.

well, for me, if I've got 20 files/mixes which need to be exported, it's a hell of a lot easier just exporting from DP than dragging into itunes, converting, then trying to find the bloody files in itunes and then export them all!

First off, I use Audio Hijack Pro to capture my Mp3 mixes from DP. A great tool. It is much much easier to just engage the record button of Audio Hijack Pro and have it capture everything without futzing around with DP settings. It's an inexpensive product and the upgrades are free forever: http://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/

But secondly, I believe that you need to have LAME installed and accessible to DP (if I am remembering this correctly) if you want to import Mp3 files into DP. I sometimes drag Mp3 files onto stereo audio tracks and it works like a charm. Mono Mp3s to mono audio tracks works too. I think you have to have LAME for that, but I may be wrong. Perhaps I was trying to create an Mp3 from within DP before I purchased Audio HiJack Pro and that's why DP was asking for LAME. I'm not completely sure.

I have AHP as well, but what's so difficult about hitting the bounce button in DP and saving to MP3? If you have routing issues or freezing a lot of VI's is problematic, I can see AHP as a solution, but that happens in realtime with AHP. Bouncing in DP happens in virtual time and can be an immense time saver when you are sending cues or other stuff out to clients for review. A 45 minute soundtrack will take AHP 45 minutes to capture. DP will export than in probably under 5 minutes - more likely less on a faster machine.

Seriously, zed, the MP3 export and bounce from DP is really a much more efficient way to go unless you have a specific reason why a project needs to be captured externally.
