Re: DP 8.01 is released!
Found out on twitter. Here are the changes:
New features introduced in version 8.01
The Consolidated Window now supports the full-screen feature in Mac OS X 10.7+.
The behavior for opening the Plug-in Chooser from a Mixing Board insert slot has changed slightly. If the insert slot already holds a plug-in, hold down the Command/Ctrl key while clicking the existing plug-in to open the Plug- in Chooser (instead of clicking the right side of the insert slot, as shown in Figure 67-7 on p. 769 of the DP8 User Guide).
If you use three or more monitors connected to your Mac, and you are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 for improved stability.
Improvements, optimizations, and refinements can also be found in the following areas:
- Hardware video output (both DV and MOTU video interfaces) - Movie window performance
- Sysex messages in 64-bit operation
- Rewire support
- Operation with Kontakt 4/5
- Importing sound files and soundbites, including possibly corrupted sound files - AAF export
- Clippings
- Consolidated window info panels and channel strip
- Scrolling in the Sequence Editor, MIDI Editor, Drum Editor, and Notation Editor - Meter animation throughout the program

Re: DP 8.01 is released!
I'm curious: is the online notification feature in DP still working? I remember MOTU built in the ability for DP to tell you when a new version was available. Hmmm... gonna launch and see if DP 8.0 barks at me! 
UPDATE: Cool! It did notify me. Nice feature.

Re: DP 8.01 is released!
That happened to me too. Use the link I got from twitter at the top of the thread and it will get you there. Or check manually within DP and it will get you there as well.Elektroakoustika wrote:Weird. Motu.com's download section says there are no updates available for my account.

Bounce to disk - FIXED. Still don't get options for the Quicktime movie bounce, but I can live with that. I'll have to check my MOTU TechLinks to see what else was fixed and close out a couple, if not all of them!

Also fixed the magnify tool in the MIDI graphic editor (rolling the mouse looped around the sizes).

I checked for updates manually, clicked the choice to get the update. It took me to the downloads sign in page and I logged in and it was right there at the top. I'm downloading it now.Elektroakoustika wrote:Hmm... Tried both. Still no downloads available.hammerman wrote: That happened to me too.
