control surface mystery
I have DP 8 and my mackie control surfaces work fine with it...but when I open DP 7 I have no control surface and it doesn't even show the driver option in the control surface set up pane..?/ can anyone enlighten me why this is is..it is like DP 7 no longer sees MIDI or something,,,I am baffled...?? I just want my control surface back in 7 because I am still partially working in it on some old files. Thanks in advance. Mark

Re: control surface mystery
I hear you. I had the same problem. Also my joy stick I use for surround panning wasn't recognized any longer in 7.24. So.... I got rid of DP 8 and did a fresh install of 7.24 and all is good in the world again. When DP has a fix for this, i'll look at it again, but for now I'm sticking with DP 7.24 and 10.6.8
Plus I have to be able to use Quicktime pro 7.6.6 for sound design and scoring. QT 10 doesn't see window burned time code .MOV's.... Go figure.
let us know if you hear something from Mackie or MOTU on this.

Re: control surface mystery
Yeah, I knew better than to go with 8 and 10.8.3.....everything was working fine...now half my plugs don't work etc. etc....well, live and learn I guess. I doubt MOTU will do anything about it so I'm not even going to bother to contact them.

Re: control surface mystery
I ended up opening it up in 32 bit. Problem solved
