Right. Does that mean you are indeed
snapshot automating every single parameter of every single plug in in your project even if those parameters actually never change throughout the entire sequence?
No it doesn’t. And every time I read your responses, it feels to me that you are not taking into account the fact that it worked in 8.07. Debating whether I work right isn’t the point. The point was DP became LESS able to handle large amounts of automation. That was what I was reporting. All this other mumbojumbo about my work habits bro? Why? I am showing all of us DP doesn’t handle automation as well in its later versions. Do you NOT want to know that? It’s informative.
1) However I work, It all worked when I made the damn songs
2) It doesn’t after 8.07. Same session file, nothing changed, works in 8.07, fails miserably in nine and above. ( importing session into a clean 9 or 10 file doesn’t solve the issue either )
3) Tests through various systems and clean installs rule out it is my particular system.
4) I reported it as a lessening of automation capability...ts DATA man.
Don’t hate me or my posts. Question WHAT is REstimulating in everybody’s mind. I think I’m stirring up memories of Gearslutz trolls that come here just a bitch and moan for the purpose of bitching and moaning or getting personal, throwing shade on people etc.
I have data. It’s real. Accept it for what it is. You now know MORE about DP than you did before now as the extra data is all the new comps and clean installs rule out my particular system.. . There’s been a gamut of tests by a member presented . I tried to write it out logically. Hope it made some sort of sense. Not just trying to throw shade on DP land.
PS.
I have sent MOTU yet another offer of a session file.
Their servers can’t accept a large file so I await advise on how they want it sent. I sent them one a couple years back too.
By the way, lest you think I “harp too much”, I showed a very prominent person at MOTU The ramping issue just last year, and they were amazed to see it. They did not know about it. I demonstrated it in person. I cannot believe that high up staff aren’t aware of this issue, that pasting a mix screws up a mix, it absolutely blows my mind. So as many times as I might’ve come here to where you’re sick of it, still MOTU hadn’t really
known about it. I write that in response to people who might say don’t go through proper channels to get issues taken care of.

My tests also show that the log jam is in the programming of DP. And my very experienced technician tells me that software can be inefficient while a computer has plenty of headroom remaining. That is my situation. I have plenty of comp head room remaining, I am guessing that DP chokes due to its own code, or the way it interacts with 3rd party code. But it didn’t in 8.07. It did a bit graphically, but not playback.
Now, just to rule out some things about third-party software. It was not an update of a third party software that slow things down in DP9.
Whatever version of all the software I have, it all works in 8.07.
Logically, if it was third-party software that screwed everything up, it would also stop working in 8.07
