unable to record
After recording 1 or 2 sessions, I have to quit DP10 and re-open it to be able to continue recording. Why is this?

Re: unable to record
After I restart DP10 I can record once or twice more. Then it stops recording again and I have to restart again. It's not a crash. It's just unresponsive.

Re: unable to record
I'd try reinstalling. Also kill the plist when DP is NOT running.

Re: unable to record
I've reinstalled a number of times, especially when the screen turns black and white in the Notation section. What do you mean about the plist?

Re: unable to record
How much free RAM do you have when this happens? You can check this in the Activity Monitor.

Re: unable to record
You can search the forum or Google it. It's basic troubleshooting you should know about. Sorry i can't go into it right now.vspiegel wrote:What do you mean about the plist?

Re: unable to record
I had a very embarrassing session a while back....
I was recording into tracks that were bussed to an Aux... eg Kik, Snr, Toms etc .... all being bussed to the Drum bus... and it refused to record!!! .... I got it... finally ... after feeling just about ready to abandon the session!! ( :
I never chased it down exactly ... But perhaps you could set the outputs of the recording tracks back to Stereo if they are set to an Aux output?
