I don't see the crash from merge soundbites fixed, nor do I see a fix for the wiper position and playback not being properly coordinated. I'll check to see if any of those have resolved anyway.

Whoah! I've been using my workarounds for so many years (DP 7, 8 or 9? I can't remember) that I forgot it was a bug.

Depending on the number of selected tracks, those workarounds were either to a) solo all selected tracks or b) mute all unselected tracks. If this is finally fixed, it will streamline my workflow a bit.

Wow, that's another crazy one in that I've never experienced it! Like so many I've experienced that others haven't.

Hopefully the hardware insert works now!

Kontakt 8 loads faster for me. This was after a shut down and reboot so not cached RAM.

That's a bit 'snappier' in my book.

• Fixed an issue that could result in Hardware Insert latency not restoring correctly when first opening a project.
I think I can actually delete my Keyboard Maestro macro that went though the mixing board and opened all instances of the Hardware Insert plug-in and re-entered the sample offsets. Tracks with hardware inserts on them now play on time when the project is first opened.

Unfortunately, EuControl support took one step forward and two steps back. It fixed recalling customer parameter maps, but it broke other stuff. There may be a fix coming from Avid though... I'm hopeful about that.

Fantastic! Just downloaded the update. Can't wait to patch in my Lexicon and try it out. It's funny, I was just getting ready to report this bug to MOTU again this week. Now I don't have to! Long time coming! :unicorn:

Best,

Thanks, I'll do this update right now, specifically for this one bugfix that has become a big problem for me now that I need to use a mix of VST and AU plugins:

• Fixed a bug causing DP to reexamine all previously skipped plugins of the same format in addition to the selection when attempting to reexamine specific VST2 or VST3 plugins from the Audio Plug-in Preferences.

The other bugs aren't ones I have encountered in my workflow, except for a couple that I saw once or twice but didn't have steps to directly reproduce.

Oh man, I had all three of these recently! The Manual says you can put an alias in the Clippings window to load that alias, crashed DP every time. The solo bug on the Channel strip was killing me too, I do that all the time, last night even, knowing full well that the bug existed, I'm among the ones who reported it.

DP11 is officially the oldest version of DP since v4, and this definitely looks like a final bugfix update, just saying. 8)

Oh and dragging REX files into the Tracks window still hard crashes DP on Apple Silicon.

Really happy they finally fixed this for you and others! It's definitely one of those things that needs to work correctly in any DAW..

Unfortunately, I am not able to use hardware inserts at all in DP, because it doesn't (and cannot) support my interface. I have to go to Pro Tools to use hardware inserts directly, for mastering, etc. I can still mix in DP, only because I have a console with outboard inserts.

That's a good one. Almost didn't notice that. Yeah... I used to cringe when I forgot and attempted to re-examine ONE VST3 plugin and DP launched into a mass re-examination of EVERY VST3 installed on my Mac. 10 minutes wasted. I have over over a 1,000 third party plugins.

Didn't know that was a bug either. I just thought that it was a gigantic time suck to be endured. Yes!
