It also crashes with nothing open, trying to create a new song.
When asking where to save, this appears:
"An error occurred while writing to the disk. The
file New File was not saved.
ID=-8796 Try to save your file on another disk or folder, or
with a different name."

And then crashes.

Is this happening on both your G4 and Powerbook or only on one? If it's just one, which computer gives you this warning?

If it's happening on your G4, you won't get very far with 768MB of RAM.

5.1 is SLOW - just ran a few tests against other hosts - basically the same file - in Live and Logic - and they both screamed on it - DP... whamp whamp whamp...

It looks good - but OMG... I have to wonder what is going on under the hood. Completely lame!

Why does Logic just scream no matter how many plugs you throw at it? (within reason)

Even the demo file that came with dp runs at about 40% CPU usage. - and its only like 4 virtual tracks!

Dissapointed!

The MAS version of AT3 is also crashtastic. Running the VST version under the VST wrapper works.

This, together with the Mach 5 issue, suggests to me something funky happened to MAS plugin handling in 5.1.

Check some of the earlier comments in this thread -- once people updated to MachFive 1.2.3, the crashing stopped. You should probably manually delete the MachFive MAS.bundle before running the updater, since it doesn't always seem to replace it for you.

DP 5.1 & MSI 1.1.2

Post by carrythebanner »

kelldammit wrote:msi is fooked, from what i can tell. if i install the AU version only, dp skips it on the scan, and leaves a note in the au inspection log: "use the MAS version". so, if i install the MAS version, it simply never shows up, because afaik, the MAS version isn't intel compat...
this is latest and greatest, 1.1.2.

anyone else having this problem?
this is on a fresh install, btw. the au works fine in metro ub.

The MSI 1.1.2 read me says:
Attention Digital Performer users: An Intel-compatible MAS version is expected to be released concurrently with the Intel-native version of Digital Performer. Please visit motu.com for the latest information.
I asked tech support and they said an update is coming "real soon."

Whooaa Unicorners! :D

Seems to me we all need to take a deep breath and RTFPDF.
The Gods of MOTU know the score; it's up to us to catch up now.
I mean, we of all folk should know better.
They've been listening to our complaints.
They seem to have most things covered...

So, why don't we try assuming operator error first before we go jumping to conclusions?
The bedroom newbies are supposed to be able to look to us for, um, guidance, hope, and possibly a better (pro) way of doing things. :wink:

Well, look at us! :lol:

Yeah, this thread would be a few pages shorter if everyone had RTFPDF and followed the instructions :)
