DP 6.02 is up

[chaim]

I don't have the force quit on closing problem but DP 6.0.2 is still not crash free.

For PPC users, this is a deal-killer - at least it is for me. It's enough to stop me from ever going to DP6.

Anyone else on PPC machines with this force quit/missing GB's issue? I was just about to head to DP 6.02...

I have never had this problem with V5 or 6.0x. Once I save, I can click on quit and DP shuts down immediately. In fact, it shuts down so fast, I was wondering if it was not shutting down properly. I figured it would take some time to clean up buffers, check prefs, etc. But it seems fine and always starts up OK. Wonder if this is somethings to do with problems in the sleep facilities in G5s? I've turned it all off because of the conflict between the UAD and sleep.

I am just now finding that in DP6 I miss the (now missing) window when bouncing to disc or exporting that allows you to change sample rate. It no longer appears as part of the process; only file type and bit depth. I'm sure I'm stupid, and there's another shortcut somewhere, but it's now taking extra steps to get a 96K file exported or bounced to 44.1K. ????

I never have my Mac set to sleep, ever. That's kind of audio 101 for Macs as well as PC's.

But anyway, that's encouraging. I noticed from your sig that you're on Tiger.
I wonder if its a PPC/Leopard/DP 6x thing.

I'd really like to get some more clarification on this issue from other
PPC users. It's something that shouldn't be happening. James?

Are you running DP6 on a PPC with Leopard? There was a thread some time back -- I think James started it -- where the conclusion was that the combination is not a good one. It may have been related to some specific plugins.

NI says on its website that Native Instruments VI's don't work with Leo on a PPC under DP6. Tiger works great for me. As often preached here at the Nation by yours truly, I love Leo for anything, except audio. It runs on a separate partition on my Quad G5 boot disc. One advantage: Since I keep the DP partition stripped of all but essential software, the urge to stray off task when booted into Tiger is reduced significantly.

This isn't happening for me. I haven't worked with a lot of projects in DP6, but I have never had trouble quitting.

Link?

I didn't see that anywhere, but I did see this knowledge base article:

If you are using your NATIVE INSTRUMENTS plug-ins in Digital Performer 6 on a PowerPC architecture Mac under the Leopard operating system (Mac OS 10.5.x), you may experience a crash upon loading the plug-ins, accompanied by an error message.

This was an issue that appeared with the release of DP6.0. This seems to have been fixed in DP6.0.2, please update to this version to resolve the problem.

The problem only appears in this specific set-up (DP6, PowerPC Mac, OS 10.5.x).

Intel Mac systems are not affected, and the plug-ins will work on a PowerPC Mac running Tiger (10.4.x).

This should fix the issue with MOST of the affected plug-ins, however we are still seeing crashes in this configuration with ABSYNTH 4 and KONTAKT 2/KONTAKT PLAYER 2.

We are in contact with MOTU about this issue and hope to have these remaining problems resolved soon.

Here's the link.

Edit: NI has a prominent 'Leopard Compatibility' page in their support area that says all their products are Leopard compatible. That's just plain not true. They should have posted this info about DP/Leopard/PPC on that page instead of in a relatively-hard-to-find knowledge base article. End of rant.

[HCMarkus]

Thank for the link Bob. I just pulled the info out of my...mind, so didn't have the link available. I really think moving to Leo for DAW work is going to have to wait until I move to Intel. I am very happy in Le Tigre.

No problems quittign DP6.02 on my Quad G5.

PS: I will now be quoting myself everytime I post.

Good idea. You do that.

Hey, that sounds like a great idea... not sure why I never thought of it myself... {slaps self on forehead}

[HCMarkus]

I'll also be quoting zed.

[monkey man]

I wondered what was going on, HC; quoting yourself sans commentary was pure genius. LOL

Yeah... but either way, I'll take the buttoms back if that's okay.

Buttoms are always a good thing!

You're getting dangerously close to my area of expertise there, Zedster. LOL

FYI, that Audio Performance window shot is obviously from DP 6.01 or 6.0. The one in DP 6.02 is smaller and more efficient use of space.
