It's all under the hood stuff, I just made sure everything matched up. I also plugged the .xml values from the mods into the new file versions of 7.02.Dwetmaster wrote:Can you tell what's the difference?

Re: AmpGUI7 (always updating first post)
BTW, I'll have you know that Night and Gold are working together for me in a complementary way. Yep, when I open them both at the same time, they sit there together saying things like "looking good today, Shooshie! Wow, that was an expert move; how'd you know that?" and other flattering compliments.
Doh! That's not what I meant at all! No, what I meant to say is that Switching back and forth between them every few hours seems to be very easy on the eyes, but also is relaxing in some other way. I don't get as tense when I'm working. Very nice. Also, I think it's easier to work in the Sequence Editor in Gold, while the MIDI editor looks really cool in Night. I have found color sets that work great with each, so when I switch it's just a matter of hitting a key, and the colors compliment, too.
I never thought I'd actually get hooked on a DP mod. MOTU seriously needs to incorporate this into DP. Seriously! (which is another way of saying "Shooshie really dreads updating the mods every time MOTU releases an app update. But I'll do it anyway, since I'm hooked.)

Re: AmpGUI7 (always updating first post)
Our tools should inspire us as well as facilitate, right? I think sometimes the code guys lose sight of this, which I can't entirely blame them for. Damn, it's a lot of work.Shooshie wrote:I never thought I'd actually get hooked on a DP mod. MOTU seriously needs to incorporate this into DP. Seriously!

Re: AmpGUI7 (always updating first post)
Could someone reiterate how to make a copy of DP so I can apply these new mods and be able to go back and forth between them?
thanks in advance.

Re: AmpGUI7 (always updating first post)
Just find the original DP app in the Finder. Right click and choose "Duplicate file" or whatever the exact command is (I'm on my Windoze machine right now). Once it's done there will be a file called "Digtial Performer 7.02 copy". Apply the desired mod to this copy, then rename the file replacing the word "copy" with the name of the mod, for example "Digital Performer 7.02 Night" Then all you have to do is put a copy of this on your dock and launch whichever version of DP you wish to run. You can make a copy for each mod you wish to have available. It won't hurt anything to have multiple copies of the DP app on your hard drive. I make a DP7 folder in the Applications folder just to keep things easier.bradswan wrote:Could someone reiterate how to make a copy of DP so I can apply these new mods and be able to go back and forth between them?

Re: AmpGUI7 (always updating first post)
Maybe it's a known issue but on Night 1.3 with mixer in narrow mode, there's some glitch (a lil white square over the "h" of "latch") on the automation popup.amplidood wrote:Night 1.3 and Gold Complete 3.1 posted....for 7.02 only
