My Experience w/ DP8 - the Negatives
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 11:13 am
Hi,
I recently upgraded from a Mac Pro (2006) dual 2Ghz and DP 4.6 (OS 10.4x), to a new Mac Pro 2 2.4Ghz 6 core and DP8 (OS 10.8.2). I've been using DP8 for a few weeks now and would like to list out some problems that I'm running into. Maybe someone has some suggestions or this can be used for future updates:
1. The major problem: When I bounce down a track, several times I've noticed a 1/2 second blank skip in music towards the end of the song at around the last 7 second mark. This is incredibly frustrating.
2. Editing track names - I've noticed other users have the same problem of not being able to delete backwards to edit a typo on the track name.
3. Overall performance is noticeably slower than my previous computer/DP setup - maybe it's because I'm in 32 bit mode to run UAD plugins, but I feel like I should be experiencing an increase in performance with my new system.
4. Frontier Alphatrack not working - I've got all the "latest drivers" installed, and all I've got is the blue screen on the device. Has anyone gotten it to work with DP8? I've noticed Frontier hasn't released any new drivers in a while.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give!
