No audio or MIDI data display???

Post by funkyfreddy »

I just started having some odd behavior from DP. I have no data display in any of my windows..... sequence, MIDI, tracks overview, etc. The audio and MIDI is still there and sounds fine but I see no data whatsoever.... ???

Has anyone else had this happen? I'm using DP 9.01 and on a Mac Book Pro 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 UAD Apollo Quad

Thanks, Fred

Everybody now ---------------it's the View Filter. You probably used the key commands ⌘ F. Yes, DP is a practical joker.

TYVM! Yes.... to quote from Shooshie/DP Tips page:

2) The Problem: DISAPPEARING DATA
• Suddenly your data is missing. You can play it, but you cannot see it. You have opened every window possible, but all your MIDI (or other data) is gone.
How to fix the problem:
• Open the View Filter.
• At the bottom right you will see “Set All” and “Clear.”
• Click “Set All” and your data will be visible again. (check to make sure that all appropriate boxes are checked before closing the dialog box.

Why does this happen? If you accidentally click COMMAND-F, you will open the View Filter. The next step you make will determine whether your data will “disappear” or not. It’s very easy to hit “Clear,” thinking you’ve hit “done” or “ok” to dismiss the dialog. Sooner or later, this one bites everyone, so it’s good to know what to do when it happens. The best thing to do when the View Filter appears by accident is to hit COMMAND-W

The only thing I've seen (in DP7 and DP8 ) is sometimes the conductor track will have lots of data in it (from tap tempo) and there will be large groups of measures in the tracks overview that appear to be empty but are not. This is not related to the view filter thing. Just a bug.
