Thanks for the suggestion, it was a good one - I think this may specifically be related to GUI issues when there are too many soundbites. I merged some sections and there's a marked improvement, though not as much as I'd like. I notice that when I'm in a section of the timeline where I've merged to ...

Hi, I'm working a on a project that was sent from a Protools colleague, via OMF. The project had about 24 tracks when it started, and is now more like 40-50 tracks. The project takes 30 minutes or more just to open, and in use DP is extremely laggy - sometimes it will beachball for upwards of 6 seco...

I'm working on a short film, and having an issue where after importing an OMF (generated in final cut), parts of the audio are missing from some tracks. The odd thing is, audio appears in the soundbites' waveforms in the sequence editor, but greyed out. I can't get at it through the waveform editor,...

As part of my workflow I often need to bounce tracks or groups of tracks individually. Is there any way to automate this? i.e., select a portion of the timeline, and have a single command bounce all the tracks separately? would be great to be able to walk away while it does this...

I know we all love to bash Avid, but I have to chime in here. This makes little sense for a studio, especially as just a DAW controller, but that's not it's target market... It's aimed at live sound, my guess is primarily for small companies for whom truck space and labor are limited, and for small ...

I have not actually done this (so no promises), but I've been around it. You need the Core Audio driver but it should work fine.

I have heard/seen some instability issues. Someone was using it for multichannel playback and it would occasionally crash the host, so YMMV.

Mine does that too sometimes. I've found it to vary based on whether I'm bus or wall-powered. I think it's a fault I should send it in for, but since I don't use S/PDIF on this interface it's not a big deal. I remember there also being S/PDIF issues with the 1st gen Traveler I used. Something simila...

Thanks for the help everyone. I was able to revert them to default (duh) and everything works as expected. Looks like something just got corrupted in the 8.03 update. And now that I know about that option, won't happen again. I did look at the MOTU keybinding download and it looks like it's just pre...

To be specific, it seems like they were lost with the 8.03 patch. Strange.

Looks like 8.03 has dramatically different key bindings than previous versions? I just wiped my hard drive to reinstall everything, and went straight to 8.03. Didn't save my commands from prev, as I have always used stock and didn't think much of it. Now I can't even delete soundbites or automation ...

That doesn't sound normal at all. I can't say I've sent out signals that clip the outputs for a long period of time, but I do listen to full-scale mixes regularly (attenuating later on) and there are never issues. It sounds more like you have a hardware issue than that you're using it wrong. That sa...

As mentioned earlier, I had a chance to compare a Heil PR30 and an MD421 a little bit ago. I'll keep comparing them when I have a chance, but contrary to what I said before they are quite different- PR30 - more detail in the top end, doesn't sound quite as focused. really great rejection, little pro...

I have an 11-month old Ultralite mk3 hybrid. When connected to the computer via USB or Firewire, and running on wall power, I get full-scale digital noise on the S/PDIF inputs. First saw it on the front panel meter, then re-routed to listen via CueMix. Doesn't appear on bus power, and will disappear...

I think the Schoeps, Neumann, Sennheiser high-end modular systems all have "wide cardioid" capsules, which seem to be what you're talking about. Since they're differentiated from the "regular cardioid" models I don't think it's a gimmick. My guess would be like yours, that you ge...

Re the Heils- I had previously only used them once, when the sound provider for a show recommended them on guitar amps. I thought they sounded good on that, though kind of dry, and without as much low-mid oomph as a 421 or 57 - I think they're lacking in proximity effect. But overall it seemed clear...
