Re: Stereo to mono

There's a sneaky way to do this: 1. Create an Aux track assigned to stereo bus (say bus 1-2) output, with it's input set to your source, and place your stereo plug on an insert slot. 2. Create a mono bus 1 OR 2. You'll have to manually drag the marker square in the bundles setup. 3. Create a master...

Synful is now free

Apologies if I'm not in the correct topic branch but this is pretty cool news. Eric Lindemann has decided to make Synful free. A donation is requested "to keep Synful alive". Synful has a nontrivial learning curve and working with the various latency-avoiding tricks is not completely simpl...

Re: General AVB questions

Thank you both for the info! Yes, I was admittedly wishful and that someone was going to say, "No, a direct ethernet connection will work fine with AVB!" This does not appear to be the case. :lol: I've got a smallish set-up and am only working with a few people. My "room", such a...

General AVB questions

Hello! I'm looking to replace my PCI-424 based interfaces (2408mk3 and 24I/O). I am completely new to audio-over-ethernet (though reasonably familiar with computer networking and ethernet). I only need analog outs right now as I'm mixing down into an analog mixer. It seems that the 24Ao interface mi...

Re: MIDI Guitar: Jamstik "Studio MIDI Guitar"

@CharlzS: yep, I picked up JamOrigin a few years ago and have essentially retired my ol' Roland GI-20. JamOrigin does work pretty well though I get enough ghost notes and latency to make me...want something better. The videos do seem compelling: NAMM intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dVLQaz-Y6...

Re: MIDI Guitar: Jamstik "Studio MIDI Guitar"

Apologies for replying to my own post but here's a bit of info: if AU3 is supported (which I don't believe DP yet supports), then the Jamstik Creator software shows up as a plugin supporting (I believe) MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). However, absent AU3 support, the guitar will still show up in A...

Re: Roland S-330/S-550 samples and (multiple versions of) Kontakt

Well, me being the completely impatient and potentially (occasionally, hopefully rarely) a tad reckless person... Using the NI updater-app, Kontakt 5 was an installable option (i.e., as well as Kontakt 6) so...I installed it. Sure as heck, you can import those ".out" files in Kontakt 5...s...

Roland S-330/S-550 samples and (multiple versions of) Kontakt

I used to be able to easily import old Roland S-series samples into Kontakt. There's a utility called sdisk for creating an ".out" file image of a diskette which Kontakt would (or used to) read. I don't seem to be able to figure out how to do this with Kontakt 6 (though I believe it worked...

Re: Vienna Ensemble Pro 7: failure in plug-in inspect and networkings

Two final observations: 1.) I contacted VSL and they said that the AU3 wouldn't work in DP. I followed up and recommended that they add a note to the installation instructions on this point as a DP user might otherwise think something is amiss. DP inspects everything installed by VE Pro 7, and that ...

Re: Vienna Ensemble Pro + DP (these days)?

Interesting point on DP 10! I more-or-less have to use DP 9.52 as my "main machine" is a "legacy" 2008 MacPro (I kind of wince thinking it's legacy) which is connected to my main (legacy!) MOTU interfaces that feed the mixer. That rascal is very stable (Mavericks!) and running DP...

Re: Plug-in Sales and Special Deals Sticky Topic

VSL Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 (VE Pro 7) is on sale for 145 Euros (basically $175). I'm brand new to it but for my own $0.02, it's pretty inscrutable (emphasize I'm brand new to it). I've used their Synchron and VI players and really like the sound of their stuff. I'll just have to learn VE Pro 7. Other...

Re: Vienna Ensemble Pro + DP (these days)?

Oh, and all this time I thought Synopsis was related to eLicenser, and saw the frequent error messages as more red herrings related to eLicenser issues that come and go (but mostly persist). It's a horrible implementation; iLok has progressed in leaps and bounds while eLicenser remains burdened by ...

Re: Vienna Ensemble Pro 7: failure in plug-in inspect and networkings

@mhschmieder: Thank you for your reply! I can totally dig the NDA stuff. I also admit that I'm not the world's greatest manual reader. To that I'll add that I'm going to make some suggestions to VSL on their documentation! :D A very clever app, no doubt. I received some inscrutable error messages: 1...
