Re: Digital Performer

I have several versions of DP in my downloads folder. Can I delete the older versions without affecting my current files or the latest version of DP which I just downloaded? Thx, Ed How far back are we talking? After a certain version, all the MAS plugs are contained inside the DP application bundl...

Re: We need a project load dialog

Oh yeah... and one of my other little admittedly minor, cosmetic quibbles in addition to the lack of a project load dialog is why DP is the only Mac DAW I know of whose splash screen randomly appears or doesn't appear on launch. And yes... I know that after a crash, often the only way you know DP is...

Re: We need a project load dialog

I'm not going to say it's entirely *rational* but first of all I like some visual feedback as to what's going on. On top of it, if it displayed the name of the plug-in as it's loading, it might help provide clues if there is a crash. Pro Tools sort of does this. Also, yes... the ability to Cancel ou...

Chunks Window Insanity

Are you talking about re-ordering the chunks in the chunks window? It seems to work fine here. I click on the little block of cheese, and drag it slowly up or down, the others spread apart showing where it will go, then it goes there. I wonder if there's something about the mouse/trackpad settings ...

Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

Just an update. After you run MediaBay Uninstaller.app , the next time you launch Steinberg Download Assistant , it will detect that MediaBay is missing and reinstall it. See screenshot: updatingmediabay.jpg At first I was excited when I saw this, hoping that Steinberg had released an updated (fixed...

Re: Chunks Window Insanity

Re: the Song Window... I hadn't really thought about it in a while, but my impression was that if you were doing MIDI only, then it was pretty useful. When audio got added to the whole picture, then it started to get cumbersome. It could have been a very deep rabbit hole for MOTU to make that work w...

Re: Option to patch buss comp between main outs and monitors? Stupid idea?

Again... might be a stupid idea... so be gentle. LOL. I'm also thinking that having it between main outs and monitors would subtly affect decisions about EQ, etc. but if it's just during the composing arranging phase it might be okay going on the assumption that things may get tweaked when it's out ...

Option to patch buss comp between main outs and monitors? Stupid idea?

So I have an AudioScape Buss Compressor on order. I'm finally getting around to setting up my patchbay and I'll need to be doing some soldering soon. So anyway, a weird idea popped into my head. First... the problem. More and more people are doing I guess what they call "top down" mixing? ...

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

Odd... I inserted it into a mastering chain on my Master Fader track and the visualizer and all the graphics on screen got very slow and stuttered. But it was a very weird situation because I created a new Master Fader and inserted the same plugs and it was fine. Weird. Cool plug.

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

For anyone who wants to know... you do get a 10 day free trial when you first install these so you can evaluate them. Which is what I probably should have done. I just bought this one blind. :D

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

Interesting about only AU and VST3. I see a few plugins now and then that do not have AAX versions. I have Pro Tools on my Mac and am current with 2024.3.1 but I really don't use it. But good to know when they don't cover ALL plugin formats. Well, I just installed it and I guess I assumed the worst...

Re: APU Loudness Compressor Plugin... this looks kinda cool!

I'm picking this up for sure, struggling a bit with an old recording of vocals that are all over the place loudness wise even when heavily compressed.. I just went ahead and bought the bundle, too. I noticed as I'm downloading things that at first glance it seems to include a decent manual as well,...
