Re: View filters and track folders

Addendum: Since I got my Avid S3, I've been using VCA Tracks as a way to group families of instruments together. I'll have VCA Tracks for: Drums/Percussion Guitars Vocals Keyboard/Synth I pretty much just leave the VCA tracks at unity. I just use them to take advantage of a feature called VCA Spill ...

Re: View filters and track folders

All of the "Show/Hide" commands are already built into the DP shortcuts. You just have to assign key commands. To do the track layouts (besides a couple of basic ones like "Show All"), first create and name the layout. Then open the Commands window and search for the name you ju...

Boz Digital Big Clipper 2 updated to 2.1.0

Boz Digital Big Clipper 2 updated to 2.1.0 Boz really isn't very good about informing users of updates. I just did one of my periodic checks and discovered Big Clipper had been updated from 2.0.9 to 2.1.0. I have no idea what the changes were. Can't find them. https://www.bozdigitallabs.com/product/...

Re: View filters and track folders

That's a good one. You can assign short cuts to show/hide any kind of track or any track layout. I have a ton of them assigned on my Stream Deck. To be so specific with the types of tracks that are shown/hidden, are you using a "tagging" system where you add a particular string of charact...

Focusrite Liquid Channel: Useful in 2024?

Just wondering about the Focusrite Liquid Channel. There's a used unit for sale near me for $650. Obviously that seems a bit high... I found a YouTube video from 3 years ago where someone had paid $500 for one. I'm wondering if it's potentially a useful unit... worth adding to my studio if I get it ...

Re: Do's ans Don't's for a Crash free DP

ChatGPT I don't find this kind of digital garbage helpful, and I've seen it proliferate throughout the internet. Luckily it's still easy to spot. I'd welcome some moderator clarification on this. EDIT: the one exception I can think of would be for a non-native language translation or clarification,...

East West Memorial Day Sale

East West is having a Memorial Day Sale with 60% off libraries.

https://www.soundsonline.com/memorial-day-sale

It may be an oldie, but I wanted to dip my toe in the East West waters as I never owned any of their libraries before, so I go an oldie but seemingly versatile one on sale: Goliath.

Re: New computer, new woes!

There’s an issue with Kontakt 7 and M2/M3 Macs but it was solved by Sonoma 14.5 apparently.

Re: New computer, new woes!

What’s not playing nice? What are the symptoms? I’m on a M1 Max Mac Studio on Sonoma 14.5. I have an 828es also and am running DP 11.31 and it’s working pretty well here.

Re: UJAM Amber 2 Steel String Acoustic Guitar VI - $19 with Code

Nice one. Thanks, James. Ordinarily, I don't bother with guitar sims because I can just track them myself, but recording at home now has practical obstacles, so this might prove useful. Though I can tell it's not entirely realistic, even with it's slight fake-ishness, it's an interesting and pleasa...
