Like a Bad Penny.... Bounce to Disk Issues

So for it seems like 2 years now I've been trying to get DP latest versions to BTD without hanging, stalling for quite a long time, minutes sometimes before finishing a simple BTD. I've been with Tech Support.. and painfully been trying to figure this one out. I almost bought a new Apogee Symphony M...

DP. Apogee Symphony, Trash Can, BTD Freezes

So now that things have settled down a bit... ha! I'm wondering if anyone else has been having issues with Bounce to Disk (BTD) freezing, then moving on, then freezing, etc... taking much too long to complete a simple BTD despite no plug-ins. I've been using my trashcan Mac with El Capitan for quite...

Re: MP3 Export suddenly not working

So the problem suddenly went away after a few reboots and more importantly disconnecting my iPod from the computer which had activated iTunes. Somehow I think iTunes stole the mp3 convertor away from DP, hence it was not available. Also, I have had so many problems running DP 10.11 that I have been ...

MP3 Export suddenly not working

Trying to export a soundbite using the DP 10 export function and program cannot find L.A.M.E. mp3 exporter. Just cannot figure out what could have changes with my setup to cause this to happen. It has worked flawlessly for many, many years. Now it doesn't.

Upgrade to DP 10.01 coming soon...

Just heard from Matt at MOTU: "We will be coming out with an update very soon. I don't have a specific date for you, but if I can make a guess, it will be at the end of the month? Again, sometime very soon. From what I've heard, it will have a plethora of bug fixes, optimizations, and features ...

Aggravating Window view problem

I don't even know if this is a Apple OS problem or just an thing that can be adjusted to not happen. P: Everytime I go from the Tracks view to the Sequence view and back I have to use the mouse to grab a window corner somewhere to reopen the screen so I can see what tracks I'm working with. The trac...

Re: Need Help debugging Bounce to Disk Freeze

"Do you have DP and your project on an SSD? It should also be your boot drive. Whatever reasons you have for not doing it that way no longer matter and DP 10 is showing you why. Your streaming libraries can be on another drive but it, too, needs to be an SSD for best performance." Mike, my...

Need Help debugging Bounce to Disk Freeze

It seems everytime I try bouncing to disk, DP 10.01 freezes, then goes, then freezes, then goes... the beachball is turning... and eventually the bounce completes. I don't know why this is happening, I usually bounce to the soundbytes window where I do another editing on the sound file. I tried star...

Re: DP 10.1 wiper snaps to grid - Bounce freezing

Rodney, What type of hard drive were you using? Maybe some type of preference on that drive that Mojove incorporated. My DP app is on one SSD, the Project is on another SSD. If I move the project to a regular mechanical hard drive, I'm wondering if that will solve the problem. Or do I need to bounce...

Re: DP 10.1 wiper snaps to grid - Bounce freezing

Okay, almost immediately upon posting this I found the easy solution was to hold control down while scrolling the wiper. This deactivates the snap to grid. Okay now just have to figure out what is causing the bounce to disk to freeze, then finish... just does not make sense.

Re: More Mojave upgrade problems.... with Apogee

Just wanted to report that once I did get my old 2008 MacPro back from the tech, I was able to hook up my old 10.6.8 OS and upgrade the firmware on my Apogee on the first try. I used a short USB cord since I wanted to eliminate all possible problems. Prior to that I had tried upgraded via the 15 foo...

DP 10.1 wiper snaps to grid - Bounce freezing

I upgraded from 9.5.1 yesterday, opened a file I was working on and found this to be true... the wiper in the tracks window does not allow me to position where I want to on the track, it always snaps to the nearest grid line. So i tried to fix by reading the manual and could not find the place to co...

More Mojave upgrade problems.... with Apogee

Well, I finally did get Mojave up and running, my iTunes app is also running on the 1 TB boot drive, and even DP 9.5.1; however my Apogee Symphony needs a firmware upgrade and the new software, version 5.4 of Maestro needs to be installed to run under Mojave. The PROBLEM is that Apogee never upgrade...

Re: Can I run DP 9.5 in Mojave?

Hmmm... I don't know Mike, but I appreciate your response and taking the time to respond. I tried calling MOTU but have been on hold now for 30 minutes. I'm just trying to head off hours of problems since I will be installing Mojave on a new SSD tomorrow and just need to know if I should also consid...
