Re: The Upright from MusicalSampling $69 till June 18.

… Thanks for the link. In one of the demos, I was hearing quite a bit of smallish room in the sound. Are the samples fairly dry? Or were they recorded in a smallish room? I suppose that's one advantage to close-micing is that you don't hear the walls as much. … Based on the first demo, I never woul...

Re: Behringer 369 - Vintage Stereo Compressor Limiter

Not sure what's going on, but when I opened that image in a separate tab, one of the knobs on the image came off, and I could swear I saw smoke coming out from behind. I had to wiggle the jack to get sound out of the right channel. As soon as I closed the tab, everything was ok again. :) :rofl: I o...

Re: Plug-in Sales and Special Deals Sticky Topic

Had never heard of https://www.acasis.com/. Thank you for that lead! Are they driverless, and do they have a solid multi nvme unit? External drives do not require drivers. They do show a couple of multi-NVMe units but are out of stock and promising new redesigned units. The issue with multiple blad...

The Upright from MusicalSampling $69 till June 18.

I have a lot of upright bass VIs and the one thing that most have in common is that I dislike them. This one is different and has a number of legato figures that I’ve already found useful. In addition, it has a selection of noises that you can add—pretty cool. Requires the paid version of Kontakt. h...

Re: Acais drive enclosure sale

… I do wonder how much noise the enclosures with a fan makes? According to their marketing: TBU405 is base version (Tool-free Installation), while TBU405ProM1 (Tool-free Installation + Built-in Silent Fan ) I am thinking about getting another enclosure but am not thrilled by the current price on 8T...

Re: M6 monitoring IN SYNC both click from DP and live kbd

I’m not sure how to answer all of this… Not because I’m new to this (been doing this for over 30 years), but, well… OK… first off, the usual 3-5 milliseconds of latency are totally fine. Otherwise does any of the info I’ve already provided give a clue as to what’s going on, especially the part abou...

Re: Acais drive enclosure sale

Not a plugin sale... but Acasis is running a pretty great sale on drive enclosures (NVMe, etc.). Way better prices than what I paid on Amazon not long ago: https://www.acasis.com/ I have an 8TB blade sitting in one of their TBU405 fanless enclosures. It normally runs slightly warm to the touch whic...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

All of a sudden, without me changing anything, Kontakt 7 (running under DP or standalone) claims that it isn't registered. When I open Native Access, Kontakt isn't listed there. When I enter my serial number, it accepts it, but it still doesn't list it among my products. I haven't changed OSX, DP, ...

Re: More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

I'm going to assume that you've deleted the Fastlane icon, correct? If not, do so and see if it rebuilds and is lighted. If more than one repopulate the space, delete all that are not lighted. I'll spare you the story where that worked. The Fastlane is still a supported interface, I think. If this l...

Re: AudioThing: Things: Fold dynamic wavefolder sale $9

https://www.audiothing.net/effects/things-fold/ The demo cleverly applied it kind of tastefully on different source material. The envelope follower makes it a much more useful thingy. I've been bombarded w/ email about this for a few days, now. A bit of fun, kind of interesting and I spent more tha...

Re: Audio to MIDI

The video shows Melodyne as an option. But in my DP (latest version), the Melodyne is greyed out; just as it is with @wilkinsi. I had recently installed a demo of Melodyne, and it might have caused some issues installing over DP's version of it (?). That's right. I installed Essentials on my laptop...

You are showing the Network Setup. Show us the other picture of the device that includes your keyboard. I have none connected at the moment but it will be something like this.

Re: M6 monitoring IN SYNC both click from DP and live kbd

Hmmmm… ok. It’s a Yamaha S90ES. I guess that leads to another question, though…What could be the difference or why would it matter? Thanks, much. With Yamaha, shouldn't matter. You want to press a key, have the signal go through your M6 through your computer, make a round trip through your DAW then...

Re: Audio to MIDI

DP 11.3 and 11.31 made some improvements in Audio to MIDI functionality that got a major update in DP 11.2. MOTU has videos that can take you through the basics. This one from David Das is pretty good.

Re: More Fastlane/ AMS whackyness

Well this is a little weird. Once again I'm having connectivity issues between my Fastlane and my 15" MacBook Air, Ventura 13.6.6 MOTU MIDI 91217 (latest, reinstalled). Open AMS with Fastlane disconnected - there it is greyed out, as expected. Plug in the Fastlane; the icon lights up, as expec...
