Re: Plug-in Updates Sticky Topic

I have a license so I suppose I should try it—would be nice if Audio Hijack wasn't a complicated waste of time in my work. OK I'm curious, why is that? I use it for two reasons, to capture audio from any application on my Mac, and to host ARC so I don't have to worry about turning it off when mixin...

Re: VST2 & VST3

Hey Guys: The thread has gone off in another direction - more Apple/Mac oriented - and I'm a Windows 10 guy. So, I thought I would start again. I can find no way to get both VST2's and VST3's to work together. With all your helpful advice, I'm getting nowhere. Each time, I make any change in the Pr...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

Hey one thing I'm curious about is how you got the Applications fro 2.72 and 2.9 in the same machine? or is it just that the Komplete Kontrol AU plugin for 2.7.2 can use the back end of the 2.9 KK application and runs in Rosetta natively? Currently I have the latest 3.2.1 AU and VST 3 and the 2.9.4 ...

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

Understanding that recent Mac purchasers may have no choice but Sonoma, the current angst reminds me the "lag one version of macOS" strategy is still good one whoever possible. Current issues has me making sure to hang onto K6, too, although K7 is working fine for me. Yeah it's been years...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

...but I think going forward my strategy is AU and VST3 for plugins like Blue Arp, Reason Rack, MPC, Melodyne obviously etc. That's what I've been doing for a while now: using primary AU and then VST3 for Melodyne obviously, and also VST3 for Console 1 since VST3 is the required format in DP to sup...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

Seems many developers now are releasing only in AU, VST3 and AAX... all UB2. I guess VST2 will be with us for a while, but maybe after more developers get the hang of it, VST2 will go away except for legacy plugs. I wonder why Steinberg's APK and documentation (from everything I heard) is so horren...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

Follow up to my previous post: I just checked and if DP 11.31 is launched natively, the Audio Plug-in prefs won't even show me Intel-only VST2s as an option. I cannot even see them unless I launch DP in Rosetta. You are on Apple Silicon, I'm pretty sure. Any chance the "Launch in Rosetta"...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

Michael: Thank you! This is a bunch of options I wasn't aware of. As I'm writing this, I'm firing up DP and going to Preferences/Audio Plug-ins/Set. For reasons I don't understand, I've got odd options: Enable All.2, Enable All.2.2, Enable All.2.2.2. (I didn't invent theses on purpose.)So, I'm opti...

Re: VST examination failed

Thanks! Yep, I confirm that I have the last version of each plugins :wink: I guess the only thing left is to notify MOTU and the plugin developer. U-He started off as an AU only plugin developer, and they had a bug that was specific to DP in their AU plugin for Diva preventing it from passing valid...

Re: VST2 & VST3

My conflict with this VST2/VST3 situation is not being able to use both in the same project. You 100% can use AU, VST2 and VST3 in the same project. I cannot be the only guy who sees how cumbersome and annoying it is to have to keep going into my preferences to change my primary. And there are a lo...

Re: MOTU MIDI TimePiece AV USB and macOS Monterey

I bought an old Unitor 8 as a backup. I'm a little worried about the longevity of the drivers for the MTP/AV because they in fact haven't supported the AV for years now. On the other hand very recently Apple updated the drivers for the Unitor 8. Plus a while ago some OS update hosed the MTP/AV for a...

Re: VST examination failed

slightly off topic but I'm really really hoping DP adopts CLAP the new universal plugin format. VST3 has been a huge issue for everyone for 15 years now and there is little to no documentation for hosting VST in general, everyonw is winging it. , DP isn't the only DAW with issues, but I think they'...

Re: Falcon/Mach5 content

Thanks, that solves that issue! I don't know how I was supposed to know that- did MOTU notify registered MachFive Users? I've been running Falcon, DP and MainStage in Rosetta just to use my old MachFive content. Forward! It was pretty random for sure. Love MOTU, but they still have a freakng MachFi...

Re: VST examination failed

Mike I'm pretty sure meant VST2 versions if they exist, sometimes it's the VST3 version that fails, but VST2 still works. Another thing to try is to reexamine the failed plugins, At least here on Mac OS occasionally DP plugin examination fails some VSTs the first time through, but will subsequently...
