Yeah it's another beta. I haven't installed it yet, and when I turn off beta updates it disappears and says my beta is up to date.

Re: View filters and track folders

Oh and show/hide disabled tracks is a good suggestion for MOTU, might as well hit em up!

I still want a lock for Track settings for each edit window as well.

Re: View filters and track folders

One trick you that might help is to mute tracks that you've disabled then you can use the play enable state to filter out whatever tracks are muted. One advantage of the universal Solo button here is not having to reset it to bounce around this way, at least until you're in the mix stage. obviously ...

Re: View filters and track folders

when you say enabled I'm thinking you mean literally whether the track Instruments and FX are turned off or not, not the record enable state or whether the track is muted. There is no command to show only (CPU) enabled tracks that I know of.

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

I’ll have to try Hybrid as VST2. AU and VST3 were a fail in DP (although each format works in Logic and Cubase respectively). Hopefully they’ll sort it out. I have noticed DP seems much more picky about which plugs it will validate than other DAWs. It is, I've got too many DAWs here and DP is easil...

Re: The Future of Digital Performer

All of the Air betas do not load as VST3 and Hybrid doesn't load as AU as well so VST2 only right now. Still I'm pleasantly surprised, I thought these were all depreciated. Hopefully a GUI refresh is next. FWIW, Xpand2! is working okay for me. I was also able to open Hybrid VST3 inside Komplete Kon...

Re: Logic Pro 11 coming May 13

Stem splitting is a cool idea, but personally there's only a few that will do it for guitar, and that's currently what I need. The funniest part in a Schadenfreude way is iZotope only really had ARA support for Logic, it's currently only working in Rosetta on Apple Silicon, but then they announce a ...

Re: Simple way to play .caf files (Apple Loops) inside DP11?

I have not used either GarageBand or Logic Pro or Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro for a very long time. I thought it would be nice to see if I could get them to play inside DP11. Is there a simple method to play .caf files (Apple Loops) inside DP11? Caf Files will automatically convert to WAV or AIF...

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

1. I wish you could indeed "LOCK" the mixer window track selector and have it be independent of the tracks window. Hi Chris, You can. Go to Settings>Edit Windows>Track Selector Button> and choose: "Always opens the edit window's track selector" Now the little track selector butt...

Re: Beachballs on the reg

I would not upgrade to Sonoma until at least version 14.5 is out.

The firs place to look is always plugins IMO, if you can handle it, disable all your plugins in the Preferences/Plugins menu, make a copy of your current set first though.

After that if it doesn't work it's drivers.

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

This is an ongoing issue that I’ve never solved: I’m in Track View. I mouse-select several audio tracks. I hit Shift-M to open Mixer (floating window). It shows the PREVIOUS mixer configuration, NOT the tracks I just hightlighted. Seems like it has a ‘memory’ as to my previous mix. If I then close ...

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

I went ahead and downloaded this to test. It shortens notes randomly with all piano plugins here, EW, NI, IK, and Arturia which is a virtual instrument from what I know, It does not shorten any synthesizer plugin I throw at it. Side note, if you hold down the Sustain peddle it doesn't shorten the n...
