Re: Get into the music business
The music business was good to me for many years. Post Covid, not so much. Guess I should have had one of those bags.

Re: The Longest, Most Inconsistently-Off-Topic Thread in History
So, Mr. Man - or can I call you Monkey. Did you really think we would forget this thread. No way. When you say, "Longest" we take that seriously.
No, seriously.

Re: Inconsistent Results With Tempo Mapping
...I think it still works best by tapping out a beat on something like a hihat sample on a separate track. That takes the time of the song duration and can save a load of time in adjusting the tempo afterwards. I agree. This is my go to method for mapping, as the efficacy of beat recognition is hit...

Re: Meter bridge VS Mixer meters
My understanding has always been that the scale in the mixer is for the fader and not for the level bar graph. I could be wrong. Or maybe the discrepancy has to do with panning and pan law stuff. I don't know. All I know is I never use the bar graph in the mixer if I'm looking for numbers. I use the...

Re: Motu 828es Phase Issues
Dear Phil, thank you for your reply. As stated earlier, I am not concerned with microphone placement. Whether the problem is relevant or not, is a matter of what you use the interface for. I am just trying to understand whether this is a fault in my unit or a design flaw. Sorry, I didn't mean to co...

Re: Motu 828es Phase Issues
I would be inclined to ignore it except in a situation where that type of precision was absolutely needed (essentially never in my work). One sample at 48K works out to be about .28 inches (using 1120 ft/sec as speed of sound). Try moving one mic a quarter of an inch in a coincidence pair and see if...

Re: System Audio Recorder
There's the hardware option as well. You could invest in a cheap audio interface (or if you have an older unit kicking around). Select the device as system output and run patch cables from output to input. Then record input in DP. I used this method for a while after giving up on buggy software opti...

Re: Optimum Mastering Peak Level?
I can't tell you what is optimum, but I can say that -0.1 dB is most likely too high. The reason for this is that the Masterworks limiter probably indicates digital values exactly, whereas during D/A conversion the analog signal can go above that. For an explanation of this do some research on "...

Re: Schitt DACs
For years my primary interface was an Apogee Rosetta 800. It was their flagship model for some time. It's a firewire device using Apple's firewire driver, which has been removed from current Mac OS. So, my older trash can Mac is still used for tracking with the Apogee and a Lynx Aurora, but I was lo...

Re: Custom key commands - a cautionary tale
Quite a few years back I recall having a keyboard player in the studio and having the same (or similar) problem. I can't remember if it was F#3 but I do remember it was an F#. I screwed around for a while and finally called MOTU. The person I spoke to immediately knew the problem and told me that a ...

Re: Digital Performer 11.3 released!
I know what they're talking about though. I've had that happen where I changed it to open with the latest DP version by default and it didn't "stick." Another thing you could try is control-clicking the DP document and selecting "Open With" from the pop-up. Once opened and saved...
