Re: Assembling MIDI tracks from multiple takes

Multiple MIDI-only tracks addressing the same MIDI destination is what I typically do. Erase unneeded MIDI data, keeping the good parts from each track while watching out for CC overlap issues (you know, like that hanging sustain caused by an unrequited cc64...) Once everything is working right, MID...

Re: Changing Velocity with by holding down "V" and dragging mouse!

While we are here... I am very happy doing all my editing in the SE, with occasional forays to the Tracks window.

So, why should I bother with the MIDI Editor window? Any compelling reasons?

Re: Changing Velocity with by holding down "V" and dragging mouse!

I do all my editing, MIDI and Audio, in the Sequence Editor and Tracks windows and never use the MIDI Editor. The "V" trick works on MIDI in the SE, too. I love it... a really great way to visualize and adjust dynamics. Gets a lot of use when working on MIDI drums, for example, "let's...

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.

Re: Things Missing in DP for a Long Time

Not for a long time, but Atmos. I'm expecting it to be integrated into the next DP upgrade.

Re: 14.4.1

Ventura to Sonoma?

But why? I'm running pretty smoothly under Ventura, and don't see anything but more troubles under Sonoma. I use Kontakt a lot, and that alone is reason enough to hang tight at present.

Re: New Mac Pro and PCIe card compatability

Hope it works well for you! You may want to consider which version of macOS you run with. There may be a more optimal OS than Mojave for DAW/DP use. IIRC, there were some issue in Mojave that were never addressed. It has been a couple of years for me, so my memory is foggy in this regard. Perhaps ot...

Re: New Mac Pro and PCIe card compatability

Thank you. I appreciate all of your constructive comments. Have some thinking and research to do. This is a good time to rethink my work flow... If you lived closer (I'm west coast) I'd let you borrow my 3.33 5,1 12 core to see if it would be a viable interim solution. Anyway, good luck getting it ...

Re: New Mac Pro and PCIe card compatability

The 24 Ai and Ao offerings may indeed be better with their ESS Sabre32™ converters, however the 24io has 24 inputs AND 24 outputs. This requires buying two units (1-24 Ai and 1-Ao) to have the same I/O as the 24io. Further, the "equivalent replacement" (828) for the 2408 Mk III has one le...

Re: Axiom-61 (M-Audio) not showing up in Mac Audio MIDI Setup

HC Markus has an Axiom and I know he is using it on his M1 Ultra Mac Studio without issue so hopefully he can chime in. I have James' old Axiom 49. I plugged it into a USB 2.0 powered hub with a USB cable and it worked perfectly with my Mac Studio and DP under Monterey and Ventura. I never looked a...
