Re: Motu 896 mk3 hybrid - bypassing the mic pre's

The statement is correct as it is with any interface using CombiJacks or equivalent. The 896mk3 analog inputs are flexible XLR/TRS "combo" jacks that accept a microphone, guitar, synth or other -10/+4 line level input source. … Setting up for -10/+4 is covered in the manual. [url]chrome-ex...

Re: Intel Mac Pro- should I jump straight from Monterey to Sonoma?

It depends on your plug-ins and certain other apps. Kontakt has issues with Sonoma on the M2/M3 Macs that should be resolved in the next macoS 14.5 release. It doesn't appear to be an issue with the M1 but I have no idea about Intel—I'm guessing it's ok but you should test. Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 an...

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

Based on this, would you think it safe to update to 14.4.1 until 14.5 official is available (I'm still on 14.4 on my production machine)? Yes. I haven't found any other issues with Beta 3 — and I have been looking. Apple and NI both now know that the issue is a communication layer bug introduced in...

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

Looks like OS 14.5 beta 3 has dropped. and we are back to no more Kontakt crashes, fingers crossed. I just did the update and found the same thing: No crashes in DP, Logic or external monitors. The GUI window flickers on my external monitors but again, no crashes even when I change libraries in a s...

Re: Cursor Hand Goes Missing

Yet another AS problem? Not happening here. I’m sure it’s not. Until the OP posted I thought I was the only one that had the problem. And I still may be the only user for whom it happens consistently. Yes, I’m on an AS Mac, but since it’s such an isolated issue, categorizing it as an “AS problem” w...

Re: SpectraLayers 10 is a life saver, for legacy projects

Interesting, RipX is not one that I had yet heard mentioned anywhere else! RipX is big in hip-hop which is all I know about it. Otherwise, I've been playing with SpectraLayers Pro 10, Simple Stems 2, the Stem Focus (Ozone 11 & Advanced), Master Rebalance (Ozone 10) and Music Rebalance (RX 10 &a...

Re: The free VI's/plugs list.

I could have saved a lot of time if I knew the download only works with Native Access 2. And Native Access 2 doesn't work with Mojave. Rant over
Sorry. I try. I don’t have an Intel system anymore so wasn’t aware of those issues.
Native Access 2 requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later.

Well, the crashing doesn't happen every time for me but the latency is intolerable. Sending more reports to NI and Apple.

Re: An interesting option as a 2nd monitor.

Interesting… Thanks for the heads up! I see them on Amazon from $540 to $647... nothing wrong with that. I would lose the post that bolts to the desk but that's ok, LG monitors are ridiculously easy to use with VESA stands, some as low as $30 or so on Amazon — freed up a lot of desk space when I lea...

I had that happen yesterday. Rebooting my Mac made it come back.

None of this is working well for me. ... (Macbook Pro m2 Max/ 4tb ssd/ 96GB ram/ Sonoma 14.5 beta/ DP 11.31) macOS Public Beta 14.5 (2) dropped this evening.

Re: Problem when using an 828mk2 as ADAT expander (standalone) - only 4 channels work

Ok, so the Traveler MKIII is receiving ADAT on all channels, from the Behringer, so I assume the first four channels on the 828mkII are just broken somehow ... Safe bet. You can’t make it worse by going in as I suggested. OTOH, you can probably get a few bucks selling it on eBay for parts. IIRC, th...
