Using DP to record live performances and/or Autotune live vocals

[Kenny B]

I am wondering if it is okay to load up DP on my MacBook (2019) which runs the latest Mac OS and use it to record live performances. I thought at one time it is okay to have another copy of DP loaded up and useable on another computer but not sure anymore.

And, in a separate issue: has anyone used DP with Autotune loaded up on a laptop to run Autotune on live vocalist with their monitor mix not using Autotune. There is a video on how to set this up on a Behringer x32 but using another DAW and Waves tune.

You are allowed two installations of DP but not in use simultaneously—afik, the license manager has no way of knowing this, however—see below.

The license manager self manages—every installation verifies over the internet the first time it’s launched. A third installation will disable the oldest of the three devices and so on….*

Antares apps including Auto-Tune EFX+ (the version for real time processing of live vocals) do not work over macOS Sonoma at the present time. The plug-ins cannot verify the licenses. This is not an issue over Ventura.

*Performer Lite is different. It verifies the license over the internet every time it is launched.

If Antares doesn't get their act together on Sonoma soon, I'll be giving the Live mode of bx_crispytuner a try.

There are many ways to buy it these days for less than $79.99. One is the 2/3/4 bundle

Another is to do any of their current MEGA Subscriptions that include the plugs you want and let you keep 3/6/10 per year as permanent licenses depending on your level.

I have Antares Duo and also Choir and Auto-Tune Central shows them as "installed" and then the next button over says "Activate" yet I'm pretty sure they ARE indeed activated even though not reflected there. Pretty sure I used them before on Sonoma, but they were originally installed and activated when my machine was on Ventura I think.

Well, I'm trying to reach Anteras now but they are not responding very quickly to a chat. So I have a license for AutoTune 8 Native on my computer. I really don't want to invest big $$$ into situation but want to investigate to see if it can work. Might have to upgrade my Autotune to even get it working. I have not used it for quite awhile.
