Re: VST2 & VST3

My conflict with this VST2/VST3 situation is not being able to use both in the same project. You 100% can use AU, VST2 and VST3 in the same project. I cannot be the only guy who sees how cumbersome and annoying it is to have to keep going into my preferences to change my primary. And there are a lo...

Re: MOTU MIDI TimePiece AV USB and macOS Monterey

I bought an old Unitor 8 as a backup. I'm a little worried about the longevity of the drivers for the MTP/AV because they in fact haven't supported the AV for years now. On the other hand very recently Apple updated the drivers for the Unitor 8. Plus a while ago some OS update hosed the MTP/AV for a...

Re: VST examination failed

slightly off topic but I'm really really hoping DP adopts CLAP the new universal plugin format. VST3 has been a huge issue for everyone for 15 years now and there is little to no documentation for hosting VST in general, everyonw is winging it. , DP isn't the only DAW with issues, but I think they'...

Re: Falcon/Mach5 content

Thanks, that solves that issue! I don't know how I was supposed to know that- did MOTU notify registered MachFive Users? I've been running Falcon, DP and MainStage in Rosetta just to use my old MachFive content. Forward! It was pretty random for sure. Love MOTU, but they still have a freakng MachFi...

Re: VST examination failed

Mike I'm pretty sure meant VST2 versions if they exist, sometimes it's the VST3 version that fails, but VST2 still works. Another thing to try is to reexamine the failed plugins, At least here on Mac OS occasionally DP plugin examination fails some VSTs the first time through, but will subsequently...

Re: Falcon/Mach5 content

FYI there have been updates to the MachFive content libraries and you no longer have to use Falcon in Rosetta or any other workaround to use them. grab the updates and be free! :arrrr:

Re: 14.4.1

14.4.1 solved most OS level issues, but Kontakt 7 is still being a PITA on many systems, (mostly with dual monitors), as well as Guitar Rig and Komplete Kontrol.

iLok and USB hub issues with peripherals is solved for the most part.

Re: DP11 on M1 — only utilizing using 4 cores?

I'm aware that in Mac OS, one VI will use a single-core. So, to use more cores, load more VIs. I get it. I still think I ought to be able to put 4 or so parts into a VI and it not kill my Studio Ultra M1. My issue with my Mac Studio Ultra M1--is exactly that--hardly any of the performance cores are...

Re: Things Missing in DP for a Long Time

Definitely agree that the Drum editor needs some love. I'm going to say it. Track selection needs some work, if there's any area of DP that can throw you if you start messing with it while learning DP it would be this. It is pretty fast to fix errant selections between edit windows, but it's a prett...

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

Like I mentioned, I'm not laying blame on Apple for this one, this is all NI. There's absolutely no good reason that a bug should appear only with Kontakt, only with more than one monitor attached, only with DP and Reaper, only in M2 and 3, and only in Sonoma. More than likely they tied into somethi...

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

Just for documenting sake, I have two monitors hooked up here, a Slate RavenMTi2 27", and a 4k Samsung 32". Kontakt 7.90 crashes every time with two monitors attached in 14.4.1. This is in both DP11 and Reaper 7. Live, Logic, and Bitwig are doing fine. If I disconnect the 4k Samsung I do n...

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

One thing that changed is M2, M3 are probably using software protection for that security vulnerability that the M1's literally have a hardware protection against, if you recall that article posted here a few days ago. I need to read it again, because I remember the vulnerability as for as apps tha...

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

Hey James, It is a Mac Studio M2 Ultra... Maybe that's the problem? Just curious. I know that one of the issues Sonoma 14.4.1 was supposed to address was a problem with certain iLok protected plug-ins, that oddly enough only happened on M1/M2 Macs. For reasons I sure don’t understand, M1 Macs weren...

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

I guess for now I'm lucky to be on the "older" M1 processor. This stuff seems to be M2/M3 specific still? That said, I'm still up the creek without a paddle with Console 1, DP11 and Sonoma. :( So do you have more than one monitor? Even previous to this latest update I would get a kernel p...
