I started on my DP8 install yesterday... working from scratch on my new MacFaux 2010. Wait a minute! I think MacFaux may be a GREAT monikker for the Hackintosh set, but FYI, mine's a real 2009 that just thinks its a 2010. Anyway, DP went in great, but all the plugs and VI's are gonna' take a while. Good think ye old G5 is still pumping out the audio!

Can anyone confirm if that new analog delay emulator does NOT include a sync to DAW tempo with note values (i.e. 1/4, 1/8, 1/8 dot etc)?

Got mine today. Having a problem importing a movie. Anyone else? I get audio, no picture, and when I start poking around DP8 hangs. Movie imports just fine in DP7, so I must be missing something here...

Does anyone use 10.7.X?


Dan
10.7.4 on the Mac Pro1,1. See my results of running DP8 in 64-bit mode on a 32-bit kernel cpu on page 10 of this thread.

I haven't run into any issues with DP 8 in Lion.

Wow, I was so excited to get DP8, installed it today. Well now I'm not so excited :( In 64 bit mode most of my plug-ins and VI's don't show up. I know a lot of of them are not 64 bit, but it would of been nice if MOTU could of figured out a way to run both 32 & 64 bit at the same time.

Now when I opened DP in 64 bit mode, things so far are working pretty well and you can load tons of VI's and samples! But in 32 bit mode it crashed 3 times before it even opend up for the first time. Also DP 8 is a bit touchy (32 bit) when doing small tasks as it crashed several times :?

Hope things get better!

Too bad it can't run Mountain Lion without turning it into a Hackintosh though, and that ram is crazy expensive for these old machines :/

a couple of things.

- where is audiounitcache located? i can't find it in either preference folder.
- does anyone know when UAD will work in 64-bit mode? i checked their site and downloaded the latest drivers. the site says they are now 64-bit compliant but they don't show up.
- how are people finding DP in mt. lion? i'm still on snow leopard. i have a 2x2.8 quad core xeon with 12g ram.

thanks all! i'm about to start mixing a project. will report back on how it's going.

Installed DP8 last week. Issues: UAD plugs work only in 32 bit.
Saved user settings in MOTU audio plugs erased. I referred to older mixes to re-save my settings.
would not export audio files as mp3. Download LAME pac and add another file from this forum to correct.
