G5, Digital Performer, and 5.1 Mixing

Hey All,
Is anybody running a setup using a G5, Digital Performer 4.6, and mixing in 5.1? I am trying to figure out what I need to accomplish this. I have the G5 and DP, but I do not have any of the 5.1 equipment that is needed. I should also mention that I use Final Cut Studio as well.
Any insight as to how or what I need would be helpful.
Thanks!

Forget about Digital Performer - How about anybody using a G5 and mixing in 5.1?

  • Digital Performer and Logic Express

    Is there any way to rewire Logic Express (as slave) through Digital Performer (as host)? It doesn't show up in Digital Performer's audio inputs so I'm guessing not...
    Thanks

    How did you try it?

  • Is there any way to transfer Digital Performer Projects to Logic Pro 9?

    I just bought Logic Pro 9 today.  I tried to run a sequence that was recorded in Garage Band and Digital Performer and it looks like the hard drive is too slow to play it all back, although it plays back fine in DP.  I tried to save the DP file as an AAF file but some of the audio files were in the wrong place when I played the Logic version.  I also have tried saving it as an OMF and Logic is still attempting to open it an hour later.  Any ideas on how to get from one to the other without merging/consolidating the files because it appears that Logic is having difficulty playing back the tracks on my Mac Book Pro.

  • DAQ vi to perform digital write and read measurements using 32 bits binary data saved in a file

    Hi
    DAQ vi to perform digital write and read measurements using 32 bits binary data saved in a file
    Two main
    sections:
    1)     
    Perform
    write and read operations to and fro different spread sheet files, such that
    each file have a single row of 32bits different binary data (analogous to 1D
    array) where the left most bit is the MSB. I don’t want to manually enter the
    32 bits binary data, I want the data written or read just by opening a file
    name saves with the intended data.
          2)     
    And
    by using test patterns implemented using the digital pattern generator or  build digital data functions or otherwise, I need to
    ensure that the     
                binary data written to a spreadsheet file or any supported file type
    then through the NI-USB 6509 is same as the data read.
    I’m aware I can’t use the simulated
    device to read data written to any port but if the write part of the vi works I
    ‘m sure the read part will work on the physical device which I’ll buy later.
    My Plan
    of action
    I’ve
    created a basic write/read file task and a write/read DAQ task for NI USB 6509
    and both combine in a while loop to form a progress VI which I’m confuse of how
    to proceed with the implementation.
    My
    greatest problem is to link both together with the correct functions or operators
    such that there are no syntax/execution errors and thus achieve my intended
    result.
    This
    project is one of my many assignments for my master thesis, so please i’ll
    appreciate every help as I’m not really efficient with LabVIEW programming but
    I prefer it because is fun and interesting if I get to know it.
    Currently I’m
    practicing with LabVIEW 8.6/NI DAQmx 8.8 Demo versions and NI USB 6509
    simulated device.
    Please see
    the attached file for my novice progress, thanks in
    advance for the support

    What does your file look like?  The DAQmx write is expecting a single U32 value, not an array of I64.

  • Numa Organ and Digital Performer

    I just got a Studiologic Numa Organ, and I am very pleased with it.
    My Sequencer is Digital Performer 8,1 on Snow Leopard
    My Audio to Midi Setup sees the Numa ONLY if I connect it directly through the USB port to The Mac
    Audio to Midi Setup will also see my MOTU 128 Express interface also when connected through the USB port however I am unable to connect the Keyboard to the Interface as everything is grayout
    If I connect the Numa directly to the USB interface it doesn't appear in Audio to Midi Setup and Digital Performer doesnt Remap the Instruments
    The Numa is set as "Local on / MIDI on"
    While rcording I can see the various notes in the DP track, nowever when I play back the Numa doesn't make any sounds
    Any suggetions?
    PS
    The MOTU USSSB interface is upgraded to the lateset version

    If you're using Apple Loops, they will conform to the project tempo/key.
    If you have a vocal track you wish to autotune, use Logic's "Pitch Correction" tool. Make sure to place it in the first available insert in your channel strip.
    Cheers.

  • Digital Performer 4.61 and MacBook Pro

    Digital Performer 4.61 will not open on my MacBook Pro with Digi002R interface.
    It loads up to tripan.bundle; pauses, then crashes before opening.

    And your question is?

  • Can you perform simultaneous timed digital input and output using a PCI-6120?

    Is it possible to do simultaneous timed digital input and output using a PCI-6120? It seems that timed digital operations require using the group read/write commands, which utilize an entire port. Since the PCI-6120 has only 1 digital I/O port, I would like to be able to use 2 lines as outputs and 1 line as input, and do both in a deterministic fashion. i.e. create a digital signal with known pulse widths and read an input line at a known time after the outputs were set. Is this possible to do with only one digital I/O port?

    Hello,
    This can be done in LabVIEW. There is actually an example that installs with NI-DAQ.
    Below is a link to a Knowledge Base that explains how to find the correlated digital I/O examples.

  • Powerbook (digital audio) and 1/8" jack NOT getting along

    ok see if you can help me troubleshoot this.
    i bought two of these cables:
    <http://www.cablesforless.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2779>
    "Our Custom Made 3.5mm Male to 2-Male 1/4 inch phono plugs audio cables are perfect for connecting your speakers and microphones. These cables feature Belden's 1800B digital XLR cable and Steren® precision machined connectors.

Professional termination using high grade solder ensures optimal signal transmission. Designed for optimal sound quality, Belden's performance speaks for itself. Compare Belden's specifications (below) with those of other digital XLR cables and see for yourself how Belden cable is unmatched. Belden Brilliance® teamed with Steren Connectors brings audio to life!"
    sounds good, right? they both exhibit the following symptoms.
    i'm using it in the headphone jack of my powerbook g4 15" and going out to a little mixer so i can hear system audio, itunes, etc. through my system. this longer cable is replacing a monster cable of the same kind (but shorter).
    i'm getting absolutely HORRIBLE buzz when i plug it into the headphone port. if i jiggle it a bit i can get it to behave but only if it sits just right.
    on a crt imac and an older titanium powerbook G4 the issue is much better. i still hear a line hum. i wouldn't want to record like this, but it's not a nightmare.
    on an ipod plugged into the power adapter it works beautifully. however, i CAN get it to buzz horribly if i jiggle the plug as i insert/remove it.
    eyeballing it with the monster cable tip, it looks exactly the same.
    so on one hand, the monster cable works great in all uses.
    the cablesforless cable works terribly on the powerbook but nowhere else.
    now here's a clue: the powerbook G4 has combination analog/digital input and analog/digital output jacks. i haven't been able to repeat it reliably, but the cablesforless cable seems to be able to trigger the digital interface part, as evidenced by a red light shooting out of the port.
    unplugging the powerbook totally removes the buzz.
    i get the buzz when this cable is in EITHER the input or output jack.
    tried a different power supply in a different jack in the same room... same results both ports (slightly different tone to the buzz)
    if i remove the little mixer and plug the 1/4" cable ends into two inputs on a practice amp, i get the same issue.
    finally, i got another digital audio powerbook g4 15" and the connection seems to be slightly more reliable, but still problematic.

    For starters, EPUB is a profile of XHTML, not HTML5. Further, audio and video support are part of the recently-approved EPUB3, which the release notes for ADE 1.8 explicitly say is not yet fully supported. Specifically, <epub:trigger> will allow you to use audio and video: http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-contentdocs.html#sec-xhtml-epub-trigger
    Do these EPUB files that you're not seeing in ADE pass validation? http://validator.idpf.org/
    Basically, it sounds like you're trying to do things that ADE isn't supposed to support yet, and in a way it is unlikely to ever support (since ADE is known to be pretty conformant to the EPUB standards, it's very likely it will support the EPUB3 version of doing things rather than the hackery I've seen for Apple's reader).

  • Does Apple have any plans on making an Iphone app to control Logic Pro like Motu has done for Digital performer? They make it for free which is a HUGE plus!

    i was wondering if Apple has any intentions on making an Iphone/Ipad app to remotely control Logic like Motu has for Digital performer. Motu has it available for free which is a huge plus but Id be willing to pay for one if Apple came out with one of its own.Im a little mift as to why it hasnt been done, Im sure they are capable of it.

    I've been using Touch.OSC, from Hexler. It is not created by Apple but works like a charm on Logic. I've been using the app for over a year both on my iPad and my iPhone. Check the app on Hexler @ http://hexler.net/software/touchosc. Another app (which I still haven't tried) is lpTouch. You can get more info at http://www.delora.com/delora_products/lptouch/lptouch.html. Both are sold at App Store for $ 4.99. Yeah, it would be cool if Apple included its own iPad/iPhone app to control LogicPro on a future update... but for the stick price of the apps I've mentioned you might have a good 'bang for the buck".

  • Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

    I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster.  But my NEW PE9 just run very slow.  Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete.  Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process.  When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance.  It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip.  Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation.  PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0.  I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
    Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?

  • Syncing Logic with Digital Performer

    Hi,
    Our current set-up is a G5 PPC running Logic 8, with MIDI sent over LAN to a MacPro running Digital Performer. DP runs a host of virtual instruments (MachFive, EZDrummer etc.) with the audio output routed back to Logic. The question we have is how we can get DP to 'see' the tempo of the Logic project - so as we can run tempo related VI's such as Albino. Currently we still run any VI that follows the projects tempo in Logic - but would ultimately like to have DP running every software instrument.
    I imagine that there is a simple MIDI command that we send from Logic to DP that will make DP follow the tempo of the track - I have asked this question on the Digital Performer boards but wanted to ask Logic users what settings I should be using in Logic itself (Midi Beat Clock/SMPTE etc.)
    Thanks
    Jack

    So far, here's what I found.
    1.) iPhone is really made pair with one computer only.
    2.) It seems to treat an iTunes library (meaning anything in there) as one library and even selectively syncing will erase the parts of the library you don't want to sync.
    3.) Best work around seems to be to email yourself the smaller data elements that need to be sync'd to the computer with the complete iTunes library of media. (Export contact cards, backup calendar, export bookmarks... and bring them to the media computer)
    4.) Photos from previously sync'd iPhoto library do stay separate and do not get erased when syncing to another computer.
    At this point, I'm not sure what happens when I add events and contacts via the iPhone. I would ASSUME that when I go resync to the same computer they'll update eachother... But if I've deleted a few contacts and changed things, I hope it knows to give the iPhone priority...
    Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated

  • Use of digital connection and Headphones - is it possibl

    I am extremely happy as I have found that by using the "Flexijack" configured as a digital output and connecting it to my Logitech speakers I have resolved a problem that had developed with my front speakers going missing.
    BUT when I try and use my headset for Skype I get distorted sound. Without the earphones connected the sound is perfect through the speakers. Is there a configuration I can use or I am expecting too much of the system ?
    I have an OEM version of the X-Fi supplied as part of a Dell Dimension 950
    Thanks in advance

    It really runs with APDU buffer of usual Java Cards! Of course it works with the APDU buffer: it's a global array.
    But SIM cards haven't such global array. Does it mean
    that this scenario will not run there?Yes, it won't. As the APDU buffer is a global array (what implies that it is also a temporary JCRE entry point object), you're not able to store the reference in a class attribute or instance variable. So it's not useable for a Toolkit Applet which has been triggerd by an event.
    A work around would be to pass each single primitive data unit to the Shareable Interface Object. But don't ask for performance ;o)

  • Transfer Digital Performer files into Logic Express?

    I have some old recordings that are on a ADAT tape. A friend of mine said he could transfer them to Digital Performer. Does Logic open DP files?
    Paul

    Unfortunately, as was pointed out, Logic Express does not open Digital Performer files.
    Not does it import OMF files, nor Broadcast Wave files, which means you can't export time-stamped waves from DP and import into LE. If you know someone with Logic Pro, it DOES support Broadcast Wave. This could be one work around.
    Otherwise, you'll have two options.
    1) Import the ADAT recordings directly into LE using an interface that supports ADAT In (MOTU 828mkII comes to mind). This will only work if you can re-assign the inputs of the interface to be the first 8, since LE only "sees" the first 12. This is one of the major limitations of LE, and why it's not really suited for "pro" work.
    2) Import into DP, and then bounce the tracks in DP as separate WAVE of AIFF files, then import them directly into LE in the Audio Window. As long as each file starts (and ends, preferably) at the same time (i.e. as set in the DP bounce), you should have no problem aligning the tracks in LE7.
    Number 2 is probably the best solution. Just remember that each of the WAVE files created in DP should begin at the same time (i.e. 0 0 0 0). This will GREATLY simplify the import into LE and make aligning the tracks a painless procedure. You can edit later in LE.
    Hope this helps.
