Since I'm working in 32-bit mode, anyway, I might try installing an older version of Channel Strip 2 that I know worked okay in the past and see if that runs in DP 8. DP 9 might have resolved a lot of the problems you're having. Your problems with VST may just have something to do with DP itself, which only started implementing VST as of v8. Mostly, though, the AU plugs seem to run fine. Some older AU plugs seem to have a real problem with DP (the main one for me is MH Channel Strip 2, which cuts off the audio of whatever track I load it on), and a couple you may have to reinstall to get to work. FYI: for a while after Gibson bought out Opcode, they actually provided an unlocked download-only version of Vision and StudioVision for download that was just the program for registered owners of the software (meaning, you had to have a full install of Vision or StudioVision already on your machine in order to have Acadias or their included free plugs), in case something went wrong and you needed to drop a fresh copy of the program onto your hard drive.Ĭlick to expand.Having just installed Lion/DP 8.0.2 on my machine, I was able to run it in 64-bit mode with AU plugs, but it seemed a little glitchy - my machine's pretty old and not anywhere near as fast as I'd like - so I switched over to 32-bit mode and seems to be running fine (though it doesn't bode well for me running Pro Tools 10). On the other hand, I don't miss having to switch between MAS and Acadias, or OMS and FreeMIDI, just to use two different DAWs on the same computer. It had a great sound engine and still some of the best audio editing controls I've ever seen. I never understood why Gibson killed Vision/Studio Vision (also, OMS). Other than the processor quandry, there were a lot of great things I could do with that software that somehow seem a lot more difficult now. Mixing down one four-minute song to a 48 kHz/24-bit master takes almost 45 minutes. The G3 is so slow, I actually had to mix all my "room reverb" instruments down to two tracks, port it into a second Vision project and mix in all my "hall reverb" instruments to two tracks, then port that into a third (and sometimes fourth) project file to mix in vocals. Note to Juhn1024: Running DP 8 on Windows check here: Ĭlick to expand.I'm in the process of trying to port an album project over to my MacBook, so I still have a G3 iBook running 9.2.2 with DP 3, Vision DSP, Peak 4, Waves 4 (?) and a bunch of old VST plugs they no longer make sitting around. If you go to MOTU Nation you will see that there are a lot of people who have made the transition to DP 8 and are running AU's and VST's with no problems, even switching between the two. Then I would add an AU plug-in one-by-one, or you could try 3 at a time (just some random number I picked) and see which plug-in is crashing DP 8 on you. Try running DP 8 without any of your 3rd party plug-ins, run only with MOTU's MAS plug-ins and see what happens. I would guess, without knowing what or how many plug-ins and versions you're running, that you more than likely have a plug-in that is in conflict with DP 8. I can confirm the same results going back to DP 8.0. Click to expand.I'm running DP 8.05 on OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and set it up as 32 bit + AU's and have never experienced any crashes to date.
