hey, how is that dual 533 anyway? i am thinking about buying one in a month or three, along with DP 3.0 and some MOTU cards or nuendo MAC version when its out (= never)and a hammerfall.

glad you worked it out..your question was way over my head..and cpu.. G4 single

Natan I am not sure and motu isn't really sure about these machines either,from the conversations I have had with them.I can tell you this I have been using DP for a relatively long while on a number of different macs and this has been the toughest to get stable.But with 3.0 around the corner and a few growing pains this should be a great daw.Just remember it is a place where your audio+midi is stored for working on and don't try and make it do more than it can(200 plugs,500edits,89 tracks ect ect...)and it should be the host based system we have been waiting for.

im with you. the computer is just another (albeit a powerful) weapon in my audio arsenal.

ive just set my sights on that dual 533 and im hoping DP3 will milk it for all its worth.

thanks,

On some drives, there may be a jumper setting for different bus speeds- not sure, but worth checking.

I have the dual 533 and am having problems as well. Usaully this occurs with the pop down menus. I've queried the motu-mac forum for anyone who has a stable system. I'll let you people know if anything good comes up.

Alun-- let us know what you find out, wouldja? I need to build a pair of new DP rigs from the ground up, and don't know what the "best" new Mac is for that purpose. Been hearing flaky stuff about the dual 533's from several quarters...

anyways, please post your findings.

:)

Reduce disk cache to 4022
512 meg ram
Buffer 1024
80000 ram setting to DP
screen resolution 800 by
6 Gig partitions on dedicated drive
Motu midi interface only(a must on this machine)
Base plus motu only exst(no oms)
This config has been going 5 days maybe 300 plus tracks without a crash on dual 533 if ANY one of the above is touched capooee....
Alun drop down menu thing is ram, either not enough in machine or not enough allocated to DP do you get error type 2 or 3 this is a motu memory error, if this dosn't help try trashing your DP preffs.

Is that the USB or serial version? (which model)

Cheers

This machine is usb.You can use a griffin serial port card but this would meen more device issues.When I said motu only I was addressing the no oms issue and this was only done by trial and error you may find a work around but the above config is still running stable.

Well, I'm still having problems. I've tried using 2.71, 2.72, Freemidi 1.44, 1.45 and combinations of all. Given Performer more memory. I have tons or ram(640). I have had problems with installing the system software as well. Something about morsels. I could have a buggy machine. There are people on the motu-mac forum who have the same machine and are really stable. Go figure. If I can't get it to be stable when 3.0 comes out, there will be serious depression.

I would reinstall your os but before you do take out any ram that was not factory installed then when you get it back up install only the latest versions of DP & Free midi get it to open up and close at this point add back in your ram one stick at a time and each time you add a ram stick open DP to see how it works I think you will find the culpret a bad ram stick.You also might want to format the HD with this morsel thing goin on if you have to do a low level format.
Good Luck

hi everyone i'm a new member just thought i would bump this old topic as i am running a dual processor 533 with 1.1 gig or ram and am seriously considering purchase of dp3.X .
is the 533 mhz a dud with dp or has the issues that the BT DP the origonal poster and others had been sorted out with the release of dp 3 .
I would really like to know as the combination of dp 3 and a 828 looks pretty deadly but no ones hard to sort bugs in DAW .
thanks any replies appreciatted .
