Motu Digital Performer How to use MOTU Digital Performer for live performance?
I want to use DP 5.13 on a MBP for live performance. I have years of sequencing experience but it's primarily with Sonar/Cakewalk.
I recently switched to DP and I don't understand the hierarchy of chunks, sequences, songs and vracks and want to set up a set list scenario where I can quickly change from song to song or jump around on the set list.
I've run into some problems with a Mac recently, I had to downgrade 10.4 OS X to 10.3 & it was working fine up until I tried to install the driver for a recording interface "Motu 2408mk" used with Digital Performer, I get the following drive is missing "1008:5,-35 Drive" I've found a couple sites that explain the same problem I'm having except with different programs but they have no solution. Could anyone please explain what I should do? I need to get this fixed ASAP....
Well I dont know how much help this will be to you but I found this from http://en.440forums.com/forums/?showtopic=31823
I believe you might need both for an Intel based machine. Get Universal Audio Driver and MOTU FireWire Drivers and Console. This should give you the necessary suite for the 828 (original). Install the FW drivers first, thenthe universal audio drivers to bring the required pieces up to date. If they are all installed correctly and recognized by the system, the Audio Console should launch as soon as your 828 is connected and powered on.
Along with that information i also found the following found here - http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9720
This install provides compatibility updates for iMac Intel Core Duo, Tiger OSX 10.4x, and is compatible with OSX versions back to Panther 10.3.0. Version also contains maintenance firmware updates for the Traveler.

I might be posting things you've already researched sorry about that but you were correct that the sites have people with the same problems but not much of a solution. Best of luck with this.
