Assignments (?) On Digital Performer, assignments Options

[Calmement]

Hello everyone!

I have Digital Performer 6. It was not cracked, not pirated, nothing of that kind.
Perfectly legal. I bought it, in December. Until now, I just opened it one time, understood nothing,
and closed it.

Now, here is the problem:

Today, I tried to use for the first time what the "User's guide" calls "Tutorial 1". So, I opened it. Here is what appeared on the screen, together with the Tutorial itself. It was 2 pop-ups. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to put the screen-captures I did as attached-files to a post, here, so I reproduce the pop-ups word for word:

The first one says:

[i]"Some MIDI assignments could not be found in the current MIDI Configuration.
Make sure that these substitutions arre correct:



MIDI Sources:

Old assignmant: IAC Driver Bus 1

New assignment: Gestionnaire IAC



MIDI Destinations

Old assignment: IAC Driver Bus 1

New assignment: Gestionnaire IAC


Since I didn't know what to answer to that, I clicked OK (down right on the pop-up), and then, appeared this one:

EFFECT ERROR

The following effects could not be found

Roger Nichols Digital: Inspec Master-1 Insert A







And...I understand exactly nothing to what I'm supposed to do!!

I guess that it is necessary to Digital Performer to be told what devices to use, or something like that, but really, if someone could help me, I could "die-as-not-totally-stupid", as we use to say in French..

Thank you reading!

Before start doing anything, you need to set up 'Audio MIDI Setup'.
It's in the Utilities folder in Applications folder.
You must read 'Getting Started' book that comes with the software.
After that you'll be fine.
