I have a PowerMac G4 867 Dual Processor running with 1.25Gigs of DDR RAM.
i have a great offer on Digital Performer and it comes one in a lifetime. the thing is, i'm gonna spend quite a hefty sum on it and i really need to know if getting the software now is advisable or not. i'm aware that it does not support Mac OS X, but i have OS 9.2.2, so it really isn't a problem. is just don't really want to get this software and then after a few months MOTU comes up with a better software sequencer. just like when i bought my Mac, 2 months later a higher processor comes out. is it a good to go for the plunge? what other things should i look out for? currently, when i get the software, i'll use the mac line-ins until i recover slightly financially and get a outboard unit. thanx for helping... gabe |

Can you hold out until the end of this month before you buy? I ask this because MOTU is supposed to release DP4 (osX compatible) very soon. Otherwise, DP3 is still an excellent investment. It's completely up to date technology-wise and will be for quite awhile. My only concern would be that in a couple of years we probably will observe a decline in os9-compatible plug-ins, as everything will have moved to osX. DP4, from what I've read, isn't a significant upgrade aside from the fact that it runs on osX and supports AU, but there could be other major new features that haven't yet been advertised.
