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 |

I heard from someone who *should* know only a week ago that DPX was "months" away from release. And from the confident tone in his voice, I'm imagining he meant it. 2 or 3 - minus 1 week. judging from that, 25 days seems a little optomistic.
But... I could be wrong. Are you upgrading form anything else? their competitive upgrade is really good. |
