How long can you stay mad at a unicorn?
 This ain't yer granny's Digital Performer. Just got it installed and launched once, opened an old, creaky DP 3x project, and it fired right up (after coughing a few times about missing--read: obsolete--OS 9 effects plugz that had been in the session). It played back like a champ. I need to do some audio optimization (buffer, latency optimizations, etc.) because I have different hardware than I was running DP3 with, but overall it's a thing of beauty and grace. Several very nice GUI enhancements have made it even better than it was. It does, by the way, have track "freezing": a sort of virtual (and revertable) "bounce" of a track or tracks, freeing up effects and other resources. Then you can "unfreeze" it to do further adjustments, etc. This is really just a first-impression pre-review. The manual is about the size and mass of a concrete block. (Just kidding--sorta'.) I'm getting cozy with the Quick Start guide at the moment to see what is new and different, and will be gettin' serious with it here over the next day or two. I'll make this a sort of journal thread, with segmented reviews, and will answer whatever questions get thrown at me as I can. Nobody will ever hear this boy sayin' "It was worth the wait," because I've already made my disgust with MOTU manifest over them dragging their horseshoes into OS X-land. But I will say that it seems, on first blush, that they did a thorough job of it. Now I'll see what happens when I crank 'er up to speed...

QUOTE (fugu @ Apr 14 2003, 20:49) hope this helps.. That wuz great, fugu! Thanks much. I've had no call for using the EZBus's control surface features up till now so hadn't really explored it in any depth at all. Currently, though, I'm sorry to report that I have more pressing DP4/EZBus issues in 10.2.5. Since my last report, things took a turn south.    There is a flurry of exchanges in various quarters attempting to isolate the source of the problem and burn it out, but so far no joy. I'll report the outcome when there is one with the specifics. |
