Back the snack up boys!
Anyone, who says DP 4 is easy to use is...well...on crack. Not that it is impossible to use, but compared to Reason, Garageband, or any other sequencer I have used it has a HIGH learning curve. Granted it is VERY stable and extremely powerful, but it's interface takes a bit of getting used to. It has a lot of windows that handle a myriad of different options, this alone makes learning DP4 a bit daunting. All that said, I like DP 4 quite a bit, after several hours of figuring out how things work. It has never crashed, has great AU support, works with every other DAW I have and has some great built-in effects. But if you are using something truely simple like Garageband & are making the leap to DP4 it can be difficult without proper training. I just don't want people thinking that DP 4 is super easy and that using it is second nature, because it isn't. -------------------- Ableton Live 4.1
