Hello,
I'm just getting started with Digital Performer on Mac OSX. I have noticed it's a bit buggy here and there. It has quit a few times out of the blue which is unusual now-a-days with the more sturdy OS, and it has trouble with my multiple monitor setup. For instance, pull down menu's for patch lists appear on one screen when I try to access them from another. I've read a lot about Logic. It appears to be the industry favorite and wonder if it's worth investing my money in or should I just stick with DP4... bugs and all. I also can't stand MOTU's slow development/product support - it has to be the worst in the industry. The one thing about Logic however is that it doesn't appear as elegant as DP4's interface. I wonder now that Apple owns the company if they will re-do the interface so it becomes more Mac like/friendly? eMedia. |

Your description doesnt quite sound like bugs in DP to me, it might have to do with your computer and OS X. ( I'm by no means sure )
Creativity and work flow are much more important than a particular piece of technology. Use what you feel comfortable with. If you work with both midi & audio in DP4, check that you haven't recorded any midi-exclusives in your midi-tracks. If so - remove them. ( has cleared up my midi-related problems in DP4 ) All major DAW:s on Mac OS X, Logic, Cubase DP, ProTools, Ableton etc -- have had their share of problems during this transitition to Mac OS X. ( check the various forums on the web ) The fact that Apple has has bought up Emagic does not automatically transfer any magic inside knowledge from Apple to Emagic. Remember Opcode:s Vision & Studio Vision sequencers -- a couple of the best products of their time. Gibson bought them, nuked the development of Vision & OMS, dragged several of the former Vision employees to court, put one of them into the loony bin. ( by this example I DONT mean to imply that Apple will use Gibsons tactics/methods ) Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
