MOTU have released Digital Performer v4.5 which is packed full of new features and enhancements including the Consolidated Window, which organizes your computer screen, and the Beat Detection Engine, which performs rhythmic miracles on the feel and tempo of your audio tracks.

Upgrades from previous versions of DP are available for $149 USD.

New features:

  • Beat Detection Engine:
    Digital Performer's new Beat Detection Engine and tempo analysis features give you unprecedented rhythmic and tempo control over your audio, further blurring the line between audio and MIDI data in the most cohesive audio sequencing environment ever devised.
  • Plug-in latency compensation:
    Running under MAS and DAE, Digital Performer's plug-in latency compensation is sample-accurate - for any MAS, Audio Unit, TDM or RTAS plug-in (including virtual instruments). And it's fully automatic. You just load your plug-ins and go. Latency compensation is especially useful for users of hardware-accelerated plug-ins such as the TC Electronic PowerCore and the Universal Audio UAD-1.
  • MasterWorks EQ:
    Inspired by legendary British large console EQs, the MasterWorks EQ gives you the look, feel and sound of the most sought-after classic equalizers.
  • Enhanced Pro Tools support:
    Digital Performer Version 4.5 includes major enhancements for operation as a complete software front end for Pro Tools HD, Accel, and MIX systems.
  • Consolidated Window:
    Many of Digital Performer's powerful features are accessed in separate windows, such as the Track List, Sequence Editor, Mixing Board and Waveform Editor. Digital Performer 4.5's new Consolidated Window is designed for users who would prefer to work in one window, with access to each feature via tabs across the top of the window.
  • Productivity Enhancements:
    • Smooth Audio Edits.
    • QuickScribe Film Cues View.
    • QuickTime movie DV playback offset.
    • Bounce / Export to MP3 and other formats.
    • Preferences and Settings window consolidated.
    • More voices and busses (up to 99 mono voices, 99 stereo voices and 99 stereo busses).
    • Mono, stereo and n-channel busses.
    • More sends (20 per track).
    • Apple Loop import.
    • Many other productivity enhancements.
