Hi all,

Sorry to bump this thread but, as it seems now that DP8 for Windows will be available next spring, I am really becoming interested about it, as Cubase 7 is a true frustration...

So, just wanted to know, from already DP licence owners if the following Cubase equivalent features are already available in DP7 (or will be in DP8), as the manuals are not accessible online :

- A 'Retrospective record' feature, which allows you to retrieve a fair amount of MIDI events played, even if you haven't hit previously the 'Record' button,
- An 'Input transformer' equivalent, which allows you to shift incoming MIDI data in real time, by doing math/logical operations on it,
- A 'Musical/Linear' timebase switch : truely useful to set the tempo of a freely recorded improvisation,
- 'Generic remote' equivalent, allowing you set MIDI CC messages as host and/or plug-ins controllers,
- A VST integration of external instruments,
- Customizable key commands,
- Input tracks, allowing you to apply effects as inserts to the signal recorded.

The first four ones are the main reasons for sticking to Cubase since several years. So, they are close to mandatory for me.

Thanks for any information... :)

I'm excited about this finally being released. You have no idea.

I don't need a new host, but I used to use DP8 for some things, and it holds a special place in my heart, lol. You know I'm going to try it, and then figure out how in the heck to afford it.

If you were ever a registered DP user you qualify for the $195 upgrade,if not MOTU also has crossgrade pricing (not sure of the price)if you're a registered user of another qualifying DAW.

I'll have to go for the crossgrade upgrade if I do end up trying to get it. That's $395. Still better than $500, but still.

When I used DP in the past, it was in a studio that I did work in. The copy was not my personal copy, but a studio copy. So I don't have it to upgrade from, unfortunately.

WOW, demos! That's actually REALLY cool. Er, I'm going to exhaust what I have first but that is a really big deal!
