Digital Performer for Windows finally released! with demo!

[machinesworking]

I'm highly tempted to sell some plug ins to pay for DMG audio's Equilibrium.
Brutally expensive, but pretty much the ultimate EQ,

[LawrenceF]

Pick it up in the marketplace. I don't believe it becomes NFR and the transfer is painless.

Nah... I'm good. The EQ's in S1 or Reaper or Cubase or whatever DAW I happen to be using are usually all I need.

The only thing DAW's used to didn't do all that well was compression and reverb, which is why I spent $500 for Altiverb, but even that's pretty good now in the major packages.

DP's reverb for example sounded really good to me on vocals.

TBH, the only thing I ever really use from the Waves bundle is RComp, the Doubler and Supertap. That's about it.

You guys are no fun. I have a house, two cars* two cats** and taxes like you wouldn't believe. And I still buy plugins. Come on guys, you're more talented than I, get with the program.

*The camary is actually my parents, but I pay all the registration and service since I need to keep it here because my main car is a POS

**Technically, they own me

You bet your ass they do!

Lol. But how many $750 mics do you own? That's how much my AT4050 cost me. And $500 for a mono Grace M101 preamp. And $700 for a DBX tube preamp. And $2000 for two channels of Lavry I/O ADDA and $1000 for my Bm5a's and ... well... you get the picture.

I'm not cheap. I just have never really bought into the third party audio plugin market.

Sounds nice!

I believe you get two simultaneous installs, and if I understand correctly, it's "automatic". So if you install to a third machine, it doesn't lock you out, but just deauthorizes the first machine, or something like that.

Ah... yeah. I do recall hearing that back when they first announced DP8, a new licensing scheme, and not quite understanding it.

It seems to imply that you need to be connected to the net (how else would the deauthorized system know that it's been deauthorized?), so I never fully grasped the auto-deauthorizing concept because nobody ever really spoke directly to it or explained it.

Thanks Brent.

After the first Two, the third will check any of the previous two installation as soon you connect to the internet, if you ever will, and deaurthorize that PC. Until then, you will have three PC running it, but it is against the license policy of course.
A nice touch from MOTU, an act of trust if you will.

It was serial only when I used it.

So are the unicornation or whatever it's called these days still jump down your throat if you ask a question?

Beside the reception (not so patient) the tech support was very careful to make it sure I was left with no unanswered questions.
The program is toooo much for my needs but since it was my first ever DAW (v1.0) on a choked Mac, I feel like an emigrant going back home and finds no friends or building were they supposed to be

I try everything. This one though, its a difficult one.

[machinesworking]

I'm in the camp that doesn't believe you can buy your way into good sound with third party EQ's and comps and all that ... so I typically don't bother, and try to focus more on the source, and good mics and preamps.

I'm in the sound design camp. You can of course get by with in house plug ins, (DP's EQ is pretty dammed good actually), but if you want to get into doing things like taking found sounds and making them musical then only a few built in plug ins will do that well.

Most in house stereo mastering limiters are pretty bad IMO, and FX wise a guy who spends months developing a single effect is mostly going to beat in house. That said there are exceptions, Live's in house compressor isn't bad at all, and DP has quite a few real winners.

Less problems for sure using in house. Funny Altiverb is on my list of plug ins to buy.

[machinesworking]

FYI the rumor mill from a good source is that MOTU are releasing a bug fix update today aimed at Windows bugs among other things.

It's probably not going to happen until Monday USA eastern time though.

[machinesworking]

DP 8.03 is out now. Mostly to fix Windows bugs!
Gotta give them credit for responding quickly.
Grab the update and see if it works for you!

[Mario-C.]

DP 8.04 is out.

[crashedthecar]

just downloaded the demo, no crashes. manuel a bit daunting. i know my way around studio on, reaper and ableton but this is something different. I do like how the tabs work.

my brain hurts but feel it is slowly clicking

[crashedthecar]

first crash 1 minute later, but easy error reporting
