The number of cross-grade DAW offers after Sonar fall is interesting, must be tough business nowadays.

Well, we're talking thousands of users, so it makes sense to reach out to those folks.

What doesn't make sense is how long DP took... They have finally come up with an offer a full week after Presonus, Steinberg, Mixcraft and Samplitude came out with theirs.

It's also interesting that it's a crossgrade across the board - not specific to CW users - so it may be that this is just DP's regular planned Black Friday sale.

About time. Although it has probably occurred in the past, I do not recall ever seeing a crossgrade sale for DP 9 or 8.

All sorts of vultures are circling above the cadaver.

I tried DP a few months ago, it needs a UI overhaul... the most off putting thing is the tiny tiny fonts and that's at 1080P resolutions. It seems development has just stagnated with this daw, in a similar way Sonar did from my impressions... same camp as Pro Tools..

Me as well! I booted the demo and just about as quickly closed it. A shame as it seems to have nice features. I can't spend all day squinting at the screen.

One thing I don't understand. Aren't the devs of some these programs getting older? I'd think they would be getting over the tiny text and icon thing rather quickly. 1024 by 768 is long, long gone.

I was looking at DP because of the great price. I was wondering if it does anything better than the other DAWs to make it worth getting? I'm trying to watch videos on it, but I swear guys that use DP seem to ramble a whole lot.

But now I read that the size of the text on the screen is small which would make it a no-go for me. I should probably just save my money.

Totally agree the fonts are really a deal breaker

[untimelyman]

People have been complaining about the tiny fonts for years. The usual response from DP veterans is: "you don't have to read the text all the time, you will know where things are once you're used to the interface".

Such inconsiderate culture.

DP is in theory, best suited to film scoring, it excels at working with LARGE numbers of tracks. Definitely, you want to be viewing it with as large of a monitor as possible. I like it, but have never actually come close to buying it.

DP's Digital Performer 9.5 is now shipping 9 / 12 / 2017

I'm watching this at 1080P, the same as my native screen resolution...the font size in the menus, the size of buttons and font size of the timeline numbering is unfortunately still laughable. And as far as I can see from the page that this video resides on, there isn't anything implemented to address this huge issue Digital Performer has.

You can save yourself the bandwidth and time in downloading 1 Gig's worth that the program consumes on your drive just by watching this, if font size concerns you.
