![]() I remember trying out Logic for the first time and being astonished it didn't feature these. The chunks in DP are, for me at least, the real 'can't live without' feature. very surprising and eye/ear opening to people. Basic 'meat and potatoes' plugins.Īnd.the audio sound of any finished project sounds excellent. Great IR reverb plugin and nice delays and limiting/compression plugs. Honestly, you could just buy DP and not buy any plugins if you're just doing very straight ahead work or just recording MIDI tracks. it's got a built-in looper (Polar), great audio pitch correction, excellent audio plugins, guitar efx plugins, etc.they're there if you need them. I've never found DP to be lacking for any musical or audio need, and in fact there are still many aspects of the program that I barely ever use for most of my MIDI and/or audio recording. There might be a few complaints, but nothing to lose sleep about. Whatever.I find some of the other DAW's 'too pretty' and that they don't feel like 'workhorses.' I mean, you can customize your screen colors in DP if you want, and you can enlarge the track views in the arrange windows if you feel like you'd like to see larger type. (you can get very fast with it)Īs everyone says, it's what you get used to. I'm so used to it, and of course have been using some of my own key commands, that I can almost do some MIDI recording with my eyes closed.bing bang bang boom.record. So much power under the hood that I know I will constantly be going back and streamlining my workflow for years to come.and the MIDI editing tools are first rate, even considering the visibility issues mentioned above, with the only aspect I am having issue with, the tiny velocity markers. That being said, areas I thought I would have difficulty with (routing for instance) are no problem. Also, at least in my mind, none of the menus are very intuitive, especially right-click, sending me back to the 900+ page manual to mine for information. I have had to use Windows Magnifier on major portions of the screen until I instinctively knew upon what I was clicking (22" monitor will be upgrading to 32"). I'm the latter and what Motu did was just port the Mac program over to the Windows, including Mac conventions, so if, for instance, you want close or resize a window, the buttons are "in the wrong place". You didn't mention if you are a Mac or Windows user. Just in the process of getting used to DP. ![]() But that's just me, I'm sure some composers here that use DP will pipe in and say its the bees knees for them and power to them, it really does come down to personal preference. As a musician I find other DAW's so much more musically intuitive. I guess it would be great for post production, for example due to the way it works. an audio engineer will appreciate so many little details about it that are often not found on other DAW's. ![]() My perception about DP is that its audio engineering oriented. They themed it at least and that makes it easier to look at if you're just sitting there staring at it, but when you start to actually use it.s clunky and has simply not evolved with the times like other products have. There are actually lots of in-elegant things about DP's UI. That alone is a deal breaker for me, some others may not care. There are usability issues with the way the GUI has evolved over time. DP's GUI has many basic graphical design problems such as tiny fonts, etc.but that is the least of the problems. ![]()
