Naturally, I leaned towards S1 and finally bought it which I don't use now as well.MOTU's award-winning Digital Performer lets you record, edit, arrange, mix, process and master MIDI and audio tracks simultaneously to produce musical recordings, sound tracks for film and television, and other audio production tasks.įor both Mac and Windows, Version 9 delivers exciting new virtual instruments and plug-ins, including the meticulously crafted MasterWorks™ FET-76™ emulation of the classic 1176 limiting amplifier, MOTU’s powerful 64-bit MX4 multisynth (now included with DP), MicroG™ and MicroB™ guitar and bass synthesizers and the completely mind-blowing MegaSynth™ hybrid guitar/subtractive synth processor. One more thing played a role was because DP was initially for Mac/Apple so the mentality for Windows newcomers was not much welcoming and was like 'don't like it, leave'. Many vst(i)s constantly used in my workflow also turned out to be invalid which was another problem, however sometimes rescaning worked for some. For me, the workflow was a little different and I would stuck on something for long period of time with no help or zero percent chance of your query being replied. Worse, there were no or few tutorial videos on youtube even for Mac. Part of it was the reason that it was new for Windows and even MOTU wasn't aware of many problems a Win user would encounter. This turned me really off because I had to look around elsewhere on how to do simple things. Then I found DP (demo) users forum, the worst ever forum I had ever encountered with a ghetto kind of mentality where your queries would linger on hanging without being answered or with a rude reply because you were a free user. However, it was not stable on windows (at that time at least) and some basic vst routing to tiny fonts enlargement and creating buses etc, everything was pain in arse for a beginner (which I later discovered on the go). I really liked it and had hard time to decide between this and Studio One. It was, I think, version 8 when windows version came out. This daw is a beast with deep midi functions which amazes you everytime when you discover something new. Well that's it, it might be unfortunate that something that dumb is a show stopper but this is what happened when a company does not listen to its users for the last three years or so.Īnyway, let's hope that DP 10 will fix this because I felt that this DAW has great potential, and not ony for film composers. I have seen people running DP on a 15 " laptop, I'm just wondering how they can see anything displayed unless they sit 10 cm away from the screen. Apparently I am far to be the only one with this issue, I also contacted MOTU and was told that there was no plan to rework the GUI on Windows. Unless I changed my screen resolution, there was no way to scale the GUI. I really tried to go deep on this one but I decided to stop because of something that might seem rather stupid: the characters displayed on the screen were much too small for working comfortably even on my 23 ". I have been using Studio One on Windows 10 for the last three years and I am still satisfied but wanted to try something radically different.Īfter briefly looking at Sonar and FL Studio, I came across DP9.
