There are software programs that are taken in hand quickly and DP is one of

install updated successively, but approval is simple

Koike no dongle or whatever, so we can run it on multiple machines at the same time

the manual is well done

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

G5 2x2, 5 to 4 GB Ram - 160 GB and 2 x 1250 Firewire For storage
UAD 1 1 + 1 RME HSP 9652

MACH 5, SOS, STYLUS ....

there is no problem but I must admit having a lot of Plantade

The software is very intensive mixing, management bus, Aux,
It does not really go down very low buffer: I work at 128 K in buffer size, the logic or pedal!!

in monitoring logicel there is an effect on the phase byzarre entries, with a buffer size of 128 ... He finally c reboot fo desfois byzarre
Forgot to put an EQ or koi in between, the latency will feel too

Avoid bar and watching the resource is parcekelle proc tends to soar, let's say 2 or 3 ke Virtual Instrument, Kelker plug is the use of 8 bus Mixing + 2 rev in Aux and you are in the Red
Kel Difference with Logic! the use of IV and the management of native plug the machine has nothing to do with DP c why I changed

I would say that on the same machine I turned on 5 Stylus RMX Logic PD and 22 on the same machine!! all with 16 mix buses ...
Comparison else ...?

However once in the red I feel that the software application k'en head the power of the machine and after we can put him on the chin

So it becomes cumbersome to use

on the other hand gonna mix it in the back buffer is freeze the IV and you can forget the resource

I use it before with a card Motu HD192 and I had the same problem

Parcontre it can be used with any sound card kel and even use several different brand and what other software does k'aucun

OVERALL OPINION

I'm using DP since version 2.72 on G4 400 Mac OS 9
.... the best I could config native utilisbr />
Motu has been able to manage the difficult transition to OS X this great software, it sounds more like the way: the audio engine is pasty is heavy, even the original plug, including the famous preamp does not sound like it since version he buzz and blast !!!!! something crazy
the mixes sound more, lack of relief, aeration arriv I am no longer do as well as on OS 9 .. What happened to people even recognize the umd and know nothing!

But this fucking app is the Best I say the best sequencer general market:

I pass as beacoup people disappointed by motu on logic, but even if in resource management and logic of the machine is doing much better, it is no Audio shit!

especially on the 4.6 software ergonomics has evolved, but it crashes often + ke logic and its audio engine is doubtful ... ke I know I made enemies by saying was, but I am disappointed the first, even in English this software is simple to use that logic in French!

compared to + Logic:

+ Audio Montage
+ Management decision
Management + audio (quantification tempo change, assembly, c simple logic is not pe!
The audio pitch + c bluffing!
+ Automation and automatic tool change in the window
Management + mixing
Polar + ts simply sublime!
+ Midi plug in
+ Routing of buses to
+ Chunk live: a unique
+ The design automation
+ The use of IV multitimbral

plenty of other stuff ...

The Logic and more - DP
+ The management of the machine (there are no pictures!)
+ Plug nettenment of logic are better and sufficient in most cases
- DP from the plug of the MW and moog filter means are
Best + graphical user interface, and instant results of changes in apple (logical!)
+ Power save preset slice ca's great
+ Best Sound
Arrangement + + + and software clear

lots of other stuff too if you want to know more feel free mecrire

Anyway ... DP I miss and I hope that version 5 will improve the stability and the audio engine, and it will be my pleasure to turn my thunderbolt Software mank me so much!
