I'd agree that DP is an intuitive app in comparison to the others I've dabbled with. The interface seems pretty good to me. However, when I first fired it up and began working with it as a complete DAW newbie, the multiple windows and environments (tracks, mixer, soundbites, sequence editor, midi editor, drum editor, etc.) were simply overwhelming, and the 1.5" inch thick manual proved to be quite a challenge for someone basically unfamiliar with the language of recording. Add the MOTU 828, its control panel, MIDI and the Freemidi/OMS stuff and the launch process becomes very tough. This is not to say that it's poorly conceived or documented, many engineers/musicians far more experienced than I with other alternatives are very impressed with it. I know its capabilities are enormous, but as an amateur unable to take time off and get some professional instruction, I've found unlocking its potential with a manual and some forums/lists specific to HD recording is a challenge unlike any other I've encountered since becoming a Mac user and learning graphics apps like Photoshop and Freehand, which I considered to be pretty deep and complex before taking up digital home recording. Despite the challenge I've found the experience of recording and realizing my little projects to be an amazing and rewarding experience. I'm counting myself among the DP faithful, but I do fantasize about better sources of tips and step-by-step instruction.
