Digital Performer With My Mac, DP now or wait till OSX support? Options

[tingkumajique]

I have a PowerMac G4 867 Dual Processor running with 1.25Gigs of DDR RAM.

i have a great offer on Digital Performer and it comes one in a lifetime. the thing is, i'm gonna spend quite a hefty sum on it and i really need to know if getting the software now is advisable or not.

i'm aware that it does not support Mac OS X, but i have OS 9.2.2, so it really isn't a problem. is just don't really want to get this software and then after a few months MOTU comes up with a better software sequencer. just like when i bought my Mac, 2 months later a higher processor comes out.

is it a good to go for the plunge? what other things should i look out for?

currently, when i get the software, i'll use the mac line-ins until i recover slightly financially and get a outboard unit.

thanx for helping...

Motu is like mo FOO, basically whenever Pro Tools comes out with new features Motu adds them to a pretty interface for kids, so you will have to wait for a clone of Pro Tools and Vision, Motu Stinks!!!! they lied for a year about there osx ready DP, so they are allways as usual HYPE, Marketing and BS!!!!

Long time users of DP know that an upgrade will follow changes in Digi TDM hardware.

Because they usually get it right the first time (unlike Steinberg) it will be woth waiting for.

Vangelaki, I think you missed a few parts of the great DP on X soap, full of love, full of hate, not for the faint of heart

btw, Tell me which editor doesn't go the marketing b… S… each his turn? LOL

Now I agree with gdoubleyou, better wait a bit and have it right, right out of the box. They are slow yes. YESSSS! but you can still work on 9 don't you?

It'll come, it'll come.

Now, my REAL concern is the _update price_
