How long can you stay mad at a unicorn?  This ain't yer granny's Digital Performer. Just got it installed and launched once, opened an old, creaky DP 3x project, and it fired right up (after coughing a few times about missing--read: obsolete--OS 9 effects plugz that had been in the session). It played back like a champ. I need to do some audio optimization (buffer, latency optimizations, etc.) because I have different hardware than I was running DP3 with, but overall it's a thing of beauty and grace. Several very nice GUI enhancements have made it even better than it was. It does, by the way, have track "freezing": a sort of virtual (and revertable) "bounce" of a track or tracks, freeing up effects and other resources. Then you can "unfreeze" it to do further adjustments, etc. This is really just a first-impression pre-review. The manual is about the size and mass of a concrete block. (Just kidding--sorta'.) I'm getting cozy with the Quick Start guide at the moment to see what is new and different, and will be gettin' serious with it here over the next day or two. I'll make this a sort of journal thread, with segmented reviews, and will answer whatever questions get thrown at me as I can. Nobody will ever hear this boy sayin' "It was worth the wait," because I've already made my disgust with MOTU manifest over them dragging their horseshoes into OS X-land. But I will say that it seems, on first blush, that they did a thorough job of it. Now I'll see what happens when I crank 'er up to speed...

QUOTE just got a new mac with OSX. I can't install DP3 at all. It says it can't find the CD. Any suggestions? DP3 isn't supported by OS X. You will need to upgrade to DP4. https://secure.motu.com/store/global/dp4.html

QUOTE (BusError @ Apr 17 2003, 11:20) Whats your problems?
Given enough demand, I could possibly reverse engineer EZbus's Profile Editor and make one for OSX. Hey, buserror. I just started a new thread in this forum giving details about the problems. It's USB audio and DP4: "It's dead, Jim."    Well, with the EZBus and Griffin's iMic at least. One person has reported success with the Tascam US-224, but only under OS 10.2 so far. The new topic is "DP4 and USB audio failures." All the data is there. Man, a DP4 profile for X would be great!  I'll post more on the audio problems in the other thread as more info arises.

So i've decited, due to daily kernal crashes, to update to 10.2, and since i'm already doing that, going for the DP4 upgrade instead of Deck LE So... is it true that DP4 does (or will) support OS 9 plug-ins? This was an early rumor, but I haven't heard about it since. I'd LOVE to not even install OS 9.. but I'm not about to go re-buy an auto-tune plug-in
