It crashes a lot during audio editing but maybe it's better in V10 The chunks feature is really neat, can also be used as a scratch pad to store ideas. However it seems more performance intensive than the rest with audio files, even though it might be diffrent now.

We don't hear it a lot but DP is very CPU friendly for MIDI stuff, it can take a LOT of virtual instruments even on lower-end rigs.

I demo'd DP in the past (v9) and used it fully during the trial period, here's my experience with the software: When I started collaborating with some guys in US, I was forced back to DP - now version 10 - and although there had been some improvements, my impression lines up pretty much with Dewdman42.

Having actually read the manual I asked complicated questions, apparently to complicated to some of the old guys, and I was turned down in a very 'impolite' way to say it at least.ĪND a user forum with friendly people - like this or the FB group of Dorico - is invaluable for newcomers. But what actually nailed it was the very unfriendly reaction I got from the user group. Creating tempo maps to live recordings was also quite difficult, something I do a lot, especially if you dare to use more than one time signature in a project. Pretty hard to grasp when you have got used to new standards. I realised that DP was kind of the old telephone switchboard, you have to make the connection yourself, no combined track type.

Logic wasn't going anywhere and Cubase was too ugly and PC like. Second, does DP have anything similar to smart control or quick controls, and if not, has anybody come up with a way to do something similar with 3rd party software? Currently smart controls and quick controls are very important for my workflow in Logic and Cubase respectively.Ī couple of years back I was in the same situation. Does anybody have a good workflow in place for articulations? I have two questions about DP and I’d love to get some input from anybody here who uses the program.įirst, as far as I can tell, DP doesn’t have a native system for articulation management, but I’ve seen some promising looking solutions. And even though my projects load in under 20 or 30 seconds thanks to decoupled VEP, it adds up to a significant amount of time when I have to open and close a lot of cues in a day. This would make merging different versions and snippets of cues together much simpler, which is something I have to do pretty frequently. I’d love to be able to have access to all versions and revisions of several cues in one project. I have a big VEP rig on PCs and Mac Pros.Īs you‘ve probably guessed, I’m thinking of going to DP for the chunks feature. I’m a long-time Logic user and I’ve dabbled with Cubase off and on. I’m a new member of the forum, but I‘ve visited many times over the years
