I’ve been using Digital Performer for years (currently on DP8) and I’m considering upgrading so I can continue to use it on my new M1 mac. Are there things I should be aware of? Will I find the interface and controls familiar enough?

So I'm again thinking of Switching DAW as I have some Problems with my heavy Modified Version of Reaper and some Project-Issues.

But DP 11 seems to have some pretty substantial Dealbreakers for me and I wanted to confirm, that they still are Part of it and relevant.

Does it still have no Mixer-/Plugin-Undos and are Mixer Snapshots possible?

DP seems to be very Mouse-Tool based, which seems to be logical when working with Painting Programs, but rather hindering within a DAW, as most functions can handled via context and Mouse-Modifiers (like Alt+Click for instance) Reaper does a very good job at this, as it has no Tools to switch between, just very extensive Customization of Mouse Modifiers. Also Cubase it Pretty good at it.

There is no Post Fader FX, are there?

Tracks is no ARA Plugin Support yet, is there?

There is no Parameter Modulationis there?

Other than those Gripes, it is the most Complete out-of-the-box DAW for Composing besides Cubase and I'm not sure if I solely should stay with Reaper or expand to either DP11 or Cubase12 (Far Cheaper as it is on Sale and I already own an old License)

Am I still up to date, or dou you think so.e points are a non-issue because something I overlooked? Or do you yourself some Dealbreakers you wanna share?

Hey guy i'm newbie :'( can i have some advice from pro that how to start to be DP :'( Pls help me

Digital Performer used to be everywhere, now no one even talks about it.

MOTU built their entire brand on Digital Performer so why doesn't MOTU promote it anymore?

Hi guys, wondering if anyone can help with this. I've already gone into input filter and for some reason the sustain pedal functions when that window is open. As soon as I press "ok" so it's just the DAW (tracking window) the sustain pedal stops working. It's as if it's being blocked somehow. Exact same thing happens in the event chasing window. The sustain pedal works, close it and it stops working. Any ideas on how this could be solved? It's super annoying 😭

Anyone here know if MOTU offers an upgrade option to Digital Performer from Performer Lite? Only seeing crossgrades and upgrades from a previous version.

I'm working remotely with a drummer and he recently sent me files for a current project. The snare file has a section with a quieter martial snare roll section. Everything else in the track is there but the quieter section does not appear to be recognized in DP. I checked the track outside of DP to make sure that content was actually present on the track and it is. What is going on here and how do I get DP to recognize this quieter content?

I have a question that I’m dying to solve - I am freshly new to recording and I’m using a MOTU 896 HD with GarageBand. Is there any way to get eight individual track from the eight inputs or is it only capable of four stereo tracks? I’m using FireWire and it was a struggle just trying to get it to multitrack the four stereos. Wondering now if I can record my band live this way (requiring eight tracks), or if I need a different totally interface.

I want to make the transition from Logic Pro to Digital Performer as I know it will greatly benefit my film scoring workflow and overall quality of work.

Can anyone recommend any good videos where I can learn some of the basics/essentials?

Cheers!

Edit: before I forget I'm running DP8

I've got a lengthy live recording I've mixed, now a fellow engineer is looking to change the mix on a portion of the project. That engineer just needs the raw tracks from me for the section I've highlighted in the screenshot below. Anyone know how I could go about extracting just that portion of each track?

Hey, guys.

I’m looking to get a mixer that is capable of recording directly to DP9.5.1 with FireWire. I just wanted to know if anyone’s had any speed difficulties or issues running FireWire with this version or higher with FireWire?

I don't work with Movies and don't plan to in the foreseeable future. Is there a way to hide the Movie track or stop it from displaying in the Sequence editor?

Does anyone know how to bring the notes back into the midi grid? I’m trying to do pitch correction but I’m new to DP and don’t know what happened…

I’m new to DP and I will mainly use it for voice editing, I was wondering what help you work faster and what are some tips in general that improve your editing

I’ve been using DP on Windows/Mac for the past few years now and love its in-depth workflows. I started with DP9, am now on DP11, and with each new version I feel like MOTU has been pretty good about adding new features that others DAWs already do, or even ‘beat’ other competitors to the punch.

This is great and all, but obviously (using other DAWs heavily as well) there’s some features I’d like to see MOTU improve on or implement (Atmos support for example, more Clips window features, improved graphics speed/smoothness - Mac is smooth, but Windows isn’t even with a dedicated GPU).

What are some new features you’d like to see?

It is defaulting to a quarter note, I'd like it to be different

I'm currently running a Mac system 10.7.5, and MOTU DP 9.53.
I'm experiencing overloads with the processors, and would like much to upgrade, but I'd like to stay with OS 10.7.5, and DP 9.53.

The Mac Pro Tower system I'm currently running is as follows:
OS 10.7.5 with 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 12 GB 667 MHz DDR2-FB-DIMM

What other Macintosh machines are out there that will run 10.7.5 and run fast enough to keep up with DP 9.53? I'd like to stay with 10.7.5 because of other softwares that I utilize on this box, including Reason 6.5, which I use with DP (ReWire mode).

Thoughts?

New features include:

• Nanosampler 2.0

• Articulation Maps

• Articulations in QuickScribe

• MPE and Per-Note CC support

• Audio Retrospective Record

• Chunk Folders, Playlists, and Split View

• Support for Novation and Akai Pad controllers

• NKS support for NI Komplete Kontrol controllers

• Optimization for MCU and HUI control surfaces

• Enhanced Avid EuCon Support

• Live Performance Mode

• Multi-channel MIDI tracks

• Quantize & Transposition Track and Clip effects

• Intelligent Audio Interface Selection for macOS

• List Font Scaling

• Dynamically resizable channels strips

• macOS Big Sur Intel and Apple Silicon compatibility

hey,

Does anyone produce music using Native instruments Maschine and Digital Performer?

If so whats your work flow?

Thanks!

Hey - so for some reason the VIs I’m using with DP through Kontakt are very buggy; I’m not sure how to describe it so I made a quick video: https://youtu.be/ZfOCZdZUSd4

I’m on a Windows PC, using DP, Kontakt, and an Impact LX 25+ MIDI controller. I don’t think it’s the computer’s specs because it’s about as top of the line as they come... any idea what’s going on?

I am just starting out in digital performer and i am curious to know how did you guys begin with it as they are not much tutorials online or any courses. And if you guys did find any please share the link

Hi all! I'm just starting out in DP and using DP9 and I work in film / media scoring so while in DP I'll basically be working entirely with MIDI. My question is: when working with midi and instrument tracks, does there need to be a midi track for every single instrument track or can I use one midi track to direct the midi info to multiple different instrument tracks? If this question doesn't belong here, feel free to direct me to a better place to ask. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to set up a basic in-home studio using FL studios and an old MOTU 1224 Audio interface to record, but I cannot figure out what I need to get the MOTU running with Windows 10. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
