![]() ![]() The organizational possibilities are staggering.īack to the daunting feature set. When you realize that Songs may be nested within other Songs… well, it’s party time. The real fun, however, begins when you arrange Sequences into what DP refers to as Songs (the editor shown above). However, it could just as easily be a set of songs in a set list, or a list of scenes in a movie. In this example of arranging sequences in the Song editor, you actually see a song. ![]() A long look, because it’s not a program you can dive into and immediately grasp–or want to immediately dismiss. There’s still a ways to go on the latter, but if you’ve gone to sleep on DP, you should take another look. MOTU has been hard at work the last few years updating Digital Performer’s feature set and modernizing the interface and workflow. DP 11 is as powerful as any of its competitors, and it also features a unique modular approach to composition and project organization that makes it a particularly good fit for movie scoring and complex live shows. When users discuss the premier digital audio workstations (DAWs) on the market these days, the $499 Digital Performer 11-a former top dog-doesn’t always make the list. But it’s also complex with a steep learning curve. Click here to download version 9.Digital Performer 11’s comprehensive feature set and unique modular organizational features make it great for film/game scoring and live multimedia events. Workflow enhancements - Dozens of additional workflow enhancements include a new pre/post fader metering option, faster switching between large sequence chunks, simplified audio hardware settings, improved compatibility with Avid Artist Mix and other Eucon control surfaces, and much more. Time code can be routed anywhere via the audio track’s output assignment, allowing you to achieve accurate time code sync in a wide variety of situations. SMPTE-Z plug-in - The new SMPTE-Z plug-in generates Longitudinal Time Code (LTC) while locked to DP’s timeline or while running independently in Freewheel mode. This allows you to easily incorporate outboard gear into your DP effects chains. ![]() Hardware Insert plug-in - DP’s new Hardware Insert plug-in functions just like other DP effects plug-ins, but loops the channel’s audio signal to a piece of outboard hardware, with latency compensation, for external processing. Small buffer optimization - DP’s MOTU Audio System (MAS) engine processing has been optimized to better support operation at smaller buffer sizes (for both Mac and Windows), for even lower latency performance overall. The CPU load of the sample rate conversion used in the Windows Audio driver has also been substantially reduced. This improves audio I/O latency and virtual instrument performance. In a round-trip latency (RTL) test using a MOTU 1248 Thunderbolt audio interface, DP achieves roundtrip latency of 1.6 ms with a 32 sample buffer at 96 kHz.Įnhanced Windows drivers - The latency of the WASAPI (Windows Audio) driver has been significantly reduced. Reduced latency on OS X - DP’s host buffer latency has been cut in half, resulting in industry-leading overall latency performance. Next-gen Pre-gen™ engine - DP’s Next-generation Pre-gen engine transparently pre-renders audio output from virtual instruments and plug-ins to dramatically reduce their CPU load, allowing you to run many times the number of plug-ins and virtual instruments than in previous versions. The 9.1 release introduces two new plug-ins, significant performance optimizations and dozens of workflow enhancements. If you don’t own DP yet, you can run the free download as a 30-day trial version. MOTU Digital Performer 9.1 now shipping as a free update for all DP9 owners. ![]()
