At that more detailed level, therefore, there are certain things that might persuade some users to prefer one platform over another. However, the detailed means by which that functionality is delivered can be very different. What's more, it offers that functionality through a powerful user interface - built around its central Consolidated Window - that can easily be customised for different styles of working, or different tasks in the recording and mixing process.Īt a general level, there are obvious parallels in functionality between all the popular DAW platforms. Like all the modern top-end DAWs, Digital Performer has an impressive, and very deep, feature set, with all the core functionality you need to make, mix, and even master music-based projects combining audio recordings and MIDI sequencing. However, for those readers unfamiliar with the DP platform, a brief summary will provide some useful context. Has the wait for DP10 been worthwhile, and what does it now have to offer that might tempt both existing users, or potential new ones? Able PerformerĪs SOS have covered DP's evolving feature set in many previous review and workshop articles, I'll focus here on the new additions and revisions in this release. However, a significant and free further update to 10.1 took place while this review was in progress, confirming that their development team are still very much on the ball! Unlike some DAW manufacturers, MOTU don't follow an annual update cycle, so the wait for DP10 has been a little longer than some would have liked. Version 8 saw the previously Mac-only DAW make an impressive debut on Windows, while version 9, reviewed by Robin Bigwood in the February 2016 issue of SOS, beefed up the bundled virtual instrument collection. With a history spanning more than 30 years, it's hardly surprising that MOTU's Digital Performer has a mature feature set and a well-established reputation.
Long a favourite amongst film and TV composers, Digital Performer now embraces loop-based production and live performance.
