Digital performer vs cubase software#

By the way, advertising is also a terrible weakness of MOTU. But вЂњlovingвЂќ DP means it must stay competitive. If you think continually being far back on the top DAWs list is a вЂњgood signвЂќ, we surely think differently. And as for me personally, I only ask for them to fix snap shot automation, automation pasting without creating ramps, and accurate read out of automation data for waves and other plugs. I am not going to list all the latest ad greatest features DP has fallen behind on. You have вЂњNOвЂќ idea what IвЂ™m talking about when I say DP has fallen behind? Really? And then you have to make a false argument that because I want DP to be better, it means I want EDM for children? DP's MIDI is functional and powerful but more mouse-click intensive and limited in comparison to Logic or Cubase.

My projects are primarily MIDI with software instruments. You're very clear about what you need that is currently lacking. I didn't literally mean competitive but rather the wish for DP development to be more responsive my needs. That's how I started with DP many years ago.Replace 'competitive' with 'responsive'. With DP, I think plenty of people use it and don't see it going anywhere anytime soon, especially with their new interfaces performing so well, customers may buy the software to go with the interface. The only reason competitiveness might make sense (as you mentioned) is so the software stays in production. I really don't care what other people use or how competitive MOTU is with their features, unless it's something basic MOTU should have implemented ages ago in DP (like trim pots, which other DAWs have). Things that slow me down piss me off and demotivate me when the ideas are flowing. I request new features because I need them or because existing features don't let me work fast enough. I hope Mojave will make up for the awful High Sierra. Although I have to admit, despite what I've read countless times, I had absolutely no issue with El Capitan (using PT, DP and Logic), it was very fast and stable. The last OS I really enjoyed using was Mavericks, everything that came after, came with some frustration one way or another. But a 'simplified' OS experience is irrelevant for some of us, in fact it ends up counter-productive more often than not. I honestly think Apple is aiming at making the OS experience an enjoyable affair for most users. There's a fine line between 'making things simpler' and 'dumbing things down'. But as Apple grew bigger and bigger, so was the user base, and most people have absolutely no idea of what's happening when they're pushing a key on their keyboard. It was such a huge step forward compared to OS 9. I was, dare I say, 'fluent' in Unix when OS X came out. I'm not sure I miss OS 9, except maybe for a nostalgia moment every now and then, but back then I was doing electroacoustic music on Irix SGIs as well as Macs. No I guess you're just a power user, someone who knows what he's doing on his computer, and what his computer is actually doing under the hood. That's how I started with DP many years ago. We all have to use what tools allow us to easily get the music out, which seems to vary based on the individual. I might not like the other software and find it excruciating to write songs in based on my workflow, so I wouldn't use that software anyway just because of one or two features it has that DP doesn't. My impression is that folks who request new features for DP want it to remain competitive!I request new features because I need them or because existing features don't let me work fast enough.
