What type of music are you making Diego? I own both DP and Logic and while they both can manage any style, I find that Logic is great for electronic/rap/hip hop and DP is better for Film...

I know this is an old post but check out DP Power. Very good and rather thorough.

Check out MOTU.com for some great DP5 info. They say the upgrade will be shipping by the end of next week!

The cheapest and easiest way to get more performance is by getting more RAM. I usually recommend at least a gig. You should also be recording and streaming your audio off of a second drive. If you...

The PowerCore works just fine with DP4. You are correct in that DP does not yet have automatic delay compensation.

As long as the plugin is in the AU or MASX format, the installer will place it in the correct location and DP4 will automatically scan for it when starting up.

Hi Dean

There is no scroll wheel support in DP4 and if there was, I don't believe it would work in that way. Scroll wheel support has been a highly requested feature and I'm sure MOTU is working...

Hi Everett

Unfortunately it looks like it just might be your machine :( I wouldn't try to do pro audio in OS X without at least a G4. Logic is not like Garage Band at all (not as easy to use and...

Hi Everett and habibbijan,
Make sure that you have the recommended 1 Gig of RAM (as noted in the 4.1x update). OS X itself is fairly processor hungry so running it on a Mac that didn't originally...

Yup!

Howdy Howard!

Reaktor can be a very daunting application no matter how techno-savvy one may be! But it is extremely powerful and very flexible. If you haven't been to the community section at...

Hi Dino

Have you downloaded the latest update from Sampletank.com? They update it rather frequently. If that doesn't work, I would try increasing the RAM alloted to DP.

Are you running this with ProTools open? I believe the Digi version of Live needs PT to be running.

Thanks for stopping by Diego! It's a lot of fun to publish the site and it's great to talk to people who've strolled on by.

Groove on D! It's always refreshing to hear positive stories of musicians and their software. Spectrasonics makes great stuff! I've just been getting into Atmosphere for some film work and love it!

ProTools does not support VST plugins. The wrapper adapts VST plugins into a usable RTAS format. The wrapper is also not supported by Digidesign. There has been a lot of mixed results and some...

Howdy

Are you a PC or Mac person? What software came with the keyboard and what kind of music are you looking to make?

Yup, Digi does make some of the biggest software dongles in the industry :) Unfortunately you will need a ProTools interface to use the software. A lot of guys with 002s will grab an MBox for just...

ProTools LE doesn't support VST, but then again, neither does Sonar (without the wrapper of course :)) If you will be doing a lot of audio editing and/or collaborating with other studios/composers...

Hi Cornell

MachFive and EXS24 will run peacefully together in Logic (I use them almost daily in Logic.) Michael is correct, GigaStudio is a PC only app. It is a very powerful sampler and used by...

Howdy

DP4 does have a few bugs and there have been varied reports. Realize that most reports you do hear will most likely be the negative experiences, as most web posters don't normally post...

Hey Alex

DP4 and Logic 6 would both be able to do what you need. They both have Rewire support which would allow you to use both the sequencer and Reason in tandem. As far as a program similar...

FYI, my latest interview with Survivor and Fear Factor composer is now up at FilmMusicGear.com! He talks about some of his favorite software tools!

esp4p3, I know that music technology can be very confusing and it is a full time job just trying to stay on top of it all! Sometimes it's hard to pull off of the side of the road and ask for...

The ATR-1a could work but getting the effect that is found in the sample song would be very difficult. The rack unit lets you input a scale, key, or specified pitches and have your vocals snap to...
