Setup is simple: after you install version 4, you just go to Apple’s Audio MIDI Setup and respecify any synth names and models you’ve entered.īut Digital Performer’s lists work only with an instrument’s stock sounds, so those old custom patches you’ve lovingly crafted aren’t immediately usable. With the lists, hardware-synth and sound-module users can quickly build a setup that lets them choose the Reverb Piano sound on their ancient Roland D-10, for example, rather than testing the 128 “Patch XX’s” to find the right voice. The documentation is otherwise stellar, with more than a thousand clearly written, well-indexed pages.įurther on the useful side, Digital Performer ships with more device- and patch-name lists (more than 330) than other major sequencers.
(If Freeze sounds familiar to digital musicians, that’s because Logic 6 introduced a similar feature with the same name in February 2003.)įreeze works great, but note that you need to enable the Multi Record option in the Studio menu in order to freeze multiple tracks - a bit of information MOTU really should have shared. And your original tracks are just a click away - if you want to go back and tweak them, just unfreeze the tracks and make your edits then freeze them again at will. We froze six tracks and were able to add four more before we again encountered redraw problems. The original tracks are automatically deactivated, reducing the load on system resources, so you’re able to add or record new tracks.
The process happens in real time, and the app won’t let you work with any part of the program while it’s consolidating the tracks. Digital Performer’s hottest new feature, Freeze, lets you mix a number of audio tracks - including any applied sound effects - down to two tracks.
