Another plus for DP, & the main reason I can’t leave it, is the wait-for-note feature. Stupidly simple, yet mind-boggingly absent from most DAWs. You press Record, & it won’t start recording until you play your synth. That option to not have to have a count-in before it records is crucial for me. Waiting for the damn countoff EVERY SINGLE TIME is annoying…maybe not at first, or just on a few tracks…but what if your song is say 80 tracks? At 62bpm? You must wait 80 times for that slow countoff before recording (I’d assume you already have a feel for the tempo after a bit). And oh, do you sequence from beginning to end in one go per track, without making a mistake? Need to punch in at some point? Gotta wait for that count-off, so now 80 becomes 160…need to punch-in more than once? Keep multiplying…so much time wasted.
There are more plusses, & @machinesworking covered a lot of it. There are even more, & I love the fact that every update there’s little things that they add that improve your workflow, things that were obvious user suggestions just by the way it makes you go “cool that I can do that now!”, & that they always work on stability. It isn’t perfect (what DAW is?), & it does get frustrating at times (like all DAWs), but they’ve modernized it enough that it doesn’t have to be oldschool.. you can do anything with it, as long as you learn it. I’m too lazy & busy to REALLY learn it, so I don’t even know half of it, yet I can still do everything I need to do & then some. Wait-For-Note…try THAT with your DAW![:D]( "Very Happy")
( I think PT has it? I’d like to know which other ones)
