There's a printed manual - a 1090‑page whopper - and a smaller Getting Started guide, but no PDF or browser‑based equivalents for when you're on the road. It installs from a single CD, and still has light‑touch copy protection that just requires the installer disc to be in the drive, and a key code entered, the very first time you run the application. Secret SevenĭP7 looks and feels remarkably similar to DP6, and there are other similarities too. Both should give you a taster of what's generally on offer if DP is otherwise new to you. And though very outdated in many ways now, there's additional coverage of the guts of the editing environment in September 2006's DP5 review, at /sos/sep06/articles/performer5.htm. It's customary at this point to refer the reader back to some previous reviews, and who am I to buck tradition? My review of DP6 was published in the November 2008 edition of SOS, available on the web at /sos/nov08/articles/dp6.htm. But it's also got a reputation as an all‑rounder, offering sophisticated audio editing and deep MIDI programming features, making it a serious alternative to the other giants of the Mac DAW world. The headline feature in DP7 is a suite of new guitar-processing plug‑ins that includes various modelled 'stomp box' effects, plus amp (below) and cabinet simulators.ĭigital Performer has long occupied a niche in the world of music‑for‑picture and film scoring, especially in the US. The latest version of MOTU's Mac sequencer has guitarists firmly in its sights, but there are plenty of general improvements too.
