I loaded it on my Mac. It looks very interesting. I need to play with it more though.
I guess everyone is aware of Google’s new privacy policy that goes into effect @March 1.
Basically they are going to be tracking your searches, what you watch on you tube and reading your gmail so that they can target advertising to you.
I noticed it already. I watched a couple of NI Maschine tutorials on youtube last week. This week, I was watching some completely unrelated videos on youtube, and an ad for Maschine expansions popped-up.
It’s pretty obvious they already track searches. I look for something on google and then websites I visit with google ads, surprise, surprise: the ads generally relate to something I’ve searched for or looked at recently. Same already occurs on youtube with targeted advertising. It’s been happening for months, maybe years IIRC. I don’t see what will actually be different?
Awhile back I was on a real estate site and I had an ad delivered for Cakewalk Sonar (the DAW I use). That was startling!
I’ve got that ugly TuneSat monkey following me around the internet…
LOL!
Yep 2k for base model, Thunderbolt extra and not available yet. 1176, LA and Pultec eq bundled with it.
It would give you PT HD like performance natively with Thundrbolt. Pity they aren’t giving more plugs away with this.
OK, anybody out there using Digital Performer ….MAJOR NEWS at NAMM
DP8 –64 bit and available to Windows users for the first time.
How is DP7 for you. I really hope MOTU survive, and this hopefully will bring in revenue. I used Performer for years and it was bullet proof. Got a bit flakey from DP4 so I switched to Protools.
HI Denis,
I have used Performer since its inception, around 1985. I have had every generation of Digital Performer (maybe I skipped one while in law school). I love it. I bought Logic when it went 64bit because I needed to access more RAM for my template, and I didn’t like it.
I went back to DP and got around the RAM limitation with VEPRO.
I had a couple of issues early on with DP7 and Kontakt. I traced that to a conflict with what DP calls “pre-gen” mode. Once you bypass that all is good. I use a ton of plug-ins, and external devices — like NI’s Maschine, with very few problems.
I’m really looking forward to 64 bit DP, and the possibility of not needing VEPRO, unless I add another computer. It should be out in March, I’ll let you know how it goes. As a previous DP owner, you should qualify for a discounted upgrade.
Cheers,
Michael
The last DP I have DP3. Interesting to see if they give me an upgrade after 10 years. I am going native this time. Waiting for new Mac pros to come out hopefully early this year. I loved DP3 it was great. I absolutely hate Logic. I find it really frustrating and illogical. For film work DP rules and it’s midi was always good. They seemed to run into problems with audio coding for a while but that seems to be sorted.
I don’t do much ‘live” tracking, but I think recording VI through it would do
a lot, particularly orchestral mock-ups. It might take off some of the digital edge.
I was thinking about upgrading to Apogee, but this might be the ticket.
geez! I wanna have that bass players baby if I could figure out a way to do it.
Forgot to mention…the drummer’s not to shabby either!
And they’re all 23 or under!
Great stuff, checked out their youtube channel and there is more great music there

Some people are not amused. Here’s a video clip from Microsoft:

It looks astonishing if it works. Anything else at NAMM that is of interest to MLR members ?
Quite amazing! I would wish for midi though they did say that is a possibility down the road.
Universal Audio Unveils Apollo Audio Interface With Realtime UAD Processing

Spotted this one too Brian, lovely but expensive.

Another more extensive rundown. Very tempting.
Starts at 2K for dual core unit.
I don’t do much ‘live” tracking, but I think recording VI through it would do
a lot, particularly orchestral mock-ups. It might take off some of the digital edge.
I was thinking about upgrading to Apogee, but this might be the ticket.
Hi all, if anyone producing GOOD quality cinematic/epic/trailer music would like to have it added to my YouTube channel for a bigger exposure please email me at katrine@mscinematicmusic.com Please attach your files for a review.

OK keyboard players, get your Hanon books, and bass players dig out the Mel Bay.
Forget the origins of the tune…holy crap what chops!

I recently watched the latest Jesse Stone installment and was reminded, once again, what a great composer Jeff Beal is! Check him out at: http://www.jeffbeal.com/Pages/FILMS%20Pages/JesseStone.html.
Art – He is a great composer – I really liked the main title he did for the HBO series “Rome” a while back.
I’ll check that out Brian. Hey, when are you coming into L.A. again? I think I owe you lunch!
Soon Art!
A very versatile composer. He did great quirky stuff on Monk.
Ugly Betty also.
