Digital Performer Power User now on YouTube

Post by Steve Steele »

I've finally finished and uploaded my first "DP for power users" video. This one includes an intro mock up of Debussy's Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien ; La cour des lys. There's actually no tutorial in this first one. I wanted to start short and sweet. A trailer if you will.

My goal is to go menu by menu and describe every feature and function in DP. Not a workflow video as much as a "show off the beauty and power of DP" type video. There will also be other mockups and tips as I go.

Here's my first installment. Thoughts?

It's going to be extremely confusing to a lot of people if you use that pro tools theme for the videos.

I would really recommend using the standard DP9 theme for such videos.

I plan on using many of the different themes. One of DP's biggest PR issues is its "fun" factor. Many consider it your father's DAW. My goal is to show its power, it's features and how fun it is to use.

When I'm doing a step by step tutorial I'll default back to the v8 grey or v9 dark grey but, in all my videos I've gone from default 8 to Non More Black (my default) and have got great feedback for using the latter theme.

Thanks for the suggestion.
