Same here. I'd buy just for that. I've tried to figure out where the font is set, but I can't find it.

There's no user accessible parameters to change font sizes, unfortunately.

So we should find a picture of Gilbert Gottfried using DP to get the point across? :wink:

I'm wrapping up 13 straight days in the studio working on a young new artist's record. This girl is a *powerful* vocalist. Can't wait for you all to hear her.

I've been tasked with all the editing and rough mixing tasks. I started the first song with Melodyne, doing a verse and chorus. She hated it. Said she sounded digital and edited. Mind you, I wasn't doing any different moves that I normally would have. Well, I loaded the vocals into DP, did the same work using just DP's pitch, and the result was completely different. She couldn't believe any editing had been done at all. All the things in her voice she wanted to hear were still there. Playing it back on the big speakers, it blows my mind that PureDSP is such old technology and still continues to blow away anything that has come after. AutoTune, Melodyne, ReVoice... they all have their purposes. When it comes to the most natural sounding vocal editing method, however, DP is STILL KING.

I am about to start using DP9, what's the situation with using version 8 AmpGUI themes in DP9? I did email Andy about the availability of his themes for DP9 but have no reply.

Thanks

Steve. I use them everyday in 9.02. There are a few niggles here and there, but nothing that is a showstopper. If I recall correctly, the new to DP9 MIDI learn icon won't exist on Andys themes as it was new tool.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If I didn't have Andys themes, I would have retired.

I'll second that, I don't have great eyes and 'Mellow' enables me to work for hours in DP. I can't imagine life without it!
