DP9: Is it snappier?

[Shooshie]

Well... is it?

PS: I haven't ordered mine yet. I've been working on a project unrelated to music, and it's had me staying up night-and-day, spending hoards of money, boring my friends with it, etc.

But I'm about to go get DP9. Just wanted to know if it's snappier.

hehehe... Actually... I think it is!

Now once the crackle and pops are gone our work here will be finished. Lol

Seems somewhat snappier to me so far. Also, the DP9 changelog includes "• Greatly improved project save speed."

Downloading as we speak. I leapfrogged my registrations, upgrading my copy of DP7 and leaving DP8 where it is. When DP 10 comes out (assuming, of course, that it will), I'll upgrade DP8 to DP10, and leave my copy of DP9.

I've been leapfrogging my two copies of DP for years. That way I always have one up-to-date copy and one of the last version. It keeps them both more or less current without spending twice as much to do it.

I won't be able to test DP this week, most likely. It'll be later next week before I get back to music projects. Assuming, of course, that I don't just walk out of music forever. It's fun to do other things now and then, you know? But sooner than later, I always come back running to music, and since I do most of my music projects in DP, then I come back running to DP!

Does nobody know whether DP9 is snappier? How tawdry is that? The snap coefficient is the first thing we ALWAYS test for!

It snapped my girdle.

I don't think it's snappier. And I'm still getting a spinning beach ball (that lasts for a few seconds) after I do certain things, just like in DP8.

Same. I notice no difference in snappiness.

I am getting stuff done a lot faster with some of the new minor features though. Sequence window selection is just huge for me (among other things).

Yes, Dr. Life Crisis; do you have the data, yet? What's the DP9 Snap Coefficient? Based on the Crackle Constant, how does that affect the Pop Function? Do we have the numbers yet??? C'mon... I have important time to waste elsewhere! I need those numbers NOW!

I'm impressed with your name, Dr. Life Crisis. You sound... sophisticated, yet urbane! Academic, and yet somehow intelligent! I can tell that your secretaries tremble a little when they call out your name. (I have no idea WHY; I just hear their chairs rattling.) Do you think that a Ph.D. would have that effect on me? "Dr. Shooshie." Why YES! I think it DOES!

I need that DP9 Snap Coefficient, Dr. Life Crisis! How can I ever be a real doctor like you if I don't get those numbers? I await the day that I can say "Nurse... Boot my DAW!"

Ha ha ha! I have a high school diploma. I only taught at a university; I wasn't dumb enough to actually attend one.

And to answer your question, it only applies to cereal [sic] music.

[Guitar Gaz]

No it isn't - it is pretty much the same as 8.07. Anyway - define snappier.

[MIDI Life Crisis]

Anyway - define snappier.

I think I just did...

[James Steele]

Is it snappier? As usual no clear cut answer. Some say yes. Others say no. It appears completely dependent on what kind of system you're running and what your workflow is.

Once I installed an SSD, everything became snappier.

I do have a benchmark file that I use for testing. Discounting the demo screen, yes, I think it's a little faster. I'll try to run some tests once I have my new activation code.
