Comps and Fades, DP 7.x

They absolutely ROCK!
Sometimes you just have to shout off the highest mountaintops. It's like wishing for a million dollars on your doorstep all your life, then one day you go to your door and there's a package with a letter that says "oh, by the way, here's your million. Sorry it took us a while. We were busy."

Thanks, MOTU!

Amen, brother!

I had a visceral reaction when I first did an audio editing session with 7: I was accustomed to hearing the little disc click (which I assume was the fade file being written to disk), and waiting a split second before auditioning to see if the edit sounded OK (otherwise it wouldn't play back properly, and back in the days of 5, it might even crash once in a while if I was editing multiple tracks simultaneously). No need for any of that anymore. Wow! I relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seemingly-little improvements like this make a big difference - thank you, MOTU!

Kudos to MOTU!
Real time fades are so...well...smooth.

Yup. It's as if we've all been given massive, free processor upgrades by MOTU. A chimney job?

Right on, BobK, and this sort of "smoothing" seems to have been ramped up(!) over the past 2 or 3 years, it seems to me.

Just wondering... did the transition to real-time fades in DP7 fix that DP6 bug where merged soundbites would have little clicks/glitches if there was any pitch correction done?
