UPDATE: Top 10 features of DP is in production now 7.1.17
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2016 2:00 pm
..if you have a suggestion and/or have something you feel must be included let me know, This is going to be a big one. I expect about 40k views on YouTube within about 4-5 months. This is our video, and I'm making it for MOTU and us. I'll mention your name in the video if I use one of your ideas and you don't mind your name being mentioned, like as an editorial contributor. We've got about 2-3 weeks until I close sdbmititions.
I'm not trying to hog MOTU YouTube DP traffic. But I do like to go for high count views. I'm considering letting several members join me in the voiceover (per contribution). If interested, PM me.
I may contact a few of you.
Thanks!

Hey nation members.
In an upcoming video I'm going to tackle "Top 10 features of DP". [EDIT: I'll probably wait until the forthcoming update to make the actual video]. My audience is the young YouTube composer trying to decide on a DAW, and/or those that always wanted to know more about DP but we're too afraid to ask or haven't run across something that's direct, interesting to watch, and eye opening in its approach in showing the effectiveness of the features mentioned. (Yes, I know this actually might be beyond my video making capabilities and is a big realizability). Hence, I come to the nation.
I've also considered that ten of us each make a chapter of the video on a specialized topic and I'll edit it into a "10 favorite features by 10 pro DP users" - who would be up for this? if use guys don't mind it being on my YouTube channel (perhaps remixed for all or some of our channels. This is getting a tad ambitious as I type!)
Actually it seems a pretty obvious list but limiting it to a top 10 list is not very easy. And to represent DP like this, I wanted some consensus. Just a glance over my list and it's obvious that this could be an hour long video. That's not what I'm trying to make. If I can somehow do this in 10-15 minutes that would be prefect I think. I've got to up my voiceover game, which is no problem with a little sleep first!
Shooshie, MLC, James, Mike, bayswater, RR, toodamnhip, HCMarkus... and all..
In no particular order, just off the top of my brain..
1) DP can use either MAS, AU or VST2 plugins and at the same time (in most cases I've tried).
2) Chunks - Chunks, Songs and VRacks and everything that goes along with that. Seperate MIDI Tracks and it's efficiency with VEP. (Very underrated). Chucks will be one of the stars of the video.
3) The Mixer and all its fancy tricks including Mix Mode, Automation Snapshot, Track layouts and show tracks. Track Groups with aux track included, more..
4) Can use multiple hardware interfaces
5) MIDI strengths - DP's history, the Median strip Points, Bars and Lines mode, Event List, Conductor Track, MIDI Device Groups, MIDI effects, Audio to MIDI,
6) Audio strengths - Pitch and pitch automation, bite volume, Soundbite tempo, spectrogram, Spectral effects (maybe), Waveform and Soundbite windows, Comping and Takes, Tools and interesting audio tricks. Because DP's MIDI strengths are obviously strong I want to make sure to show off DP's audio capabilities.
7) Bundles, The Mixer Themes, Consolidation, colors Window Sets, etc...
Tracks vs Sequence view (non DP users seem to be baffled by this one.
9) A fast forward style catch all list - off-line bouncing, on-line bouncing and freezing, disable tracks, soloing groups and audible percentage of non-soloed tracks, multi-record, Input quantize, clippings, Interapplication MIDI and a dozen other interesting DP features that show DP's multitude of features.
10) Movie - and all the top killer features DP possesses in that department.
11) This list goes to 11. The DP manual (it's history, who wrote it, size and overall awesomeness). A top 10 list wouldn't be complete without mentioning the manual.
