As I was watching my kids in the park
I see this UPS truck
and as it drives by
I realize an orange florescent paper
on the back left side of the truck that says THINK SAFETY!

It can only be that this driver is actually using DP and he snached MY copy installed it and for some reason he's hinting something about being safe?!? :shock:

My UPS driver didn't even stop at his usual places on my street today. In fact, he sped up when he passed my house. :x

How did sonus, in Athens, Greece, manage to get the first copy? :shock:

And where the heck is our review!?!?! It has been almost 12 hours since sonus reported going to the studio to install it. Where are you sonus? I'm getting impatient already. :?

Yeah, what's up with that? Not that I'm complaining; I haven't even ordered my copy yet. This is the first time I haven't rushed to get the upgrade. I think I'll give it a month or so. Still, I'm very interested to hear some feedback and reviews.

Yes I could but its encrypted with CIA code and it will take you thousands of years to decode plus it will make your hair fall out.

Well, I did post a copy and yes the CIA code is in place.

As for sonus, well he IS in Greece and that's on the other side of the world (well, 1/2 way there) and the only person awake in that hemisphere is ...

oppps! Wrong hemisphere! But kassonica is still the only one awake on the other side of the Atlantic.

Please, let us know your impressions with using it - performance, any VI issues, crashing or not, MIDI weirdness, if it works at all...etc. Plus, what is this "included UVI engine" thing? A demo?

Cycling '74's Pluggo works! I couldn't get it to work in DP5.

I LOVE the resizing of the tracks window!

I'm digging the nifty "TAP PAD." You just click the tempo with your mouse and the tempo adjusts. Works great.

The UVI Workstation thing is just a little sampler - it loads up as a V.I. It loads REX files (among everything else). That's cool because I can load REX files into DP without having to do the Reason thing.

No crashes, no weirdness. Loaded old files no problem.

Quite gorgeous looking (in my opinion) - very streamlined. Haven't really gone through all the Proverb settings yet, nor the new compressor.

Naw, no learning curve necessary. Cosmetically at first glance you wouldn't know it's DP. It's very elegant looking as you can see.

If you know DP5, you'll know DP6 - no problem.

Thanks for posting the screenshot!

I just spent the last days in a Pro Tools session. Gotta admit, DP6 has the best looking GUI of any DAW now. Puts the rest to shame. BTW, the studio engineer was doing the usual ragging on DP, I told him he might want to take a look at DP6, and he wasn't even aware it existed.
