No inline phase switch, but there's always Trim. The channel strip plugins allow you to select between Masterworks EQ, or 2, 4, or 8 band EQ (regular MAS EQ). In the dynamics plugin, you can select between Dynamics, MW Gate, MW Limiter, MW Compressor, or MW Leveler. I like the Leveler and MW EQ.
Ok. I've been busy since yesterday afternoon, and DP7 is EXCELLENT. Don't be afraid of it. I'll write more when I can. First, someone asked for screenshots. Here are some:
The new Channel Strip in action. Notice that you can make it multi-columnar, or single if you have a tall space to fill.
MIDI Edit Window - more extensive controls up at the top, plus double-line readouts.
Mixing Board. Note Channel Strips with EQ and Leveler.
Quickscribe: notice lyrics and text boxes. You get to name the font and style, and you can put the boxes anywhere. This was a hurry-up job just to take a screenshot and demonstrate the concept.
Ivory: Debussy Prelude - La Cathedrale Engloutie Quick bounce just to show that it's working fine.
Ibert: Concertino da Camera Another quick bounce to show MSI, Wallander's WIVI, and VSL strings all working together just fine. I had to freeze MSI.
Please do not judge the mix or balance on the Ibert; I basically threw the instruments on there. It was created for a completely different set of VI's, and would need replaying and/or balancing to make it sound decent.
This is all kind of rushed, just to show you what's here. I can't possibly show it all. You just need to get this upgrade. I think it's better than DP6.02 in Snow Leopard, but that's an opinion, of course. I'll have to give reasons and specifics later.
Let me just finish by saying this thing rocks. I'm already addicted to the channel strip.
MOTU has done well. We can relax and be happy about this.
