DP9 now shipping.

This means that you can do things like "Click track 1 then hold-shift and click track 10" to make a selection of tracks 1-10 now.

The Sequence window didn't support these basic things before. It was really frustrating.

Put another way: track selection in the SE window now follows common Apple conventions, as it already did in the TO window.

Works the opposite for me with the ⌘ and ⇧ keys reversed from the way they work in the TO window.

They both work the same here for me. Shift is contiguous selection, cmd is non-contiguous selection.

• Made track selections in the Sequence Editor more like in the Tracks Overview.

Worth the price of admission alone! I use the Tracks Overview as my primary window precisely because Sequence View didn't support this easy selection!

Now I won't have to use Tracks Overview during the editing or mixing phase of a project, or at least not very much.

I also won't need to do split view as much, enabling me to stick with taller tracks in Sequence View more of the time.

Of all the changes I see listed, this one will speed up my workflow the most.

Do you care to elaborate a bit more on this? I don't fully understand this improvement, maybe because I use consolidate window with 8 tracks of the mixer that automatically jumps to my track selection.

Thanks!

Oh!

Understood.

Thanks.

This is another huge good thing for me as I had issues with this as I posted here before with DP8. Track selection more like every other program (not just daw) out there.

I think I found a bug/glitch in DP9.
When Rewired to Reason, from the moment I record something from Reason, the volume automatically doubles and even clips without even changing any volume.
I tested this in DP8 and this doesn't happen so must be a DP9 bug.
If anybody uses Reason, please test this in DP9 and confirm.
Thanks.

Out of curiosity, do you also have Slate VMR on that track? I've had that same exact problem with VMR's Trimmer. Sometimes it's on sometimes it's off. Whatever it feels like doing.

I'm really interested in DP9 (been awaiting it's release), however, I can't seem to find a link to the User Manual (Guide) on the MOTU website.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nope! Just Reason in an aux track.
Must be a bug.

DP9 IS STRONG!!!

I put DP9 through hell today. I could not crash it. Opening and closing plugins while playing back and recording, adding instruments, tracks, reassigning tracks and adding plugin after plugin while recording and DP9 never crashed. It already feels like a workhorse. Actually DP9 feels more like DP8.5, but no matter..

Bravo MOTU. Maybe there could have been a few more features but the ones that were added are very good and for so far on my system it's the most stable version of DP yet (and 8.0x was already very good).

I still need to put DP9 through it's paces with VEP, but so far so good.

Very happy and proud to be a DP user today.

Easiest to access the pdf files from DP 9. There are a number of them. The easiest way is to download the demo and access them from the Help menu. You can save copies in your Documents folder for viewing without having DP up.

Also (on a Mac, at least) you can go to Recent Items and reopen the .pdf files without DP starting up again.

AFAIK, they don't offer the PDF as a separate download.

It's installed along with DP, and you access it via the 'Help' menu.

MOTU offers a free 30-day trial, which might be the only way to get it. On my Mac, the PDF opens in Preview, which allows you to locate the PDF file and copy it to another destination for reading when DP is not running.

To add to this thread, the pdf can be opened with Preview and saved to your cloud. I have the DP8 manuals on my iPad and iPhone and I read them in iBooks.

After opening the pdf, hold down the Option key and choose Save as.., then save it in your documents folder. Then open your documents folder and with iTunes open, drag the file into the upper right side of iTunes and it will be put in your Books library (and Books folder - which can be found in your iTunes directory). From there you can select it to as a pdf to be put in iBooks via sync.

You can also just email it to your phone, or in Preview click on the share button and either email, message or use AirDrop. Once it's in the cloud you've got it everywhere, which is very handy.

One thing that's just awesome is being able to not worry about being first in line for the upgrade.
The 30 day demo and new emailed registration numbers is a great thing.

Things that are huge time savers for me are:

The buffer settings being in the transport bar. Considering I switch between songs I'm mixing down and songs I haven't finished composing, this is huge.

Mute MIDI notes. <-- workarounds are cool, but at some point...

the new Learn MIDI - V-Racks are a no brainer at this point.

The way they implemented floating plug in windows is brilliant. The big advantage of the non floating windows is they do not disappear when DP is not the application in focus. So for instance you can have Kontakt or Maschine, other huge GUI plug ins etc. on a separate desktop in OSX which is not possible or difficult with floating plug in windows.

Oh boy, this new enhancement is a biggie for me:

In the MIDI editor, you can now toggle between all the continuous data!! Press for example 2,3 or 4 (not on numpad). You then toggle between modulation, expression, volume etc etc.

In the commands it's listed as Edit Custom Controller (also Edit Expression). Don't know what Edit in Place is.

This is HUGE, thanks Motu for listening!

Cool! You can also assign Edit Previous and Edit Next Parameter commands. ...maybe you could before too? Anyway that's great.
