DP10 Comment to MOTU
I have been using DP now since it was just a MIDI app years ago. This version to me has surpassed my wildest imagination as to quality of sound and productive accomplishment. I know there are still a few features I wish were implemented but for this user, I applaud the MOTU spirit of development and see myself using it always.
Cheers MOTU,

Sometimes if one presses the submit button twice it will create a double post. It usually gives a warning a new post has already been made. Strange.

Re: DP10 Comment to MOTU
I've been using it for about a week, coming straight from DP 7.24 on OS 10.6.8. I've never waited this long to upgrade, but I really liked my old system before my 2008 Mac Pro kicked the bucket. I ended up getting the cheapest iMac Pro I could order. Hopefully, it will prove to have the horsepower I need for a while to come. So far, so good. Still have to get some external drives, etc. However, it is very clear to me that this version of DP is quite amazing. Also, really digging my MOTU M4. It's quite a jump from Snow Leopard to Catalina.
