Thank you! Blimey, what a friendly board! :-)
Good choice too, especially if you're still the practical guy you were a few years back. DP is more "old school" in its approach in many ways, and is configured more logically than the competition, IMHO.
You know, I was just about to post this impression in my reply to Tonio above. I think that Logic looks the slicker out of the two apps but, so far, DP feels more "musical." I'm experimenting with the rubato capabilities, something I find very liberating.
That was you, wasn't it? I recognised your name straight away, as even though I didn't get to hear the White Town song (was it "Your Woman" or something?), I truly respected what you achieved with your cassette-based (8 track?) setup. Well done man, and again, welcome to your new home! :D
Yeah, I am me. 8)

And thanks again. Yep, all that stuff was done on a Tascam 688, great machine for the time. It was sequenced on a 520STFM using Sequencer One which came free on the cover of Atari Format magazine!
Seems like you already have a fan in UnicornLand, albeit in the unfortunate form of a rather mobile and agile furr ball. :lol:
Thank you and :oops:

I shall be annoying all of you with inane DP newbie questions shortly!

I was worried by all the threads about the GUI, moved features etc. but I took the plunge cos Logic was annoying me so much. And I'm glad, DP just feels so much more, um, logical and responsive. That may sound like a strange thing to say but I think every DAW is a different flavour of the same instrument. I'm not saying that, objectively, DP is *better* than Logic. Just that, in my short experience, it suits me more.

It's Les Paul vs. Strat or Andromeda vs. P08, innit? :D

Me too, Frodster. Did you notice that our pommy brothers didn't even recognise one of their own when the Monkster did? Tee hee.

Jyoti, it seems to me you have the "perfect" personality to fit right in here. Thank you for bringing your humble and gracious attitude to this, our haven of.. humble and gracious attitudes. LOL!

Don't feel bad about the newbie questions mate; we love 'em! :D
