Of course, it is the generation that grew up with 16-bit CD audio and listen to most of their music on MP3s so a great guitar tone might bite them in the keester unaware.
Only one thing better is the look on their face when they play their 1st E5 power chord through distortion!!!

Did anyone else see this on the MOTU website? 64bit floating point audio on the Master Fader plug-ins.
I did see this. But the description is a mix of new DP 7 features and features from DP 6. I don't suppose the master fader in DP 6 was 64 bit, but even more difficult to figure out is how the mastering plugins mentioned figure into the 64 bit claim, and how that might be supported on a G5 (not to mention a G4)

DP's Dynamics plug-in has had a side-chain input for as long as I can remember, for one.
MAS has had sidechain capability for a long time; the difference now is that MOTU's now supporting it in Audio Units in DP - but like I said a few posts back, this was a new feature in DP 6. I'm not sure why they're mentioning it for DP 7.
MIDI side chain maybe? MOTU might have gotten the terms wrong etc. Most hosts haven't support MIDI streaming between AU's just VSTs. Reactor VST in Live for instance can stream it's MIDI sequencers to other tracks in Live. It's a great thing for those of us that like to use old school step sequencers in Reactor, and have a few analog synths lying around.
M2 Studio Ultra, RME Babyface FS, Slate Raven Mti2, NI SL88 MKII, Linnstrument, MPC Live II, Launchpad MK3. Hundreds of plug ins.

That already put it close to 3 bills.
?? I didn't.
The only reason I did is because If I had shipped regular it always gets held hostage a the boarder buy UPS.
They use to send me stuff via post buts that's no longer an option.
Even Fedx would be better.

Yes, I've had the same problem with UPS, I'd forgotten about it. They'll also bill you for the box that MOTU put DP in if they can get away with it. The solution is to find a business address that you can have it sent to. Preferably a large business with a shipping and receiving dept. They'll tell UPS to get stuffed.
I'm just a lil` disappointed at the moment........ I placed an order for the DP7 upgrade immediately just before authoring the very first post announcing the release of DP7 and my credit card was charged at that time. Today I called MOTU just to get an idea when they're going to ship and I was told next week. Next week!!!!!! Now I'm not nor have I ever been a basher of MOTU but this is a bit outside of the realm of reasonable.
I've been a faithful customer for MANY years and I imagine that I will continue to be but come on, don't tie my cash up like that without my permission because I could have purchased some other goodies while I'm waiting for this one!

Next WEEK?? What the heck? Why do they have the OPTION of 1-2 business days, if really that IS NOT an option??? WHY did I stupidly pay for that??? Oh well. Still looking forward to it.
I probably missed it in the 22 pages of this fast moving thread, and a search turned up nothing. I'm a little mystified as to why the analysis tools marketed with the firewire interfaces do not seem to be included in DP7 as traditional plug-ins? Kindly point out the discussion, if you know where it might be.

I don't know. Maybe, just maybe because the analysis tools I believe rely on onboard DSP in the firewire interfaces and porting them to be native plugs was more than MOTU wanted to deal with? I mean if the issue were important to me and I wanted to venture a guess. Did they ever make any mention of including them in DP7?
Who knows, but it may be no trivial matter to have ported them over to native versions and MOTU must have thought this was not a huge priority while they were in the midst of DP7 development. Until now I can't really remember seeing much demand to add those plug-ins as native in DP. I have Inspector XL myself.

It's very likely that they are shipping now, but that the orders have already backed them up to next week. My account was charged yesterday (Monday) It finally went through my bank at Midnight, but their bank probably posted it during the day. That generally means they shipped it, so it should be here tomorrow (Wednesday, 9/16). We'll see.

Maybe so. It's never been mentioned to my knowledge. Just seems odd it exists only in the FW devices. As many analysis tools as exist these days, I'd think it'd be seen as good added value. I use Spectrafoo, and it would be good added value even to me.
