Damn, I'll do it, but I'd probably want at least $20... LOL

I'll do it for $10. I need some rolling tobacco. Stupid California taxes.

I'll do it for the rolling papers if they're filled...

Shooshie

Thanks for the input, however, how much of this normalcy do you attribute to DP7, and how much to Snopard?

As per my sources and interactions and research--- Snow Leopard fixes about 80-85% of issues talked about on this board. The other 15-20% seem to be related to DP6.x itself. Things like direct VI bounce (with some direct connection to pre-rendering) are more reliable in DP7 now.

Well, I haven't really had time to do much in the way of a throrough review, but I can say that I'm having a very good experience with it on my G5 and Leopard... a situation in which Snow Leopard doesn't figure into it at all. I'm liking this version a lot... feels very solid and I haven't messed with many of the guitar emulations and probably won't but just today I threw a mono > stereo instance of MOTU's new stompbox emulation of the old Boss chorus (Analog Chorus) and it is killer. I would have paid money just for that plug. The Channel Strip is very useful and the pre-rendering feels more reliable.

I notice no real increase in processor hit for me either. Also digging the fact that fade files are a thing of the past.

James--I wouldn't take your performance improvements lightly. As you said, your situation leaves out a lot of interesting hardware and software considerations, such as Intel/SL. Your perception of what works better will be different from those who've tried SL on Intel--- but that YOU are experiencing favorable performance speaks more to DP7 than anything else.

Let me say this, too--- before this forum completely splits itself into factions of PPC-ers vs Intel-ers, it will be very important to keep tabs of what DP7 has accomplished on all operating systems and CPU models.

Didn´t read anything about Waves so let´s ask..
DP7 and WAVES?? Does it work or not?? Please say "YES"

For you, Radiogal, I'll say "YES".

Now-- for the truth. LOL!!

Actually, Shooshie reported no problems with his Waves bundle. I think Waxman had a frustrating issue but he might not have tried Shooshie's installation checks at that point. Don't think he's come back with a progress report.

But it sounds like you're in luck.

Anyone using snow leopard ewqlso Play and dp7 yet? The last I checked Play wasn't officially supported on SL.

I think it actually would be a very good idea if we eventually have separate threads for DP7/PPC and DP7/Intel

Pre Render:
I have a few giant older sessions that play perfectly until I bounce in 6.02 w/leopard or snow leopard, then things like tom fills don't time properly so I'm hoping disk access is more streamlined in bounce.

Anyone else in southern Wisconsin playing around with this or am I all alone up here?

Not yet David, but I will be installing it on a DualCore 2.3 running Tiger with 3GB RAM as soon as mine arrives.
Believe it or not, I just found out about the upgrade - I'd been moving, etc.
So it may be a few days before that happens.

I agree, need to know how DP v.7 will run on a PPC with 10.4.11 Keep us posted, I haven't upgraded yet until I hear from the first brave sole to load it on a PPC with Tiger.
