Where (and maybe why) are people getting 10.10.4? Probably not quite the right OS to try out a x.0.0 version of an application like DP.

10.10.4 is a beta version.
I'm running that on my i5 MBP.
10.10.3 on the quad core i7 Mini.

It's all useful information.

I'm only seeing the electronic delivery option there.

What specifically? Not seeing any screen redraw issues so far.

This, though: When a channel/track is not enabled, or does not have a valid I/O setup, the fader does not show in the mixer or channel strip, although the readout is still there and reflects the fader level. Happens across several themes. What's the point of that?

Yes, I know but, since the price is no different and click-throughs help support this web site, I will order through Sweetwater when I can. I expect that they'll get back to me tomorrow.

Great idea Mike. I've got the demo running, so there's a whole month to get a license, and getting it via Sweetwater can only help the cause.

Beg to disagree. I can't knock DP9 because there's an issue on an OS version that's not a true public release version.

I suppose it's useful to the QA people at Apple and MOTU. At this point I don't see how it's useful to us.

I'm curious about one thing. The new MIDI learn feature... does it work on V-Racks and if so does that make V-Racks somewhat automatable, in that you can have a plugin in a V-Rack and record MIDI tracks to automate it?

True enough. Being an Apple developer, I'll bet MOTU has a machine at their disposal running 10.10.4 and that issue wasn't considered a "show stopper" for the scheduled release considering it IS a beta and there are very few DP users running a beta version of Mac OS, which I'd consider somewhat risky anyway if I were dependent on my studio.

Either it's Apple's problem and they will fix this prior to the 10.10.4 public release or it will be up to MOTU to do so with DP 9.1, which, given past history, probably will follow quickly as you can beta test as much as you can, but it's inevitable more bugs will surface once an app is distributed to thousands of users.
