Motu Digital Performer 8 For Mac
Mark Of The Unicorn's Digital Performer v10. MOTU’s much-loved DAW Digital Performer has reached version 10. Launched at NAMM, the upgrade adds many new features, including a fully scalable UI, virtual VCA Faders for advanced sub-grouping and maintenance of relative levels while mixing, a new sample-accurate waveform editor, and a audio and MIDI Clips window for easy live triggering and real. Digital Performer's Bounce to Disk feature now allows you to batch export audio stems and mixes faster than ever with both real-time and faster-than-real-time (off-line) mixdown operations. Bounce multiple tracks and/or outputs in a single operation for fast, convenient delivery of stems for your productions. It originated in the mid-'80s as a MIDI sequencing package for Apple computers called Performer, and has evolved through numerous iterations to the current incarnation: Digital Performer 8. Throughout that history, DP has attracted a dedicated following, especially in the world of music for picture. Installs latest drivers and software for all MOTU video products; Supports Mac OS X version 10.6.8 - 10.9.5 (no current support for 10.10 and later) Provides compatibility for: Apple Final Cut Pro 6, 7 and X; Avid Media Composer/Symphony 6, 6.5 and 7. For Mac Users: Digital Performer 8 launches in 64-bit mode by default, in which case it will only detect 64-bit Plug-Ins. If you would like to continue using your 32-bit Plug-Ins in Digital Performer 8, you may launch it in 32-bit mode.
Left brain, right brain. Digital Performer 8 is designed equally for both, with insiprational features devised to ignite your creative muse, combined with state-of-the-art studio production technologies engineered for the most demanding, world-class recording and production environments. Make no mistake: beneath Digital Performer’s inspired user interface lies a refined audio recording and mixing engine with uncompromising devotion to the absolute highest standards in audio quality, down to the very last sample.
Enjoy 64-bit or 32-bit operation
Today’s plug-ins and virtual instruments are incredibly powerful, but they also require massive amounts of memory. Digital Performer’s 64-bit support ensures that you can take full advantage of all the memory space in your computer for optimum performance from your MOTU desktop studio.
Award-winning design and features for Windows
Version 8 brings Digital Performer’s award-winning design and features to Windows 7 and beyond. Operation is almost identical to the Mac version, making it easy to work on either platform.
From creative musical effects to precision mastering
From meticulously modeled guitar tones to world-class mastering processors, Digital Performer’s 17 new plug-ins add to an astonishing array of over 80 included effects. You get everything from modeled analog EQ to stunningly realistic convolution reverb.
Artistically crafted UI designs to titillate your muse
Other audio sequencer applications give you shades of gray. Digital Performer gives you dozens of artistically crafted user interface themes that completely transform the look of the app. From the whimsical “Hi Fi” to the sinister “None More Black”, you can instantly choose a style that fits your mood.
Take the stress out of punch-ins
Never again worry about accidentally cutting off the head or tail of that perfect record pass. Digital Performer’s new Punch Guard features always captures extra time before and after punch points, so you can simply uncover any additional material with a simple edge edit.
Goodbye Carbon, Hello Cocoa
Many of the third-party plug-ins you’ll use everyday with Digital Performer are in the process of being converted from Carbon to Mac OS X’s ultra-modern Cocoa UI platform, and Digital Performer is 100% ready to host them. Cocoa is the future, and Digital Performer is there.
New video playback engine
Audio for picture as it’s meant to be
Enjoy full-screen viewing of 720 or 1080 HD video clips on a primary or secondary computer monitor, or on a conventional HDMI or SDI video monitor connected to a MOTU video interface like the HD Express or HDX-SDI.
Conserve precious screen real estate
You can now embed the control panel in the consolidated window to conserve screen space. Customize what appears, including the shortcut buttons and editor tools. Pop it in or out at any time.
Organize and manage all your plug-ins
Version 8’s new plug-in chooser lets you organize and quickly find the effect or preset you are looking for. You can also organize all your plug-ins, factory and third-party alike, just the way you prefer, regardless of format.
Run third-party VSTs and Rewire clients
With support for VST plug-ins and Rewire on both Mac and Windows, you can easily move DP projects from one platform to the other seamlessly, with no additional steps required. Just open the project and go.
Precise control of frequency,
volume and dynamics
Dynamic Equalizer combines multi-band EQ with dynamics processing and volume control. Three parametric bands and two shelving bands each provide both volume control and a full-featured compressor, complete with lookahead that can be set to different values for each frequency band. Use the realtime FFT display and solo each band as you perfect the balance and dynamic response across the frequency spectrum. The result? Clarity, balance, and punch, especially for broad-band audio material, such as a drum set or full mix.
Correct delay and phasing issues with one click
Precision Delay's unique, breakthrough design helps you phase-align complex signals. For example, if you record a guitar amp or an acoustic instrument from two different mics placed at different distances, the time delay between them will likely cause phase issues that make the two channels sound hollow or affected by a comb-filter-like rasp when played together. The solution? Feed both signals into Precison Delay and click the ALIGN button. Precision Delay performs complex, real-time analysis on the signals to determine phase similarities, then instantly aligns the signals with sub-sample precision. You can further adjust the alignment manually to find the 'sweet spot' to your ears.
Mid-side processing for vinyl mastering and beyond
Spatial Maximizer takes a stereo signal and gives you independent control over center (mid) content versus the panned (side) content. Applications go way beyond prepping final mixes for vinyl mastering with side band high-pass filtering and mid band bass enhancement. Each band can be independently processed with a full-featured, five-band dynamic equalizer, allowing you to mould and shape any stereo track or mix. Enjoy dramatic levels of control over the stereo spectrum and spatial impression of a complete stereo mix, or individual tracks within a stereo mix.
Precise removal of unwanted frequencies
De-essing is the process of removing unwanted sibilance from a vocal track. Based on a dynamic peaking EQ for adaptive de-essing, Digital Performer's De-Esser lets you quickly zero in on the offending frequencies and surgically reduce them. Work graphically with adjustable sensitivity and look-ahead, which effectively anticipates fast sibilance. De-Esser can also be useful for selectively gating narrow-band noise and smoothing high-gain guitar tracks in the 2k to 4k band.

Kick drum enhancer
Motu Monitor 8
Shake the walls, or simply add a little oomph to your kick drum track. Subkick produces synthesized sub-bass frequencies, triggered by a kick drum or similar transient-laden, rhythmic audio signal. How low can you go? That's up to you, but if there are plate glass windows around (or other breakables), use with caution! When you watch the Subkick movie, be sure to run the movie soundtrack through beefy speakers, preferably equipped with a decent sub-woofer.
Vintage spring tank reverb
Made popular by that twangy, 1960's surf rock guitar sound, spring reverb adds unmistakable flavor to any instrument or track. Springamabob provides authentic reproduction of three different spring tanks: long double, long triple, and short triple.

A unique twist
on the chorus effect
Looking like an alien spacecraft console, Ensemble Chorus subtly transforms vocal tracks or instruments into richly chorused multiple voices spread across the stereo soundstage. An ideal companion to ProVerb, it can also be used effectively as a stand-alone processor for thickening up a group of voices, making a guitar swirl, or other chorusing effects. Results range from subtle and refined to drastic and bizarre. With this processor, let your imagination go…

my DP5 always crash i can't even count how many times. it crash while editing vocals, pitch correction, sometimes on mixing, even if i only have like 4 tracks and 1 built in plugin from DP im always worried it would crash while im working, mostly if im already doing a complex project and has too many effects and edits, i cant afford to bounce the tracks one by one just to get rid of the effects and lessen the cpu usage cause most of the time i dont go more than 50% percent for the cpu usage. I already tried installing my DP5 to 3 different Imac's, mine has i3 processor, the other two is i5, and yet, it all crashes.. they all have 10.6.8 mac osx. and im using motu traveler, and 896hd interface. now i have a bunch of 3rd party plug ins, like Waves. i know there's an issue about this plug in of being incompatible, and its a headache cause i always use the GTR3 toolrack, and the crash get worst. but i tried some solution deleting the audio unit cache preferences to disable the plugin problem. but even before i get crashes without the waves plugin. i dont really want to upgrade to DP7, im happy with DP5 cause i can do everything that i can think of. im a sound engineer,producer,arranger and this is my main work and i do this for a living. so please help me cause i can't work this way.. i invested for imacs just to use DP5, and i dont want any software, ive tried mostly all of them, DP5 is the best (if theres no single crash) compared to Pro tools 9 or other DAW! and one more.. after getting hundreds of crashes/force quit of my DP5, this is the first time i posted on a forum with my concern,im looking forward for some help and i would really appreciate it!! thank you!
