For sure, I'm in my 50's and one of the younger people that regularly meet up on zoom to chat about DP, the rest are an older crowd which is both good and bad. There are a few millennials but not many. None of them use or care about the Clips features, so that getting refined is probably lost in the wind, but we all help each other out with technical issues in terms of understanding the DAW or maybe some OS issue etc. Yeah and the fact that Autechre and Coil were big fans always made me happy. Not to mention Danny Elfman.Thanks for the write up！I just opened abunch of DP videos after reading to get a gist of what it's like. TBH, the main reason I'm interested is cause it's an obscure daw plus it seems a lot of old professionals use it (including multiple producers I admire from 2000s) lol
FYI the Machfive Sampler was a collaboration between MOTU and UVI, at some point 5 years ago I believe the collaboration ended. Machfive has been deprecated, and UVI took the code back to make Falcon. I always wonder how that worked out for MOTU? since it was obvious they had a large stake in the basic code and implementation of Machfive, and Falcon is obviously using the same code? but MOTU and UVI are still friendly, a UVI player MOTU instruments soundbank of sampler instruments is included with DP11.Cubase is indeed a do everything daw, I still learn new things everyday. I've tried most daws but never gave DP a go. Their Mach5 sampler can load all akai/roland/scds/old formats similar to Cubase's Halion sampler, and save them as patches I heard. I also heard there was some advance midi editing features I need to go watch some of the videos I opened lol
Another FYI, apparently UVI didnt' want to pay Chicken Systems to translate all those old sample formats, so Falcon doesn't have that feature anymore. I went ahead and bought Chicken Systems Translator, I think they have Black Friday sales? IMO it's worth it, but I have a TON of random sample libraries from years of collecting.
DP does a few pretty cool MIDI things, preview built into the quantize pop up window, lots of obscure things like auto tuning for hardware synths, a search function that lets you choose every third beat for instance and a specific note, which I've used more often than I thought I would. There is a decent community these days. That used to be a sore point, but only because IMO of a certain crotchety old piano player who dominated the main independent forum for years. He no longer posts much so...
