VST3 support has been added for those of you who have the cutting edge plugin libraries (extremely important for Windows users). The waveform editor now toggles between views with astonishing speed and simplicity - giving you access to precise audio edits one moment, and pitch correction the next. There are a boatload of smaller enhancements that will absolutely make longtime users grin from ear to ear. I liked this feature a whole lot more than I thought I would. The clips window takes some of the more advanced features of clip-based music production and makes them a whole lot more accessible. Digital Performer was already a backing track/production powerhouse but now I think its reach will go even further. This allows you to visibly verify what clips are playing next, and gives you even more ‘live control’ over the audio playback. Now, when you play a clip it gets added to a visible ‘queue’ at the bottom of the window. The ‘Queue’ window at the bottom is absolute genius. There are most definitely a bunch of improvements to the ‘genre’ (Have DAWs evolved so much that they can fall into ‘genres’ now? I think they have!) that are evident. Much like GarageBand for iOS, Digital Performer is the next DAW to integrate an ‘Ableton Live-Like’ interface for creating, performing, remixing, and arranging music. The clips window is probably the most ‘revolutionary’ change to Digital Performer. Score one for those of us who work with live audio! Speaking Of Live DP has always been my best solution for this, and it just got even easier. I frequently have to make a live track match the beat grid by creating a tempo map. The new Beat Detection engine works hand in hand with the Stretch Track function, and those of you that wind up wanting to click out live audio are going to love it. Oh, and did I mention it sounds fantastic? I was definitely able to push the audio more than 20bpm without hearing a slew of unwanted ‘zipper’ effects. It’s easy to use, it’s easy to find, and it’s easy to verify whether it’s on or not at a quick glance. You have complete control of audio either conforming or not conforming when you drop it into an audio track, and you can enable/disable the functionality with 2 quick clicks. The Stretch Edit layer in DP feels very much like a ‘happy medium’ between the two.

I’ve always found the Pro Tools method to be a bit time consuming (except for you DAW ninjas out there, you know who you are!) and I’ll be honest - I frequently get frustrated with Logic Pro’s “user friendly to an absurd degree” variant.
The ‘Stretch Edit’ layer that has been implemented in DP10 is, quite possibly, my favorite use of time/pitch stretching in a DAW. You’re still going to want to augment your library with some great dedicated virtual instruments, but DP finally has a ‘factory library’ included that will ‘fill all the holes’ and give you quick access to sounds when you don’t want to dig into your personal massive collection. It’s exactly what you need to compliment the wonderful factory synths that already ship with DP. The instruments themselves have minimalist controls, and utilize a ridiculously low footprint of CPU power to run.

When you buy DP10, you get a large variety containing hundreds of instruments all expertly sampled that run in the free UVI workstation format. I had long advocated for MachFive 3 (MOTU’s awesome sampler instrument) to be included as a ‘bundle’ with Digital Performer, but this is even better. Everything from acoustic pianos to strings is now included with DP10.
Now DP has included some really great synths with versions past, I’ve always been a big fan of MX4, but with the MOTU Instruments Soundbank you now have access to a whole slew of sampled sounds. One of the biggest ‘tentpole features’ that Digital Performer 10 brings to the table is one that I’ve been anxiously awaiting for some time: an instruments soundbank. I was eager to see how these changes had been implemented, but I integrated Digital Performer 10 into my workflow for a solid few weeks before I started writing about it. With version 10, a whole new gallery of instruments, effects, and ways of recording music have been implemented to launch DP10 into the modern age of production.

Mark of the Unicorn dropped a fairly large bombshell of features in the latest update to their flasgship DAW, Digital Performer.
