If they improve on the new Clippings feature, so they are more like Live's in terms of features and usefulness, ir would basically guarantee new sales and new young customers right there. MachFive3, which has basically been abandoned, should be improved and added as part of DP. How about adding mute buttons and an M/S facility in Trim? and a slick RMS/Peak/LUFS meter? Hell, how about adding an M/S facility to ALL their plugins as a feature, like so many vendors do?ДЄlso, optional x4 oversampling should be added to all the non-linear function plugins (and add a new and awesome saturation/distortion one, while you're at it). Trim should be added to be part of the mixer below the pan pots, just like VEP does, so one can control any aspect of the stereo image right there, with instant visual feedback, without opening anything. Same with the Dynamic EQ (which is otherwise awesome)> Why not add an external side chain with filters in there too? It would instantaneously make them twice as useful and versatile! It's hard to believe MW EQ doesn't have a mere output gain knob for the crucial task of matching the loudness when bypassed, or that the MW compressor doesn't have an external side chain, let alone a side chain filter. For instance, the included plugins are nowhere near as useful as they could be, especially if you compare them to what the competition has to offer. The increased new sales alone would pay their salaries easily.ДЄbout DP being more 'modernized', I agree it needs a major overhaul in quite a few areas. I know they're a small company, but not that small that they couldn't afford this. MOTU can definitely use a couple more programmers.

This is especially annoying when it's obvious that just a little more time and love from the programmers could quickly and easily fix these things, making them much more useful and attractive for everyone.

There are just 2 things that really annoy me about MOTU/DP> That they seem to take forever to do needed updates (especially lately) and that DP is full of things that almost work but not quite. It has taken many steps in the right direction lately, and it has grabbed quite a few new users along the way. Again, I love DP and hate the feeling that while so many serious pros use it, itвЂ™s on borrowed time (I am also well aware that users have been scared of this for decades).Дoes MOTU have the ability to do a substantial overhaul of DP to вЂњmodernizeвЂќ it but believe that doing so would eliminate or alienate its loyal customer base? Or is DP so low on their list of profitable products that they donвЂ™t really care? If they think itвЂ™s just fine the way it is then why would they continue to release these updates and put up flashy product web pages? I know full well that most of you are far more informed and better positioned to opine on this than I am, so IвЂ™d love to hear some thoughts from anyone who feels this is a worthy subject for discussion. I like the newer scaling/zoom feature but to me it doesnвЂ™t solve what I perceive as the bigger problem of most all elements being just too small in general. It seems to me that all of DPвЂ™s overwhelming strengths over other DAWs (at least for many users) come from decades in the past, and no substantial вЂњupgradeвЂќ would be any sort of gamechanger for power users such as many of you. I try to keep up with the updates and from my perspective it looks like MOTU is doing little but making half-baked efforts to match features of вЂњcompetingвЂќ DAWвЂ™s (clip window, having MIDI clips, etc.) and adding esoteric plugins that do not fill any gaps users havenвЂ™t already filled through third party plugs. I havenвЂ™t been using DP nearly as much as I used to, but as I grew up with it and use it for all compositional projects I have a lot of love for it.

I have generally been a lurker here except for my post in 2014 about selection of MIDI notes which spurred a good deal of discussion.
