#Digital performer 6.0 driver#

If you go to the driver page of Focusrite, they have the version of the AppleFWAudio driver they recommend for each version of Tiger so that might help, although I'd check with the manufacturer of whatever interface you use. Haven't used DP6 yet, but if your having inappropriate CPU spikes with Logic, make sure your computer has the appropriate AppleFWAudio driver for your version of Tiger and your interface (most firewire interfaces rely on this apple driver). I have to be honest and say I have found LP8 in Tiger to be quite difficult - loads of annoying CPU spikes and inappropriate Logic CPU core usage - when compared with the activity Monitor.? I have had better results in leopard - but still Logic seems to max out cores and have others running relatively low. So my question is 1 - what do others think of this function who have used it?Īnd 2 - how does DP fare in comparison to Logic on the electronic music composition AND mixing? Is this a viable transition? What say ye? Should I forget this heresy and keep trying to sort out Logic?Īnd 2 - how does DP fare in comparison to Logic on the electronic music composition AND mixing?

Check this thread out: With a function like this - I can see the ability to use multiple CPU intensive plugins in a mix much easier. Realistically tho you only want to play 1 plugin real-time at one time anyways.The other thing it - Ive recently been testing Nebula3Pro - and it sounds AWESOME. This can only be done on plugins you dont want to play in real-time. A bit like freezing but without the wait and hassel. It sounds to me like an amazing idea - where in the backgroud DP will pre-render your plugin and plugin instrument tracks (as allocated by you) so that on playback there is very low CPU load. So the thing about DP6 that has got me interested is this new 'Pre-Gen' function.
