MOTU Digital Performer 6 promises to be a major upgrade to the MOTU flagship digital audio sequencer (DAW). MOTU DP6 features a redesigned user interface, which includes the ability to zoom in the track window.
Two new signal processing plug-ins are included: MOTU Pro Verb, a convolution reverb that MOTU says is very CPU efficient, and Masterworks Leveler, a dynamics processor that models the classic LA-2A. A new, and very flexible track comping feature is also included. It gives you plenty of control for comping takes, and it even lets you comp your comps.
MOTU Digital Performer 6 will also include support for Broadcast WAV files, which means your sequence’s audio files no longer need to be in Sound Designer II format. Also included is support for Final Cut Pro XML files, allowing you easily edit your video’s audio track in DP6. Another key addition is the ability to burn CDs directly from MOTU DP6.
MOTU Digital Performer 6 (DP 6) is scheduled for release Q1 2008.
