![]() The Rocket Science bundle goes to version 3.5.2 and gets similar improvements, while the Nautilus 2.5.2 bundle has a number of improvements to the great granular synthesis plug-in, Riverrun. Altiverb is updated to version 6.1.1 and offers a Leopard-compatible installer, amongst other fixes. In recent weeks and months, Audio Ease have been busy posting updates to their DP-friendly plug-ins and bundles. However, for me (and many other users, I suspect) the two real 'biggies' in DP6 are instrument pre-rendering and the user interface changes. The enhanced audio file support and CD burning is something that everyone will benefit from, and it's great to see the Virus TI supported in DP at last, especially as similar hardware/software tie-ins seem to be all the rage these days. Decent track comping couldn't have come a moment too soon (especially since I'd tried and failed about three times to write a good Performer workshop article about best practice in DP5 and previous versions!). The lack of a good bundled reverb and compressor plug-in had always been unfortunate, but the new ones seem to make up for that and then some. In a word, wow! DP6 appears to directly address the weaker areas of previous versions without trying to reinvent the wheel, as it were. When DP is running concurrently with Final Cut Pro on a single Mac, entire projects can be exported into Final Cut Pro. XML file interchange with Final Cut Pro, so that its edit lists can be viewed in DP6 and any subsequent changes highlighted in the time ruler.Improved Audio Unit performance, promising sample-accurate third-party virtual instrument timing, full audio side-chaining, and support for MIDI-aware Audio Units such as the Virus Control plug-in for the Access Virus TI synth.The possibility of running AUs that fail the examination process will also be offered. A plug-in management system, administered from Preferences, allowing plug-in sets to be created and the AU examination process to be re-run on demand. ![]()
