Product description Which DAW is Right for You? Read More MOTU Digital Performer 10 is powerful audio/MIDI music production software offering unlimited tracks, sequences, and songs for songwriting, beat-making, live performance, film and video soundtracks, audio post production, surround mixing, and other professional audio production tasks. It provides versatile programming, recording, editing, arranging, mixing, processing, and mastering functions in a consolidated and customizable single-window workspace that streamlines workflows. Version 10 boasts: real-time clip importing and triggering for individual clips or multitrack groups; fast access to plug-ins, clips, and loops via a content browser; and flexible, transparent time stretching powered by Zynaptiq.The supplied 5GB soundbank of multisample instruments, synths, loops, and phrases enables expressive and inspiring compositions for all genres of music. Digital Performer's expansive plug-in collection includes dynamics and time-based processors, models of guitar amplifiers, cabinets, and stompboxes, virtual instruments, and much more. Selectable waveform/spectrogram views, a quick-search command to find any feature, and primary-/secondary-tool toggling make common operations even more efficient. Thanks to support for Audio Units, VST (versions 1, 2, and 3), and MAS (MOTU Audio System), the Mac- and Windows-compatible Digital Performer software can host your favorite third-party plug-ins.
