I use the DA in non traditional ways. Anyway, I agree that dp is a hog with both processor and ram. I think all the DAWs are like that. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Once you learn one DAW switching to another sux. It just kills the workflow. For that reason I got real jazzed on the Virus TI, hardware taking the load off the computer. It's new and I'm just getting some time to tweek it all out.

More later, Nailgun

PS keep me posted on what your doing. I'm keeping the faith on the POLAR
Ironically, in the osx 10.28 dp 4.12 (and earlier) my machine was very "zippy" 24+ tracks midi automation with reason, etc.....
The big change came with Dp4.5 and OSX 10.3......things came to a crwling halt.

I agree on the DAW switch issue.....I have used pro-tools, logic, cake walk, and after loosing my hair finnaly settled into dp. The user interface is just musician friendly. Even as a degreed audio engineer (who does not make a living) unless you have $30,000 for a real pro tools hd set up
DP just smokes the rest....
