Blown away with DP
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2020 3:30 am
Hello!
I've been a DP user since 2018 as I had to learn it when I got my first job as a music editor, but I'm still pretty new to this community. Not enough community support in Reddit for MOTU/DP. Heh. I now work independently and have also ventured into doing audio post for film/TV.
I used to do all my audio post work in Pro Tools, with RX Connect as the main reason, followed by its very intuitive and efficient editing environment. However, that also meant I had to go back and forth whenever there would be revisions, which can get confusing especially when working on multiple projects at a time, and when revisions have to be made on my actual MIDI-sequenced scores. Dreadful load/unload cycle.
Today, I've just discovered that if you have an audio already imported in DP, you can load that very same file to RX standalone, and when you make changes in RX, hit save and go back to DP, the audio file actually updates almost in real-time, similar to how Logic Pro X handles RX.
I've been reading through posts about this workflow and I am aware that it is a known practice among users who do audio post with DP... I just had to get this out of my chest. I knew I was gonna stick with DP when I started learning how to use it especially for film/tv scoring (mainly because of v-racks and chunks.
But now, I'm just so happy to know that I can do ALL the things I need to do (music AND audio post) all in one DAW. I don't even need to go through loading/reloading projects with heavy VIs. I also have my AUX tracks on my V-Rack so all the mastering plugins I use are always ready. I just load a different chunk and BOOM everything's there.
I'm also really thankful for this community 'cause I wouldn't have discovered this amazing feature by DP if it weren't for the plethora of useful information in this community.
All the best!
