Not a problem and you can keep both installed on the same machine. DP10 shows as "Digital Performer 10" and this one gets named as "Digital Performer".

In that case, will start downloading during England vs. Denmark...Not a problem and you can keep both installed on the same machine. DP10 shows as "Digital Performer 10" and this one gets named as "Digital Performer".

As long as it's a train wreck on Windows unfortunately I won't be giving it a try. Been eyeing it for years, though.

Was going to ask this. Does it work on windows 10 well? I've been eyeing the switch back to DP for a while as well. I qualify for the upgrade but not sure if I want to go down the Mac rabbit whole right now especially with the big change coming.

Let's end this peacefully
It didn't go too well for me. I posted my brief experience with DP11 here https://vi-control.net/community/threads/motus-dp11-is-out.111699/post-4865072

Anybody have a summary of what DP does better than say Cubase and Logic?

Really liking this update so far. The articulation maps function seems like a hybrid between Cubase and Logic. Seems mostly like Cubase but more intuitive and flexible.
it was my first time trying it ever, and as I was trying to figure out how to add an instrument track I was met with an error reporting screen. Been interested in checking it out for awhile. So far so good haha.

The link below provides a good list of features, although it doesn’t make any product comparisons:

Seems pretty standard fare in terms of features for a mature DAW. But hard to tell how the workflow is.The link below provides a good list of features, although it doesn’t make any product comparisons:

1) chunks
2) vracks
3) clippings (not the clips launcher ableton stuff, clippings is a totally different unrelated thing)
4) the tempo finding tools based on markers
Having used Cubase extensively over the pandemic period to check it out, I gladly came back to DP for many reasons:
- DP handles VI's with more CPU efficiency. ie: Omnisphere has less of a CPU hit when loaded in DP. If I load it into VEP7, it's even easier.
- hooking up to VEP7, on the same computer, is so easy and fast
- the new scalable zoom view is great for the eyes
- if you like to look at MIDI in notation view, it's as good if not better than Cubase as far as figuring out the actual 'real' lengths of notes
DP is full of features with something for everyone.
Best of all, it supports older machines like my 2009 MacPro with High Sierra and makes it fly.

Leaving aside the Cubase comparison (about which I am in the dark), DP's notation and the speedy ability to drag bar lines around is just indispensable for my workflow. I don't know what I'd do without it.
As @cmillar wrote, the DP notation has an uncanny ability to recognise what you intend, musically. And with MusicXML export it is 10x faster to move over to Sibelius / Finale (if you even want to).
Moreover, with version 11, I see they've added a lot of symbols to the notation so who knows where that goes?
Quite pleased so far.

As a DP4 owner (!) I qualify for an upgrade. I'm tempted to take another look after all these years.
