MOTU Digital Performer 6 Training Video
This multi-part MOTU Digital Performer 6 Training Video series is designed to give users a strong working knowledge of the powerful Mac audio sequencing software. Starting with the basics and covering advanced features and techniques in detail, even more experienced users can benefit from these visually based tutorials.
The course is perfect for beginners. Audio expert Sam McGuire provides a brief introduction to audio editing concepts, so first time users get a useful primer before they begin. The training then progresses gradually, first introducing the features and layout of the program’s redesigned user interface and discussing changes that MOTU has made. Users are then shown how to create a new project, and then learn how to bring their audio to life.
Because the training video lessons are divided by topic, it’s easy for more advanced users to skip around and use the videos as a quick reference. Every technique is shown in real time, with an active video feed of the program in use. The files used by the author are included, so the course is especially easy to follow.
The training videos are available online with the Apex Unlimited subscription or on CD / DVD as one convenient tutorial package.
Soundtracks and Scores Just the Way You Want Them
With all of the improvements introduced in version 6, there is no better program for composing scores for video, animation and film than Digital Performer.
One useful tool included with the program is the Find Tempo feature. When writing music to fit onscreen motion, it’s important that the score hits the right cue points. Digital Performer 6 allows you to set up a master list or import a cue sheet and then choose the type and degree of importance of each hit. Then the program analyzes the markers you’ve placed and recommends a tempo that will effectively match up with your cues.
Another big help for those who work directly with Digital Video is the incorporation of Firewire support. The DP6 Movie window will let you export your audio projects as a DV-format movie when paired with video and lets you output the movie over Firewire. This means that you can use a FireWire converter box or your DV Camera as a relay to a television or professional video monitor and see exactly how your soundtrack is going to fare onscreen.
These are just a couple of the powerful features packed into Digital Performer that set it apart. It also has new support for 23.976 and 30-drop frame rates and a full range of XML and compatibility enhancements for Apple’s Final Cut Pro that are unmatched.
This MOTU Digital Performer 6 Training Video includes a special section that shows users how to import and utilize video clips within the program. You’ll learn about streamers, punchers and flutters and find out more about the software’s integration with Final Cut. DP6 is a powerful tool capable of the most demanding professional audio work, and these instructional videos will help you learn how to use it.
