Comprehensive Overview - Very Helpful
I've been using motu midi since the early 1990's!!! And still, I've learned a great deal from watching this tutorial. This is a comprehensive overview and very little is left out from one of the "oldest" MIDI software programs on the market. To think of my years working with the earlier versions of MOTU's Performer software and now to watch this series of videos clearly shows me MOTU continued to evolve their product and the possibilities of MIDI software, even while digital audio recording was the main focus, replacing audio tape. I'll need to watch this a few more times to soak up all there is to learn and remember... well worth the time and cost.

I liked the tutorial, but could have used a little more in depth work and attention to keyboard shortcuts. It does have a lot of very helpful beginning information and a couple of tidbits that help for workflow. Would recommend doing it if you're new to DP in any way.
