3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Don Barrett's Digital Performer 5 Power! describes the features and functions of DP5, but like DP's user manual, the author gets so invovled in explaining the numerous ways to achieve the essentially the same result, the novice user is ultimately left unable to actually use the software to create music.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 30, 2008

This review is from: Digital Performer 5 Power! (Paperback)
Don Barrett's Digital Performer 5 Power! describes the features and functions of DP5, but like DP's user manual, the author gets so invovled in explaining the numerous ways to achieve the essentially the same result, the novice user is ultimately left unable to actually use the software to create music.

A better approach would be to provide a quick start guide to producing and playing back a composition, using the simplest point and click tools. Once a new user was confident he or she could do something useful with this not inexpensive software, then additional methods of achieving the same results might be introduced, along with the keyboard short cuts beloved by Mr. Barrett.

There's no question DP is a powerful sequencing tool, but the complexity of the UI is not well described. One's left with the feeling one could read the entire manual and still be unable to produce a musical composition.
