MOTU Digital Performer – the Guitarist’s DAW?

The one-and-only Craig Anderton wrote this article for Sweetwater with guitarists in mind, so I figured I'd share, being the MOTU maniac I am.

It would have been nice if he'd added that DP's "old-school", "traditional / linear-transport" heritage might prove less-confusing to many guitarists, especially relics like myself.

Also, he should've mentioned Polar™, IMHO, which is DP's powerful built-in looper. Great sketch pad, for instance.

Nevertheless, here's his article. It has sound clips too:

Agreed, mate; nothing touches the Kemper IMHO too.

That said, many of MOTU's stomps are superb. The Boss chorus is so good some have used it on backup vocals and for other chorusing duties. I intend to as well.

The "guitar synth" plugins are interesting, and Craig Anderton's Quadrafuzz emulation is, in his own words, spot-on. That's actually nothing to be sneezed at; I've read many glowing reports of its utility for various instruments in the years since its introduction. A versatile all-'round distortion effect.
