Are there any updates available for the DP4 currently hosted here?
If I'm not mistaken, version 4 goes up to 4.6. We currently have only the installer (version 4.1).
The updaters at MOTU require web authentication, which I believe won't work.
FYI, I gave a shot and installed on OS X Tiger (I reckon it's not OS 9, please forgive).
It runs, but somehow it won't just quit here, which requires me to shut it down "brute-force".

yes pretty sure u need the updates to gain 100% compatibility with 10.4.11
perhaps if u didnt update to 10.4.11 it may work with no problems? i think there was an update
that broke all audio apps around 10.4.6 i believe?
i bet u would get better results trying to run it on 10.3.9 if you cant find the updates
DP4 was released way back in may of 2003... which was even before the release of panther 10.3 itself
so the os it was designed for originally was Jaguar (10.2.x)
the initial release of jaguar was on August 23rd 2002
and the final update "v10.2.8" was made on October 3rd, 2003
DP5 however was released in april of 2006.. and is a much better match for osx tiger
because tiger had already been released for 1 year prior to the release of DP5..
(osx tiger was released in april of 2005)
which would confirm that the dp4 updates u seek would be a fix for the symptoms u are experiencing
but u may have an easier time finding dp5 then u would tracking down a series of updates..
unless u can find a registered motu user who would be able to get the updates for you.

to add to this information:
DP6 was released in november of 2008..
osx leopard was released in june of 2006
and was at version 10.5.5. as of nov/2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Leopard
imo making dp6 the better match for leopard
+ intel powered daw's
dp6 remained current untill about september 2009
at which point dp7 was released (shortly after the final update
to osx leopard, entitled 10.5.8 which was released in mid-august 2009)
snow leopard had been released in june/2009 and was at v10.6.1 in september 09..
i believe this would make dp7 a better match for snow leopard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Snow_Leopard
hopefully this gives u greater insight into the relationship between mac os x versions + Digital performer revisions!

Diehard, if you don't mind, I would like to grab this 4.11 update of yours.
I can't install Panther on my iBook, so I'm stuck with DP 4.1 or DP5, the later seems to be quite hard to find these ways, that is, in working conditions...
Speaking of DP in general, have you guys heard about these training series from VTC?
http://www.vtc.com/products/Digital-Performer-2.7-tutorials.htm
10 hours of video tutorials for DP 2.7... amazing! ;)

Could I have your copy of DP5. I have DP6. Not sure how i missed 5 since i've been with MOTU starting at 2 when they called it Performer and not to mention FreeStyle ( still one of my favorite).

Create compositions intuitively using ensembles, players, takes and arrangements. Get inspired with FreeStyle’s dozens of drum riffs. Notate your performances as you play. See your music on screen exactly as it will print. Get started quickly with built-in support for dozens of popular MIDI instruments, including any General MIDI device. FreeStyle provides both tape recorder and drum machine style composing.

To MacGuy: could you please upload FreeStyle?
-
Yes, it's coming.

Had to make this "second" post because I missed the time limit to amend.
Just to clarify, will have to "toast" it and upload somewhere. OH RIGHT, and find the serial numbers.

Excuse me for busting into this room.
I;ve got DP6 but for some reason don't have 5 .
That's puzzling for me since i have the performers and the digital performers up to and including 4, then missing 5, and then 6 up to and including 8. When is 9 coming out ?

can we get copies of "performer" (the versions prior to 'digital performer') ?

I think i may have Performer ( it would be on several floppies ) and also need to find the authorization floppy ( if i did not use up all the authorizations ).

hummmm, is that a download link ???

no file name the file is in my user directory on the ftp

Digital Performer 4 is Os X only. We must keep a low level of oftopics.
But talking about sharing "modern" software it is absolutely banned, because this forum can be shutdown without notice if we allow this kind of content.
Sorry, this topic will be edited and locked in short.
(Anyway, nobody's going to read yours PMs or delete your uploads to the FTP unless space were needed) :)

OK, but this "business" better by PM.

hummmmm, i thought i already posted freestyle http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=1036.0 however if it's no longer available there let me know and i will use another cloud
although Mr Magoo still has to go into the basement man cave to find Performer :
I think i may have Performer ( it would be on several floppies ) and also need to find the authorization floppy ( if i did not use up all the authorizations ).
Modify message
The other think, i remember there was more then one install floppy disk. How do upload a floppy disks for the install and the authorization floppy disk ( providing it still has authorization left on it )?
Meanwhile MrMagoo is going for a cup of strong black coffee.

yes we need the admins to do their job >:( + post these things officially so they are easily found + not lost;)
;D lol
re: copying floppys i think you use disk copy
(Thats why its called disk copy?)
-
i thought that copy floppy only copies/duplicates one floppy to another ?
let's say i have 2 or more floppy disks that are installers: you start with the first, it then asks for the next and the next and the...
how do i upload the contents of those 2 or more installer floppies ?

disk copy will create .img mountable files that mount to the desktop once clicked
the same way a disk (or any other removable media) will mount once its inserts into a mac with a floppy
these files can then be macbinary encoded + transmitted over the net
this is the exact technique used by enabler in creating the logic anthology in our downloads section

thanks very much for the clarification/how to
now to see if i can find the last version of performer i have and work on uploading

To MACTRON: I downloaded it ages ago too and it's here haven't tested it, I will upload it
- not sure if it is the one you want though.
Maybe wait a few hours x 3 because of slow upload.
Off Topic;
Also anyone want the soundsgood hip hop cd it's there too.
