Howard Shore (the Lord of the rings guy) is also advertised as a DP user. I started using it because I bought the traveller and it came with it. I found protools less intuitive, and limits in track count and the fact that you have to use their interfaces which most people consider to be shit house make it a poor choice for me. That said, despite the expense, I used a HD system with a control 24 desk and found it hugely stable and a powerful workhorse. Anything under HD would be a waste of time for me.

My troubles with DP are in that it crashes way too much. Mainly because of my powercore which I think is unstable, but there are other instances. I did a computer upgrade fairly recently and that helped a bit, but I probably need to buy a super computer or try another DAW. Do logic users consider it stable? I'm of the opinion that DAW's do pretty much sound the same once you become fluent. I'd happily buy cubase or logic if someone promised me it would stop the crashing!!!
