I suppose we can all salute your dedication. Oh No! Don't do that: I'm over 60, fat and lazy!

It's always there to install again when you want to add/learn some wind, brass and strings arrangement. True!

As I said before, "Thanks for sharing the link and info..."

Heh heh, none of us are perfect.

If you are still trying to learn new things at 60 that's not so lazy.

Having fun with accel and rall / rit...

Cubase, for some bizarre reason doesn't allow for curved tempo curves - you can have straight ramps and steps - no parametric curves!

Well, there's always a way... The exported tempo map reveals an xml object and this can be created using MS Excel...

Re: Are There Any Benefits to Using P8 in a DAW?

My 2.5 cents:

Custom FX
Easy instrument switching
Layering
Quick A/B-ing of sounds
Playalong tracks (midi/audio)
Easy recording of performances
Easy panning of audio tracks for multiple instances (layers)

I use Ableton to play PT8 usually two with different EQ profiles for left and right.
