DP remains my favorite DAW, though recently I have been using Tracktion extensively due primarily to it's simplicity (I have a recent model Mac and am not constrained by the hardware - I am very familiar with the issues, and they can be be challenging).I run Digital Performer on a Mac mini that dates back to 2005. It works fine...
It (the UST) won't be...but it won't reproduce your acoustic sound any "better" than the magnetic...just "differently". It may save you you a dollar or two on the string purchase, so if you multiply the potential savings by the number of times and frequency you will actually swap out your strings you should be able to compute how long it will take you to pay off the investment in the pickup exchange. {smile}It's my understanding that an undersaddle transducer won't be as fussy that way.
And it likes UST's. (Parenthetical aside: I plugged a Rainsong (100% carbon fiber - 0% wood guitar) with an L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup into an Aura 16 that I had set up with a recording of my Guild F-50R. My wife did a (classic) double-take and exclaimed, "Wait a minute! I thought that was the Guild! That sounds just like the Guild!". She would know, as she has listened to it for three decades.)...the Aura's for pickups only.
I congratulate you on your efforts to overcome the extraneous noise you are hearing from your recordings. You will be rewarded.
