Is it really worth it getting a mac
even after I proved otherwise... SMH as you move upscale, macs become more expensive for less of a machine. I've already shown an example of that. -
Is it really worth it getting a mac
Dawg... can you READ??? Taken DIRECTLY frim Intel's site: "Intel® Core™2 Duo processor The power to perform. With power-optimized enabled dual-core technology and exceptional energy efficiency, the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor excels running the most intense applications." The Core 2... -
Is it really worth it getting a mac
maybe you need to read that statement again and retract it when you figure out where the problem with it is... I'll wait... Core 2 Duo Processors ARE DUAL CORE!!! The machines I spec'ed out use better-than-core2-duo Xeon 5100 and 5300 series processors. The Mac Pro and Dell... -
Is it really worth it getting a mac
as I said, I simply priced out a machine comparable to what I have here at my desk. I need the video card here 'cause I use it for mechanical, electrical, and software engineering apps as well as CGI (which assists in the ME aspect of my job) Fiber Channel??? ha! SAS is nearly as fast as... -
Is it really worth it getting a mac
ok... let's see if what you're saying is true. One of my workstations at my desk here in the office is a Dell Precision 690. I've always said that this thing would make a great DAW, especially since mine has 15K RPM Serial Attached SCSI drives in a RAID1 configuration. I went over to Apple and... -
Is it really worth it getting a mac
You'll have to look pretty hard to find a copy of Logic for PC. It does support Rewire, VST's, and all that jazz, but IMO it's a pain to work with. That's why I don't use it anymore. -
Is it really worth it getting a mac
Some things you forgot: Logic WAS PC/Mac compatible. I still have my copy of Logic 5.5.1. If I were to install it and create something with it, it can still be opened on a mac. SoundForge PC only Acid Pro pc only Reason both Recycle both Nuendo both While each platform has apps... -
if i could do it all again... i would not buy...
I wouldn't have bought: Yamaha Mu5 - I needed instrument sounds, and it delivered to a point. A Sound Canvas or MU50 would have been a better investment. Yamaha TX7 - I got more use out of my twin Yamaha TX81z's. The TX7 is ok for 80's electric pianos and House-styled organs, but unless I... -
Industry Standard... But For How Long?
It was already done. http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM01/Content/EMU_ENSONIQ/PR/PARIS-Pro.html The Ensoniq Paris system was, at the time I was originally introduced to it (1998), the most powerful DAW you could buy. The problem was that it was introduced at a time when Digidesign had... -
anyone knows a real soft synth for acoustic instruments?
You're quite wrong. RAM WILL help apps load faster by reducing the a OS's use of it's page file. The page file is virtual memory, when your PC runs out of physical RAM, the OS resorts to using a file stored on your hard drive as RAM. Even if your PC is equipped with screaming fast hard drives... -
anyone knows a real soft synth for acoustic instruments?
Hate to be the one to break this to you, but Korg Legacy Digital (M1 and Wavestation) DOES use samples. The only acoustic sounds you're gonna get out of Reason are sampled sounds. What you need are physical modeling plugins. They use complex algorithms to recreate sounds instead of samples... -
thinking about going back to pc after many years of mac usage
I know it's not '98 anymore. This is my current motherboard: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/K7_Master266.htm MSI K7 Master-S. That's an Ultra 160SCSI on there. I have a pair of 18GB Fujitsu U160 drives on it (10K RPM, but that's all I could find). It's old as shit, but still... -
thinking about going back to pc after many years of mac usage
wow... I mean... f_ckin WOW!!! Y'all must not have been around for too long. You can comfortably fly 24 tracks of audio off of a 5400RPM drive as long as the interface you're using is fast enough. To give you an example, my first serious DAW machine was a Pentium 233MMX machine with 128MB... -
Industry Standard... But For How Long?
You have a Digi001, don't you? I feel ya tho. I have an AMIII card and a copy of PTLE 5.01 for Win98SE, PTLE 6.1, AND 6.8 for my Audiophile 192. The only reason I use PT is to send out sessions. I'm far more productive in Cubase/FL 6 than ProTools. -
micro korg bass sounds
If you're dead set on having a hardware piece, look into the Waldorf Pulse or Microwave/Microwave XT, Peavey Spectrum Bass II and/or Spectrum Synth, Novation SuperBassStation, Roland Juno 106, Sequential Multi-Trak, or Yamaha TX81Z. You WILL need to learn to program basses. Here's a few... -
micro korg bass sounds
Track down the Tritium Bass VST plugin. makes some good basses, especially when you pair it with the Prosoniq Northpole filter. BTW, both plugins are freebies. -
Pro tools and PC soundcard
PT Free works with any audiocard. The catch is that it's based on 5.x, only works under Win98SE/WinME and, if memory serves me, only supports 8 audio tracks. To get Pro Tools working, you need the hardware it supports. There's no real way around it. -
ASIO4ALL-Now vista ready(beta)
I still don't get ASIO4All's purpose... Simply Installing Cubase gives you DX ASIO, which I've used on an old ISA SB Vibra16. Why do we need yet another ASIO solution? -
Why Sample From Records
that's how it happens, but you don't convert it to a lossy format like mp3, you want wav or aiff. -
Why Sample From Records
if you have no intention of DJ'ing, just get a decent direct drive turntable. You could get one of these: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Stanton-T.60X-DirectDrive-Turntable-?sku=804017 and a little mixer or a phono preamp and you're good to go.
