what kind of latency could i expect from a MOTU 1224 or 1296 on a powermac g4 dual 533, 256Mb RAM (to start) and running ASIIO-compliant software (either DP or cubase). eventually, i plan on upgrading to an ultra160 SCSI controller and drives; will this affect latency or only affect track count?

Hi Gang,
I'll give you guys the set-up first. I track 75% real audio(full bands)/25% midi projects to a mac hard drive medium.

Fletcher,
I've seen you mention that you liked the Lucid converters. Which unit(s) have you heard. I'm thinking about ADA1000 and the 9624 pair. Is the 9624 worth the extra $1000+?

Hi,
Is there a difference in sound quality between the A8o outputs and the Mec's?
If so, which outputs are preferable for 2-bus analog compression?

I'm 28 and I've had a revelation. A great mix of a good song equals a hit.

in the next few months i am piecing a new macintosh DAW together, probably the dual 533. i use MIDI and live audio quite a bit, and Pro Tools is not an option at this point. my software choices are down to DP 3.0, logic 4.7, and Cubase 5; with spark 2.0 as a sample editor. all are in the same price range, so i'm at odds.

I was just asked to go on tour & do live recording for a live record. I'm planning on using Pro Tools to capture the performances. I'm going to take feeds from the FOH board which is actually less than 22 feeds (with 4 audience mics). While is sounds simple enough, I've never done it. It is a world tour, so adapters/conveters are an issue too.

I'm trying to swap samples between an Akai s3000 and a Mac G4 via scsi/Recycle/VST. My akai samples are stored on Jaz disks and the Mac attempts to format them whenever I'm connected.

Is there a way to stop the Mac reading the Jaz (without affecting my interenal G4 Zip drive)?

Or, is there a better way to integrate akai and mac for sample exchanges?

I have a Rosetta that I use to track with and have three digital sources (standalone HD recorder, 2 digital cards) that all have Word Clock in. So obviously I think I would benifit if they all were clocked with the WC out of the Apogee because of the very stable clock and the syncronous timing (I am guessing here).

Hi All,

My band is a four peice instrumental band (2 guitars, bass, and drums) and we would like to add some vocal samples to our music. We thought it would be great if one of the guitar players could trigger these with a foot controller. We have one that can do patch changes, but is not a midi trigger. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ken
