I was wondering if anyone could validate this statement:

PC uses RAM more efficiently. What may be 4GB of RAM on a MAC G5 is equivalent to 2.5 maybe 3GB RAM on PC.

A friend of mine was trying to explain to me that the MAC does not use RAM as well.

**edit**

hello ;] ...i have been thinking about what desktop monitor buy. i looked on several pages but since i am no expert in field of monitors i wanted to ask people that have some experience.

Just wondering... has anyone heard of charging money for periodically setting the levels on a mixer for live performance? I've become aware that since our church bought a Mackie 1402Vlz Pro mixer for the choir, they periodically pay someone to come in and set the levels. Not sure how much they get charged, but I think it's probably a fair bit. The reason I'm asking is twofold:

hey, does anyone know how many ms altiverb latency is on the "high latency/low proscesser load" setting? or how to find out? could i do a bounce down with reverb, then load it in to the track and line them up by sight at the waveform level?

Hi, I'm a newb to posting but have enjoyed what I have learned from reading. I hope you can help me. I have a small recording studio and we handle tons of cable t.v v/o's from tele-commuting voice talent. We've recently added one who has an odd quality to the sound of her audio, and I thought if I posted her chain here, you could give me some suggestions for her.

Hello,

I am looking for a nice dynamic for recording that will fit these roles:

1) Studio Voiceover
2) Kick/Bass cab
3) Intrument - Trumpet/Sax

I have a PreSonus Firepod for location work and a Firewire 410 for home use.

I listened to the Sennheiser. 421 and did not like it, so I came up with these three.

I am planning to record a band live and I need a lot of tracks to cover every instument/vocal. I have a MOTU 828mkII soundcard that I`ve used for a coupple of months now. The MOTU is able to provide 18 inputs (10 analog in, 2 S/PDIF and 8 via A-Dat lightpipe) but I`ve only used it with the 8 analog inputs.

Hi,

I'm planning on investing in a pro channel mic preamp with compressor, actually a dual channel so that I can do stereo miking. Right now, it's bascially between the Sebatron vmp-2000eVU and Focusrite ISA220.

I do mainly pop rock/acoustic pop and Indie. Anyone with any advice?

Hey everyone I have been posting trying to found out info on a recording studio with no computer. I finally decided on going the computer route since it's cheaper and will give me waaay better results than the stuff I've been doing on the Boss BR-8 all in one porta studio. Well the question I have is this: What products and devices will I need to start off on a decent-sounding album?
