MIDI Loopback

I recently left Cakewalk Sonar for Cubase SX and I am loving it; however, I have one regret. Cubase's sheet music interface is horrible. I love the interface that Sonar provides and wish that I could control Cubase with Sonar, i.e., use Sonar as a sequencer to control my software synths and samplers that are running as VST in Cubase. I have only one MIDI port on my system.

Your Best work with the least amount of equipment?

Let's hear about projects you have done with almost no gear that turned out so good it surprised you. I'm sure there are lots of war stories about this subject. I would also like to hear your opinion as to why you think it turned out so good... Hint; this topic is related to the "What are you recording and why are you recording it?" thread

Speed of Ram buss on Mac's?

I am doing transfer's from IZ Radar drives to Pro Tools. There is a new software called DAMSEL that transfer's the data from Radar drives to other formats i.e. SDII, BCW or AIFF files. In our expermentation to find the fastest transfer time, I have some questions for any Mac users. We tested a Mac G4 powerbook running a 500 Mhz processor on a 100 Mhz bus with 256 ram.

Yamaha DSP Factory & Tascam PCI-822

I have both cards installed under Windows XP in a 1.2Ghz 256MB P3 system. Using Sonar 2.0 I can record 8 simultaneous tracks on the PCI-822. I can also record 4 simultaneous tracks on the DSP Factory. But if I try to enable recording on a single channel from the "other" card the recording fails with dropout errors.
