i am seriously considering buying a G4 dual 533 (will definitely as soon as nuendo is released on MAC) but i have NO experience whatsoever with MAC OS of any type. is there a way (or need) to optimize a MAC as windows needs to be? and, is it safe to run other non-audio apps as well?

A public beta for Acid version 3.0 is on their site for download. Haven't futzed w/ it yet, but I thought some of you might want to give it a whirl.

Quick question,

Anybody have any information on the 2264X compressors? I own 2264's and 32264a's, and I saw some for sale, and was wondering has anyone ever used them. How do they compare to the other two. THANKS.

In honor of the revamped site, I thought it was high time for a new Celebrity Death Match-style thread.

This is the thread for you - to show off!

Well, my system is now 90% midi, just tracks for an acoustic guitar, some vocals, Sax solo..thats all. Now my midi friends, let's share some of the technique that we use to beef up our sampled sounds in a mix. We don't have acoustic problems to deal with, but sometimes some samples can sound a little bland. I'll share 1 of the things that I do.

I'm having difficulty creating a working patch list for a Technics PR307 keyboard, to be used in Digital Orchestrator.

The root of the problem is that the PR307 uses the same patch numbers for all the instruments in a group (all the organ voices, for example use patch number 7). The variations are selected by means of LSB abd MSB values.

Which is the better median to record live? A free standing unit like a Tascam CDR5000 or a computer based unit?

This is in a church and the primary is vocal. If I go with the computer, what software allows you to record on the go?

We also have a P133 sitting around with a 20GB HD in it and 64 meg of ram. Is it usable?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've been using Cubase for a couple years now (PC, but don't hold it against me), and currently have the latest version of VST32. I want to use the transport controls on my Tascam TMD8000 for Cubase, but no one seems to know how. So let's see if someone on this new site can step up and figure it out. Thanks in advance...
