I'm about to buy a new system for recording (my P3 450 is dying out) and I'm really split on what to get.

I've heard mac is more simple to use (which I love the sound of) but it also means getting used to a whole new computer setup (I've been using PCs all my life)

Is there really a huge difference between the two?

A client will bring in a session recorded on a Mackie HD recorder and we would like to edit and mix the stuff on my PT|HD rig running on a Mac G4 OS X. (all the tracks have been 'consolidated'.)

My plan is to just take the drive out of the SCSII enclosure and connect it to my Mac or insert it into a Firewire enclosure.

I want to move over to Mac for my Mobile DAW. I'll be using Logic Audio 6 or Pro (so I'll be able to take advatage of the "freeze track" function, which is suppose to do wonders for cpu free-up). Should I go with a Ibook G4 900 or a Tibook 867? Does the L2 Cache make that much of a difference?

Hi all,

I compared DP 3.11 to DP 2.72 and heard some suprising differences in warmth and detail. 2.72 was better. 3.11 was brighter, dryer, and lacked low-level detail.

I really want to demo another application to further my research. I have ther 2408MKII, so I suppose the application would need to be compatible with that as well as OS9.

Any suggestions?

Since Pro Tools free is not available for Mac OS X. Are there any other comparable and free (!) audio applications for OS X out there?

I am just getting started in the home recording area. I have a G3 500 mz iMac with over 700 meg ram. I just bought a Voice Tonelab to go with my Gibson EB bass, 67 Hofner 500/1 and Fender Strat. (also have a midi). I am need of advise as to what I should get as far as software to purchase etc so I can start the home recording process.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a mac based software that will be able to tell me the ISRC codes that are on a CD? If not mac, how about PC?

thanks

Hi guys! I just jumped from "tech talk" to see what's happening on other forums and have question, maybe stupid, but let me ask.

I recently recorded a band and they wanted the audio files for themselves so they could mix it on their PC.

I have a mac and use Logic 5.5 and I just burnt the files as they are in other words, in whatever format Logic creates them. I presume they are Sound Designer II files. Anyway, they couldn't import them into whatever sequencer they were using (I think it was Cubase).

I have a Pro Tools song that is originally created on a Mac computer. Now a have the song on a CD and wants to work with it on my PC. When a use Windows to view the CD contents I notice that there are no file-extensions on the files. I can rename the sessionfile an manually add the '.pts' on the filename, but when I then try to open it in Pro Tools, the program says:
