Re: external drive options Mac platform later 2017

Thanks for all the info. Very helpful. Basic question, but what parts of the recording process depend most upon hard drive speed / transfer rates? Large mixes with multiple audio tracks? Loading and playback of samples (which I thought mostly resided in RAM until rendered to audio). I was able to op...

external drive options Mac platform later 2017

Trying to figure out an external hard drive solution. My internal MBP drive is only 500 GB SSD. It's about 70% full thanks to iTunes and my Spectrasonics data. I have no other VIs installed yet with approximately 300-400 GB of additional VI data to install. I like the current set-up with Spectra VIs...

Re: New macs - new system upgrade questions

Mike, thank you so much. Really appreciate your time and knowledge with my questions. Have been wanting to upgrade to DP9 for a while, but have been waiting for a new MBP to run it. Will try my 828 with adapter before replacing. Thanks again!

New macs - new system upgrade questions

By now, I assume most mac users have seen the 2016 MBP release. Without getting into the state of Apple and its latest offerings (or lack thereof), I need to bite this year and replace an early ’08 MBP still running OS 10.6.8 and DP 7.??. Some brief questions regarding upgrading the studio ecosystem...

UltraLite MK-4

A new ultralite. USB-2 based. Been hoping for a portable MOTU interface with Thunderbolt for a while, but maybe USB2 is still OK?
