DP 4.5 + MacBook Pro?

Hi, I had been using DP 4.5 on a G4 Powerbook which recently crashed. I bought a new MacBook Pro but haven't upgraded to the newest version of DP yet. As I need to edit a project to send out relatively soon, I was wondering if DP 4.5 will work on my new computer. Haven't posted here in awhile but I ...

Right...but I wanted something static so I can take a good look at each frequency and voltage and let it inform some compositional desicions because I am trying to write a semi-spectral piece based on this data. Luckily I found a free app called AudioXplorer which seems to do the trick. It offers re...

FFT analysis

Hi,

I am trying to gather some information about a sample of a heavily distorted guitar and I'd like to do some kind of spectral analysis of it. I don't think this is possible in DP so I was wondering if any of you knew of other good programs I might use to accomplish this...

Thanks!!

downloading files

Sometimes when I click on a link to download an Mp3 file from the internet it opens and plays in safari instead of downloading to my hard drive... how do I save it without using a right click mouse?

Thanks,
Tyler

Websites for atmospheric sound effects

Hey everyone,
So I'm designing sound for a musical stage production and I need to find some nice atmospheric sound effects (rain, thunder, etc.). Do any of you know any websites where I could download stuff like this cheaply or even for free?

Thanks,
Tyler

Would it be advisable to go track by track converting to audio and then add reverb to the entire mix at the end? That way I could get each instrument the way I like it, then convert it to audio so SI isn't straining my comp. Sorry, I'd really like to be able to do pretty large ensembles so I'm just ...

will it be too slow to just play MIDI tracks already in DP? If not how many channels/instances of SI do you think I could get away with? Thanks for the reply.

Symphonic Instrument in Finale?

Hi everyone, I've been checking into sample libraries because I want to start making great sounding sequences of some of my compositions... I've thinking about Symphonic Instrument because I've been impressed with some of the examples on the MOTU website. Here's my question: Could I use it as a plug...

Unfortunately I don't have any samplers... I'm using all plugins. I've created another tape piece this way but I was only trying to create weird sounds. Now I'm specifically looking to create metallic clashes and screeching animals.

Creating new sounds from pre recorded audio in DP

Hi everyone, I'll try to make this question painless and short... I'm writing an electro-acoustic tape piece for a composition recital and (like a fool) I decided to "make" all of the sounds in it from a recording I have of a female speaker reading a poem. One of the things I'm trying to m...

MIDI Life: I'm really just a rank beginner when it comes to most of this stuff... my comment was mostly about the ranges in GPO seeming correct. I'm curious about why you don't use it or Finale. What do you use and why do you like it? I'm here to learn...[/list]

As far as ranges go: I use GPO as playback in Finale and the ranges seem more contemporary. I had written a cello part that went to the C in the third space of the treble clef and it played back fine with the Garritan instrument.
