I wonder... Don‘t the V5 Waves Pluggs work with the APAs? http://www.waves.com/content.asp?id=1622 Even if you chose to switch to the intel macs sometime, some extra horse power will always come in handy. You could buy the APA32 at the same price tag, an upgrade would cost you (or even less) and get...

But the new OS is DEFINTELY snappier... (Timeline beat me to it!) Same here! Especially starting and quitting of applications and switching between them is noticably faster on my iBook 1.2 GHz. I started to believe it was my Book simply being too slow on the RAM/HD-side to be really working, but no...

I‘d advise you to hop borders and buy it in germany. I got mine here: www.ppc-music.de, ask for mr. Ebel! And if you intend so, be quick, he‘s not going to be there an more after next week or so. Otherwise, www.musicstore-koeln.de , www.thomann.de or www.musik-produktiv.de should be able to supply a...

oh and a word on the 16 bit- 24 bit-thingy: 16 bits give you a theoretical dynamic range of 93 dB, of which about 74 are really usable. Most productions are even further limited to somewhat around 50 dB. Keep in mind that you‘d have to listen at a peak of at least 60 dB SPL (in case your listening e...

well, I‘m not a 100% sure, but there were some basic comparisons of signal summing in DAWs some time ago. And the results even when just summing up were audibly different. so they said. So it‘s not just about dynamics. As far as I can see, the 24 bit-signals stay 24 bit and are not being converted b...

* 32-bits of dynamic range is HUGE, I personally believe going to 64 is a waste when that extra precision is WAY beyond any equipment in your input/output chain when crossing from A -> D or D -> A. When I say waste, I refer to chewing up twice as much bandwidth in your memory when things have to be...

Just a thought: Maybe a Master Clock is your way to go? From what I read through the net, this seems to even out some harshness issues. And this might be a reason why film scores alsways seem to be a little more open sounding, since many if not most of the digital studios use Clocks in one way or th...

I would highly recommend a utility app such as Cocktail or Mac Janitor which run your systems routine maintenance "cron" scripts. For those of you who don‘t feel comfortable with tools: -open the shell (it‘s called "terminal") -type "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly"...

I wonder if anyone knows about similar instructions for Window XP. I am getting horrible MIDI performance with the Traveler, which I must say is a big dissappointment since I was hoping to use this box for both MIDI and audio.. The audio seems to sound fine, but the MIDI line gets all kinds of rand...
