Re: Apple announces new Mac Pros! (was "Houston...")

Two internal drives is a game-changer; that's the main point. The majority of limitations of an iMac historically boil down to the single internal drive. Almost everything else is a problem compounded atop that one. I agree with you that 2 internal drives in the iMac is a game changer, however that...

Re: Apple announces new Mac Pros! (was "Houston...")

You're right; for a mere $1850, you can expand that model to 16 GB RAM. I must have clicked on the wrong link before. The iMac costs $1000 to go to 16 GB. Not sure if these same ratios hold when doing cheaper custom RAM. $1850! :shock: :shock: Are you looking at Apple's ram prices? Don't buy RAM fr...

This is not to say that there aren't valid reasons for going the MacPro route; it's just that the writer of that linked article can't see past his nose! BTW: The writer of that blog is Marco Arment, lead developer of both Tumblr and Instapaper. That doesn't make him einstein, but he's no dunce! (pl...

Re: Apple announces new Mac Pros! (was "Houston...")

What a silly article, comparing 2008 iMac and MacPro and pushing that forward indefinitely! The equation began to change last year, and changed again big time yesterday. Consider that the iMac can go to 16 GB, whereas the entry-level MacPro can only go to 8 GB. The actual price differential between...

Re: MOTU's DP CONTROL for iPhone up on App Store now!!!!!!!!

Isn't simultaneous fader-control (the ability to ride more than one fader at a time) an iPad-only feature? The video seems to imply it is. [i'm out of town and can not check this myself. thx] The video does seem to suggest this, however you can move multiple faders from the iPhone as well as the iP...

Re: Apple announces new Mac Pros! (was "Houston...")

Thanks folks. How about the 'hyperthreading' and virtual cores? Will that affect us? In a cumulative sense, It all matters. It just may not matter worth $3000. The thing that the audio world would benefit most from, based upon how things are currently built, is access to additional RAM. So a 64-bit...

Re: MOTU's DP CONTROL for iPhone up on App Store now!!!!!!!!

Would you guys agree that this is the happiest time you've ever been a DP user? It is for me. It feels like Christmas when I was eight years old. - c It's easily the happiest I've been since I first discovered DP. If all of MOTU's improvements are as good as the ones they have made recently, they c...

Re: I nice thread about DP on Gearslu^z thanks to OSC and iO

What's interesting is that somebody says MOTU didn't wait for users to come up with an OSC app. No third party people had any time. OSC wasn't supported till DP 7.2 was released. Hardly any time for anybody to come up with a third party app. They didn't add OSC support by coincidence-- they had to ...

Re: Apple announces new Mac Pros! (was "Houston...")

Lost among the news is that the new 27" monitor was also announced as well as a new iMac. Well, not really a "new" iMac as a minor upgrade to the old one with a 3.5% speed boost for the quad i7 processor and a new graphics card. I am definitely underwhelmed. Still, it might be my sto...

Re: Apple announces new Mac Pros! (was "Houston...")

I'm glad I held off on doing an upgrade for my studio, which is still running a Dual G5 dual 2.7 PPC machine running Tiger. I definately think I'll be taking advantage of those price drops. yeah man, do it. I bought my 2.8, 8-core at a discount when the Nehalem machines debuted and honestly, I want...

Re: New installation of Digital Performer

Yeah. It's easy. Just install DP from the disk, authorize it, quit it, and install the 7.2 update. Enjoy. :)
