Thanks Frodo. I will experiment with computer placement, the base station settings and also give Apple a call. I thought I read somewhere on this board that it takes a week or so for Airport cards to calibrate properly to full capacity? Sounds strange to me.

Thanks Frodo!

Thanks Frodo! I actually just had an Airport card installed today and it works fine except I notice the reception is not as good as I had on my G4. Only difference with the G4 configuration is that I needed a external receiver?? transmitter?? unit that plugged into a USB port. Does that type produce...

On my old G4 Mac, I ran wireless from my wifes PC using an Airport card. Now we're considering moving her office to the other end of the house away from my studio. Questio...

Thanks Shooshie. I'll give it a try. I'll just run the L & R RCA audio out from the cassette deck split to a 1/4" stereo jack into my Motu 828's input and see how DP handles it. If my G4 400mhz chokes on all the audio, I'll wait until I purchase a Mac Pro xeon dual 2.66.

Thanks again

I've inputed the audio from one tape years ago through my Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro m...
