From my experience at least, I wouldn't be caught dead with ANY computer without an extended warranty. Apple, Dell, no matter which I'm using, I pick it up. I think it's important to have it on a computer, or any large electronics purchase, no matter what. Like you said though it'd be nice if we did...

I'd never see the value in not buying one. You protect your entire investment for about 10% of the cost. Sometimes you have to play it safe, especially with pricey electronics. I disagree that they're "notorious" for selling bad hardware. I've worked with well over 100 macs in my life (my ...

I've had a Powerbook G4 and a dual 2.0 G5 and in 3 years only ever had a problem with the Superdrive in the PB. I ALWAYS buy the Apple Care. Plain and simple, when you shell out a thousand or more dollars for anything you should also purchase an extended warranty for it. I used to work at a Dell Dir...

Thanks for the suggestion emulatorloo. I'll seriously think about that. Klaus, is your main Startup drive the one with the small partition? Normally I think you want the drive you actually boot off of to do your normal work to be fairly large. I was only talking about a small partition to run one pr...

I did that earlier today and after 20 minutes of waiting it still hadn't loaded up. Waiting that long is just silly, so I wanted to have it available on the partition so I can just hit it up when I need to.

OSX size?

Quick question. I just bought an external, and plan to put an emergency partition on there with a boot of OSX as well as diskwarrior. How much room does OSX take up? I've heard you should save anywhere between 6-10 GB for this, but I don't want to partition too much or too little. *edit: Can't belie...

Thanks for the response. Let me see if I have this straight. You've recorded the D.I.'d guitars at a normal level correct? You then lower them when you send them to ReAmp, and then use the ReAmp module's gain to set an appropriate new level for your processed audio? When you said to get a real re-am...

Forgot to mention that I don't actually have the Pod yet, which is why I'm asking about recording seperately THEN sending it through the Pod at a later date.

Reamping

Hey guys. Quick question. I'm going to be using the Line 6 Pod XT Pro to reamp some guitar tracks that I have. I plan on recording the audio direct in DP first through the FireWire 410, then running it through the Pod later. My question is: how hot do I want the signal to be when I record? I'm think...

Stupid mistake. I had Multi-Record turned on. Turned it back off and everything is gravy now.

MIDI track problem

Ok, so I'm working on drum tracks and I am using triggers to use samples to supplement what I've recorded. However, everytime I try to load a new MIDI track now, it loads up a completely new MIDI track (not a duplicate or similar track) but it has the Ins and Outs of one of my current MIDI tracks. I...

I feel so stupid. The Firewire outputs in DP got renamed to something different with the driver upgrade. Just had to reselect them and everything fell into place. Thanks for your help guys.

Odd ReWire occurance

Hello all. Been a while since I posted here (I had a brief stint of love for Logic Pro), but I am back with DP and intend to stay here for good. This morning I began a project using DP and Reason. Everything was fine. I then installed an update for my Firewire 410, version 1.7.1. I then start up the...
