DP 5.12 LATENCY for DUMMIES : Need help

Latency from plug-ins while playing through them I understand. The fool's errand of trying to monitor through DP and a rack of plugs with the buffer at 64 and not run out of horsepower, I understand. But I would expect that when I mute the input so I'm listening to the track and NOT hearing what I'm...

Extra computer/ slave / more CPU ??

My brain remembers reading somewhere some time ago that DP could somehow use a networked computer's CPU for more power.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? I'm not even sure what to search for...

Thanks!

DP 5 / 6 / 7 + Mac Pro Dual / Quad / Octa / Xeon / Nehalem

I haven't been following DP / Mac compatibility for a while, but when I last was, there was a bunch of chatter about quad cores not working right or DP not using them correctly or something. Question: If I buy a new / new-ish Mac, are there any specific models I need to avoid with certain versions o...

Input Monitoring oddness

I've just rebuilt my G5 and my existing sessions no longer playing audio through input-enabled audio tracks (i.e.: a submix of the drums sent to a stereo audio track (for bouncing if needed) that's then routed to the main outs). I thought it was just Audio Patch Thru but none of the four APT setting...

Re: How many 5.13 people waiting to upgrade?

Sticking with 5.13 for a while. It works and I don't do anything fancy enough to warrant the $300 for the new features.

Re: Snow Leopard-- September: $29 upgrade

I have no intention of upgrading immediately, but this "There's not a whole lot of new features, but we cleaned up a bunch of old •••• and made a ton of fixes. Oh, and we won't rape you on the price, either." thing is WELCOME breath of fresh air. Kudos to Apple for that. Maybe Adobe / Micr...
