Does XTC work with Mac?

Hmm, sounds interesting. Tell me more about how you got it to worki?

I know that I'm in the minority but have been thinking about adding a few toys to a Mac rig.

I'm using Digital Performer 4.11 and have an OS 9 version but really WTF? Do I have to go backwards here to get this to work? What's the point?

Anyway, I was considering something and wanted some ...

Hello,

It's been about 5 years. I've been away from the PC scene since I went Mac. I abandoned Cakewalk and Cubase VST24 about that time as well and jumped into the Mac world. Best thing that I ever did with computing. I needed to add that I went hardware based as well.

After using Creamware and ...

I use Digital Performer. Madonna. U2 and Destiny's Child all use Digital Performer. It's actually in English and not designed wierd like Logic Audio is--with its own naming conventions of everything--so that every one else in the real audio production world can't understand them....

Hey Guys,

I've not been back here in a while. I thought I'd add some future follow up to my sample dilema:

I got rid of my PC about 6 months ago. I've gone Mac and have never looked back. I've since converted my entire home into a Macintosh paridise with a slew of older Macs from Ebay. The place ...

The other limitation of my situation shines through. If I could I'd just buy everything, a Q Rack, an XT Rack, a Novation II Rack, a VariOS, a JP-8000, Nord Lead III Rack, and of course a CW Noah. Problem solved. However, my economic means of this day seem to eliminate that option significantly so I ...

My CW loyalty and bias shines through. I do aggree that they have a great approach to their product and yes I realize that they'll be able to do some cool stuff...

How is it then that a company 20 times the size of CW like Roland can screw up a neat product with similar potential like VariOS?

I ...

I believe I want one. It's hardware. It won't crash. It should sound good.

Its a niche synth but will augment great with an XV-5080 and Reason I imagine filling in the holes that I was considering a Nord, Nova, or Waldorf (XT, Q) for.

Any opionions?

Today is the last day for this promotion. It's been a great success and thanks for those of you who called and even more thanks to those who bought some.

cheers.

BTW, I got my first glimpse and test drive on the new Powermac G5 this past week. Neat-o!

Yes,

I tried this solution first and was extremely dissatisfied with the results. In fact, the AI3 doesn't have the ADAT Din connectors on it and only synchronizes to ADAT lightpipe clock. This is not the most reliable and professional clock that you can use.

My suggestion if you're on a ...

With all this talk about GUI's it makes you think about the potential of this software on something with a tablet PC version of the software.

I wonder if CW could increase their userbase by making a Pulsar Lite software version that runs natively or stand alone on a PC. It could also be a VSTi ...

Windows XP is more robust than either of the options. XP Pro SP1. There are some limitations in terms of speed. Since its a more robust platform, I've heard that its file access doesn't improve and infact slows down on systems compared to Windows 98 running the same FAT32 drives. That issue aside ...

You know, I've been watching that road map a while now too. I was hopeful always rooting for the underdog CW. It was like they were bucking the Motorolla bandwagon that everyone else in audio seems to be on.

This is a mixed blessing because it does provide a real different hardware alternative to ...

I guess, but things change daily. We just started this special and anyone in the market would have a hard time hearing about it with out someone saying it. Basically, this isn't an international campaign but a small focused approach supported by HP for B2B Solutions.

They pay me to market and sell ...

Hey Guys,

I know I work there, but, I have to let everyone know the benefit---PC Mall will do domestic orders only for studio owners that are a business...

I can sell HP products first time buyers at cost on everything they sell from servers, workstations, and desktops.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the headz up on the CW stuff. BTW, Mac G5's are shipping as of Monday! Hoorah!

I also have another amazing deal going.... if you're studio is a business I can sell you a HP workstation (CW Friendly) at cost for your first order if you've not bought from me before!

http://www ...

Hey Guys,

All really good questions. It so happens that besides sales, I'm one heck of a tech both on Mac and PC. Here's the skinny on a couple of issues in this thread, and I'd be glad to help...

For those who are interested in understanding the migratory path of PC's in over the next 10 years in ...

It's true that almost every computer reseller has return policies that are differnt than department stores. This is comparable to even Best Buy and CompUSA. If you buy a laptop from any reseller in the country basically you can not return it to the reseller. Technology changes on a daily basis and ...

Apple is also blowingout their G4 linup respectably and if you'd like some action on those, I can also get everyone here some special pricing.

Included are the list prices. I'll be able to ...
