Originally posted by heavypick: FWIW: According to Mix magazine, Garbage uses Receptor to run VIs for their live show. They name Kompakt as their main sampler VI. So, there's one NI sampler that seems to hold up on Receptor. Yeah that's on the list, but Reactor and Kontact are not. What with Kontac...

Originally posted by TedRackley: In a few weeks we will release our UniWire technology, which sends multiple ports of MIDI and multiple channels of audio over ethernet into your host app, in your case DP, via VST/AU/RTAS plugins you just insert on your mixer. No MIDI interface or soundcard drivers ...

Originally posted by dixiechicken: Intel will eventually produce quad-cpu:s I'm certain - that may find their way into Apple computers. That is still some years away though. I wouldn't be so certain that it's years way. My guess is Apple releases dual core powerbooks out the door, and multi core po...

Originally posted by qo: Frankly, I was shocked when the Emagic/Apple deal was announced. It's been bad for Logic users specifically, IMHO, (support charges added at a time of increasing application unreliability), and it's been bad for music production on the Mac in general. First of all hi qo! Wh...

One thing people keep on mentioning that amazes me is buying a new revision of the G5 that comes out soon etc.....

Originally posted by iMAS: Are you planning to use the powerbook to play VI's to free up processing on your powermac or just for MIDI sequencing ? If it's just for MIDI seq, you might as well just do it on the powermac. It sounds like you just want to send MIDI data from one computer to another. Yo...

Thanks for the reply! :) What I'm thinking of doing is setting up the powerbook as MIDI master, and MIDI clock master, sending this all via Tiger's Network MIDI to Digital Performer on the dual Gig tower. With this type of thing it's important to be able to play more than one virtual instrument trac...

I'm curious, has anybody tried to control say, Battery 2 with something like Trigger finger, while someone else plays the mach 5 with a master keyboard controller? Is it possible to route MIDI to two or more soft synths in DP? My copy of DP sits at 2.7.2, and I'm thinking of using 4.6 as an AU host,...

What are any of your thoughts on forgoing a traditional two track editor in favor of DP as one? I'm thinking DP at $149 for the upgrade is a better choice than Peak or DSP Quattro. Especially since it will host AU on my tower while I send MIDI from Live 5 to it. Plus I kind of miss DP, Logic is cool...

Did you try setting a higher buffer for DP? I notice with Live 4, if the CPU is pushed, the buffer setting needs to be raised in order to preserve overall quality, and prevent dropouts etc.

Look, I haven't read that you tried the advice given by MOTU tech guy, maybe you should? Originally posted by TechSupport: Try this: - First, backup your Audio Files folder. - Then archive it (control-click it in the Finder, choose Create Archive). - Drag your Audio Files folder to the Trash, and em...

Originally posted by TOD: [QB]I'm curious as to why you are running your network set-up. Are concerned about CPU performance? CPU is one issue, another is that I write primarily in Live 4 now, and that won't change much if I do go ahead and upgrade my copy of DP to OSX 4.6. Live makes little use of...

Wormhole 2 works fine here with Live 4 and Logic 7. It's not the most elegant solution to me for my needs unfortunately. In Live 4 on the powerbook I create a MIDI track send it to the dual running Logic synched and sending the audio via Wormhole to a Live audio track. Well Live doesn't like the ide...
