Asus P4C800E Deluxe is widely regarded as one of the best but it is pricier. Get a P42.8C/3.0C processor and 1 - 2 GB of DDR400 (brand name) Decent case and powersupply is a very good idea IMHO If you are going AMD there are a bunch of choices according to processor (Athlon/Athlon64) RME forums - rme-audio.forum on news.x-networks.de has recommendations from users on what to choose. You could also look on www.TomsHardware.com/Anandtech.com for recomendations. The choice could depend on your sound hardware and what is working for people with that card/Interface. Regards, M

What should I buy if I need a low latency 2 in/out soundcard. It´s just for home recording but it´s absolutely a must that it´s stable.

I couldn't be happier with my Audiophile 24/96 card. The latency is so low that I routinely play softsynths in realtime without noticing any delay (I use the Audiophile's MIDI I/O as well as audio I/O), and I have zero stability issues (using the CoreAudio drivers in OS X; YMMV if you're not using OS X yet).

I just loaded Logic 6 into my 400 MHz G4 running OSX (Panther) and unfortunately the Midi doesn't work. I am using a MOTU micro express with a serial card (gee three). I downloaded the updated drivers for both the Motu and the Gee Three card but unfortunately the Apple audio midi setup doesn't seem to recognize the drivers. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance, Mytoon

Example: http://www.boysen.se/audio/hard_techno_rock.mp3 The PSP Nitro is very different IMO. It seems to me that its strange is dynamic filtering synced to song tempo. It can provide almost "3D ambience". I also have an external analog filter bank, the Akai MFV42, and with the PSP Nitro I can get those sounds right away without having to route audio externally through the Akai and record it back again. I guess you know there is a demo of the PSP Nitro available? It's quite CPU intensive so in praxis it will only be used with my G5. Best wishes Per Boysen -- www.boysen.se www.looproom.com

Getting frustrated trying to work with drum loop regions within Logic 4.8 on windows ME. trying to follow manual to no avail. I am importing in a .wav file, easily copying but can't move the regions by 1 click like the manual suggests, to get them to line up. Also tried using start and end positions within event list, but I can't change start and stop position. Anyone with experience please help. I have only used Logic at this point to record "live" musicians. I want to get into more "remixing" etc. Thanks! for any help.

Make sure you have your environment tempo set to match the temp of the loop you're importing.

Is this from an installer other than the one you get by purchasing Panther? A special CD they send because you bought a machine that came with Jaguar after Panther was released, maybe? I ask because there is no separate Panther Upgrade product; when you buy Panther it's the full $129, and you get the full version whether it's a new purchase or you already own Jaguar, 10.0, etc. Confusedly yours, Brian ___________________________ Logic Audio Platinum 6.3.3 PowerMac G4 933MHz OS X 10.3.2 1 GB RAM M-Audio Delta 24/96 (fed via S/PDIF from a Yamaha DSP Factory)

Emagic, Please read the letter below. It pretty much describes how we all feel about Logic's Audio Capabilities for working seamlessly. Please believe me when I say that more than a few hundred people that need what this message describes. I still love logic, but I moved from PC to Mac, and I really loved Sound Forge for audio editing. After moving to the Mac I haven't found a program that allows me to work as fast as I could on PC, but the idea of having sample accurate cutting of audio in the arrange window and allowing us to move audio to any location we want, i.e. not limited to tick mark resolution, is awesome!

For me the partykiller is the lack of sample-accuracy in the arrange window. I want to zoom all the way in, make my cut precisely where the zero-cross is, grab the edge and drag the soundbite to some easily discernable predefined beat on the time ruler, flash to the other edge, cut it at the zero cross closest to the same time division, zoom out. In PT, or Cubase, or DP, I can do the above in about 5 seconds in the same window, and have a seamless, popless loop placed exactly where I need it. In Logic, it takes 5x longer and I have to keep switching out to the sample editor, and I'm never 100% confident I'm actually at the right beat division until I press play and hear it. So yes, I can do it in Logic, I can't argue that it's 'fine'. It's just that I cut my teeth on editors that are 'exemplary', and I miss them at times.

i've heard that disk utilities aren't as "required" as they were in os 9. are disk "utilities" necessary-- outside osX's "disk utility"? are norton or diskwarrior necessary after the move from os 9? tv

Been looking into ASIO drivers for a Soundblaster Value Card in my Dell Dimension. I'd like to install the 'KX Drivers' (ASIO) but have read they won't work with a 'Dell' Soundblaster because of the way Dell "configures" their cards ...... Does anyone have any experience or opinions on this ??? Thanks, ck I could just get another card but for what I'm doing (home/band recording) the SBLive is fine ......

Diskwarrior 100% YES. There is nothing like diskwarrior to keep your filesystem running smooth. It's good to run every other month or so. Norton is only useful for repairing files. It's not reliable for other repairs and apple does not advise running speed disk. It could actually make your computer slower. ...Alex On Mar 20, 2004, at 9:33 PM, tony vincent wrote: > i've heard that disk utilities aren't as "required" as they were in  > os 9. > are disk "utilities" necessary-- outside osX's "disk utility"?  are > norton > or diskwarrior necessary after the move from os 9? > tv

Well, I can only speak from experience and my OS X machine gets a speed boost after every defrag. I do it every two weeks and it works like a charm. And boom, faster working. Where is all this slowing down stuff coming from? Did someone actually try doing it and found it to be slower? Am I not paying attention to my system that I use about 15 hours a day? Do I not know what it actually feels like for the tasks I'm performing.. well... everyone judge for themselves, but don't say things in a way where they sound like a fact. If it's your experience that it's slower say so, because my experience is certainly the opposite. Cheers Hans
