I had read a lot of reports about backlight problems with the Dell 20" widescreen LCD, so I went with the Apple and have no regrets. Granted I am a graphic artist first and foremost, so for someone using the screen for non-graphic work this might not be an issue.

I need three MIDI switches that have one in and two outs with a switch that can choose the destination of either output. So if I had a master keyboard outputting into the MIDI switch in then I could switch between the two outputs. My searching on the net found Phil Rees and Kenton MIDI switches. They are both discontinued products. This makes me think the need for MIDI switches has changed over the years. I need three of them. Roman Pirie.

As you are posting to the Logic EXS forum, I'm assuming you need this to split your master keyboard to more than one EXS instrument at a time. You don't need a MIDI switcher to do this, it can be done within the Logic environment. You would jsut change the channel on your keyboard. e.g the Channel splitter.

i am trying to sync my MPC to Logic express 7... so when i press play in logic it triggers my MPC to start.. i am wondering how i do this..??? does anyone know?? if not where should i look?? rj

I have a lot of disk images of sample cds that i would like to get into the Exs24. I have converted Akai and Giga cds before with sucsess. But I do not understand what kind of format the new sample cds are ?! The disk images have folders containing partions (A-I) . Inside the forlders there are example a subfolder called "conga" and inside there are a file called "-conga basic.fxp" and a folder contailing a conga sample. I think maybe the .fxp is a halion standard? How can I convert theese sample cds to EXS 24 instruments so that they are ready to be played on a keyboard?! Help would be very nice:-) pete

Has anyone tried MidiQuestXL? I downloaded the demo the other day and could not get it to work. It just constantly crashed!

Who decides what sounds like crap. You can measure headroom, floating points etc but you can't really say which sounds better than the other, it will always be your personal opinion. I recently saw an interview with John Cale who has I think had a point when he said that nothing gets better only different. These days when you talk about sound quality you mostly refer to how loud the record sounds. In music terms that means to what extent you have been able to take out all dynamics and stay at an infinate peak. Has anybody wondered why the Beatles are still one of the best selling bands in the world, now to the 3rd generation after their split-up. I looked it up and they we're bestselling in 97, 98, 00 and 01. I seriously doubt that they would have done better if they had been recorded in 32/192.

The one caveat that I find expensive, quality, high-end gear really affords is time. I basically agree with you. I can get great sounds with a tin can and a piece of string... but it takes a lot longer and your options are limited. With a great signal chain and a great instrument, I find that I usually get a great sound sticking the mic in front of the instrument with minimal fuss. It lets me concentrate on other stuff. ...and say, mightn't it be time for this (perfectly interesting) thread maybe moved over to the OT list? best, Nathan ___ Nathan Rosenberg Music Production The Doghouse NYC www.doghouseNYC.com

One of my original reasons for starting this thread, was the idea that the end user (the public) most likely will ultimately be comparing all the music to listen to, (whether they realize it or not). I am sure that most will agree that these days, lots of people listen to their music collection in some sort of music player such as iTunes or some other such application. And whether they listen to the original .aiff or mp3 or aac - all this music is still side-by-side next to each other, so whether they are professional musicians able to dissect the minute audio differences between songs or just "regular people" who might say something like "that song is kind of dull sounding", the sonic aspects are being compared, at least somewhat. Having said all of that, that is one aspect of why I was concerned with getting the best sonic quality mixes - to be able to compare favorably - on a sonic quality level, with the best music out there. And that is why this thread has helped so much - so thanks to everybody! -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat@hosting4days.com [db-lists]

I am a relatively ameteur user coming from a PC background. I am about to move to a Mac and Logic environment. I have two questions: 1. Can Mac run Logic and Final Cut on the same machine without too much difficult? In the PC world, using your machine for both presented problems; as did using your audio machine for anything else, like word processing, internet, etc. 2. Is it wise to buy a new G5 with OSX now or should I be waiting for the new Intel-based machines? I tend to be cautious and would prefer to let them work out the bugs first. But if I wait, will my OS be obsolete for upgrades and such in a year? Two? Any help is appreciated. Cheers

Hi all, Am considering purchasing the UAD-1 Studio Pak. Anyone on this list purchased or used this product? Any opinions out there on this? I'm just a little suspicious of how they can give these plug-ins names like LA-2A compressor, Pultec EQ's etc. Is this just marketing ; - ) thanks in advance, tc

The UAD plugins are one of the biggest, most talked about and highly regarded suites of plugins on the market period. They are physical models of the original hardware units.

My most used plugins are Cambridge, Fairchild, 1176, LA2A, Precision Limiter. I suspect I would use the Precision EQ a fair bit if I had it. At least some of these are extra $$$. I guess I'm saying the Ultra is worth it. This list is very quiet.

Hi there everyone! Once I saw a friend of mine sending a reverb fx to the singer headphones but without using an external device...I remember he used cool edit pro. I can do it in Logic (in the school, they are using a Mackie Onix firewire mixer, the only thing I have to do is to insert a reverb plugin to the audio channel and I hear it when the singer speaks before recording anything!!! but I try to do it at home using Cubase sx 3 and I can't!!! I'm using a MOTU 828 (not mkII, the old first one) Does it have to do with "direct mnitoring"? or what???? I don't understand!!! Please help me!

I don't think I would buy the UAudio board if I were to do it again. 1. The plugs are expensive - $150 - $250 EACH,on top of the price of the board 2. Unlike AU plugs which can be used on multiple computers and your powerbook, these are staying with the one computer that uses the board 3. Remarkably few instances of the plugs will choke the card. 4. There are a couple of decent compressors, but the channel strip, distortion, etc are crap. The plate reverb is superceded by Logic's own convolution verb which has plate emulations. I think if i were to do it again, I would get the Blue Tubes bundle or Sonalksys or maybe the Waves gold bundle. > My most used plugins are Cambridge, Fairchild, 1176, LA2A, Precision  > Limiter.

Blue Tubes, two questions: Do they really sell the bundle only, no single plugins? Do they sound as warm as they claim? I tested a lot of plugins last week and I am a bit tired to compare marketing speech to reality :-) ___ Peter Ostry Actually I hate that every company wants to "sound like" and "emulates perfectly" and sells "vintage" or "modern sound" and all that stuff. I do not want processors which let sound music old or young. I'm old myself and my music is rather young, most of it not even born yet. I want something which processes it properly. "Outstanding reverb algorithms" is a meaningful statement but something like "recreates the famous sound of the 70's" is bloody nonsense. We had a lot of terrible sound these days. And today and tomorrow. I don't want a washing machine with the perfect (low) quality of a 1960 model nor do I want the Nanowave UltraCleaner Future3000. I want someting which - washes.

I used Blue Tubes under system 9 but there is a trial version for X too. They sounded good, looked good, and were not too heavy on the processor. $400 for 16 plugs is a good deal compared to $500 for the current special for UA for three plugs (the master mind series). I would definitely buy the Blue Tubes had I not already sunk $1000 in the UA

To use the demo you have to go through a somewhat confusing challenge/response procedure. After trial and error I figured out the procedure, but I couldn't enter the response code. I tried to copy/paste it, but it wouldn't paste. Then I tried the "Read Response" button next to the response code window, but hat locked up my computer three times (the spinning multicolored wheel)...requiring multiple reboots. I could have entered the response code by hand, but it's 245 characters long...it's not worth my time. After a good 30 minutes or so trying to get the plugs to work (with no success), I deleted them from my hard drive. Maybe I am overreacting, but absolutely nothing turns me off more than a product that chews up my time. Maybe my experience with BT is unique, but it's an experience that has not warmed me up to the product. Dave
