has anyone had difficulty with this combination?

I just got a 2nd hand PB and the ram is only 128 (I'm waiting on another 512 stick) but at the moment the sound from the 410 distorts cyclically (meaning it breaks up every second or even less.

cheers

it's great on my XP laptop - very very good in fact,latency is brilliant, really nice pre-amps, but I'm having a bugger of a time getting it to work properly on the firewire/pismo powerbook i just bought 2nd hand.....

All that I know about Metasynth is that Richard James hid a picture of his face in one of his songs, and Metasynth's sonograph was used to sneak it out.

Without cunning and trickery, you'll be stuck running OS 9 on a pre-G3 upgraded to a G4. The OS X installer won't work (directly) on such a system. That said you won't have to deal with the OS X overhead -- but you lose the OS X goodies like stability, UNIX, being able to run recent apps, etc ...

also, would it be better to load os9? And would my USB2 PCI card on my PC work on it?

cheers

the system you describe would not perform very well.. especially with live and rewire going on. the system bus on a 7200 is VERY slow, a 400mhz g4 isn't too snappy for running X, and X is not supported on upgraded cpus like that so installing would require some work arounds. Unless you can get one ...

Okay, it got too much for me and i had to check out Metasynth so I managed to get hold of a power pc 7200/90 from work with an audiomedia 3 sound card in it and just saw on ebay someone selling exactly the same one upgraded to a G4 400 mhz, is that the max possible? if not how much can i up the CPU ...

I can tell you from experience that it's easier and ultimately more productive to get a Mac and use OS X. But some folks have to find out for themselves :wink:

what's this? could it be The final clincher for the mac vs PC debate?

personally i think it'll never be over until the billgatesoid ...

IF you haven't had a good look at the links page, do yourself a favour, there's some really good tools there

I also got panorama 51 from http://www.voyagersound.com/html/main.php ...

this might be obvious, but I just assigned the solo buttons to qwertyuio on the keyboard and am finding this is a fine way of doing what i suggested - now if only you'd stuck useful stickers like numbers/notes etc to use on the keyboards and controllers in the box... :(

limited to 10 tracks that ...

just another 'bump' to further register the experience of irritation at getting something going with the solos and having to click back through them to get back to the full mix.....
