That classic movie 'Emmanuel' has a soundtrack which is a straight rip-off of a King Crimson track taken from 'Larks tongues in aspic'. Very off-putting.

I just got mine - a 15 inch MPB refurb.

21% off retail price from apple store

Very happy with it - best of all it came with 4 Gb RAM instead of the 2 Gb it was advertised at!

Sadly no, the FX are handled by the computer, they just have an ultra low latency hardware output which you can listen to as you play

some soundcards have this very feature - zero latency monitoring while you play to be clear, that means you're not applying any effects to your signal, you play completely dry then add the effects later, so it's kind of a moot point (but I see why you posted it.). Well yes and no. In both instances...

FreeAmp, although as others have mentioned, latency will kill your feel for the music. So what's the solution to the latency problem other than having a faster computer? Is there anything that can offset the latency somehow? iow, does plugging it into some type of hardware device mitigate the laten...

Yeah, I am really paranoid about going Firewire. There are known issues w/ a certain era of MacBooks FireWire chipsets (the Lucenta chip) and mine is that era. I dont have any issues w/ latency as is just running my outputs through the headphone jack so I am good to go w. USB. Thank you Leeds, I ap...

. except for two pretty important issues: 1, you cant use third party plugins with live any more, and ofcourse then not with reason either. 2: you cant send audio input to reason. 1: bollox, of course you can. Its only when ableton is a rewire slave you can't do that. 2: that's always been true of ...

These work together very well. Reason does not however work as a VST so not sure what you're getting at there. It works via rewire instead. It really couldn't be simpler - start Live then start Reason, and use the 'External Instrument' device to send midi notes to any Reason instrument and get the a...

You need drum racks for this. If you don't have it you can just use the samples, but if you have Reason there's a great free refill with similar stuff you can download from the Props site (or possibly the combinators hq site, can't remember) called Rackmounted Toybox by Lizard.rfl It has the alphabe...
