Re: WTF is 5th note?

My music life started as a cornet player. Got pretty good at it moved to trumpet became first chair and then after awhile other things became more important to me. I eventually discovered I loved the sound of 5ths by banging away at the black keys on a friends familys unused grand piano in a large b...

Re: Live + 3rd party plugins = FAIL

Okay so I just spent 252 hard earned dollars upgrading to Live Suite 8 during the 33% off sale after being away from the program & these forums for more than a couple of years. Looking at the issues that began this thread & the responses that came on page 9 I'm not very happy right now. I us...

Re: Trading my NS10 & a100a amp for Mackies Hr824...??

I've had the HR 824 MkIs nearly since they 1st came out & I love them. Always did want a pair of Genelecs (1032s?) but I couldn't afford them. Never had the NS10s. They were in almost every studio for so long they were a benchmark. You own them so you know their idiosyncrasies. I think the monit...

Re: rejoining live after 2 years

So cotdagoo,
Would you say things are solid now? Anything that still needs work?
What are some of your favorite things about the program's latest incarnation?

Re: mac osx lion and its effects on LIVE

I'm still on Leopard (10.5) My machine runs hot but still functions as I need it to. We'll see how it goes after my Live 8 install.

rejoining live after 2 years

I've decided to give live another try after a couple of years away from it. The Memorial weekend discounts motivated me to upgrade from live 6 to the live 8 suite. I'm hoping the audio quality is improved since I last used it & I'm looking forward to using all of the instruments that come with t...

Reasonably sized bus powered, Firewire 400, 7200rpm. I've had the OWC 200gig triple interface drive for about 2 & a half months and it's been great. It does drain the battery on my MacBook Pro much faster when using it bus powered. I'd say about one third faster, if not more. It came with the Hi...

I have wanted a Mac version of the z3ta+ for for a long time. I don't think it will happen though.

Right now I'm in the same mindset as inmazevo. Trying not to get any new softsynths. Sometimes it's just to hard to resist.

I don't know what laptop it is, but I would guess that the mp3 player is just plugged into a USB port.

Many of my apps are Universal Binary but not all. Should I update them before the migration?

The G5 is running OS 10.4.11, the MBP is OS 10.5.2.

Migrating

Is migration assistant the best way to go from my old 2.7Ghz G5 to my new to me mid 2007 2.2Ghz MBP? Should I start from scratch instead? Or should I use my install discs for Logic Studio, Ableton Live 6, Komplete 5 & the Gforce bundle & use the assistant for the rest? The G5 has 2 x 250 Gig...

I went to the Apple Store today and holding down control, command & v when starting up various MacBooks & MacBook Pros I saw that all of the MBs had the Lucent (Agere) chipset. And all of the MBPs had the TI (Texas Instruments) chipset. So not wanting to spend $2000 on a MBP I thought now I'...
