Tax

In the USA there is sales tax to be added. Most prices are displayed without sales tax. Sales tax varies from state to state.

In the EU we have VAT - which is mainly the same - around 17.5%. This is usually included in the displayed price.

If you import a USA version then you will need to pay the ...

Make some decisions

You need to make some decisions:

Which machine will have the external HDD - that will be the sharer and the other will access the shares. For example, if the Windows has the drive then you will need to share it and any other folders/drives. The Mac user will need to Connect to the share once you ...

Newbie Q: Ducking

I have tried searching for this topic but found nothing.

So my question: I want to create a setup that provides ducking. What I understand by ducking is that in PA/DJ sense is that when every a live vocal is brought in then the level of the currently playing audio is reduced to permit the vocal to ...

Thanks


to put it simply - two audio tracks - one containing the clip you want to fade, and the second track loaded with dummy-clips with the relevant clip envelope, for instance a 4-bar fade out. Now, set the output of the first track to the input of the second. The second track should be set to no input ...

Newbie Q: Auto Fade out when manually triggered

I have a long audio clip, I want to be able to manually trigger the track to fade out with a pre-defined fade out envelope. I cannot know in advance when I want the fade out to begin.

If you can afford the iMac G5, then get the G5 - the step up in performance is great over the G4. Yes the mini is more portable but you have lug a screen around as well.

Remember that the Mac's built in audio-in is 16bit 44.1kHz and output can be up to 24bit 96kHz. In is mini-jack and out is mini ...

I read an interesting article in Sound On Sound about Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) in that at an OS-level you can aggregate sound devices, such as combing two sound cards to present to Live (for example) a new sound device that is an aggregate of the two actual physical devices.
