AudioFinder will drag to a DAW as well as the Finder. But it can't instantly spot the selection to a DAW like Snapper does (only for Pro Tools that is). I see the benefit of dragging a selection directly to finder or to a DAW to create a new file, but I don't see how snapper's way of instantly spot...

Thanks guys, ya I did download the snapper demo, and it does do what I'd like, but it's more the audio finder functionality in comparison I was curious about, because I demo'd that a while back and didn't think I'd get to again. To me it sounds like AF does everything snapper does, except for stick ...

And yes AF does do the Finder searching thing that Snapper does, just not quite as elegantly, but it does do it. So you can have AF set up so that when you select an audio file in the finder, a little box pops up beneath it, allowing you to quickly create a new audio file from a section of the sele...

snapper vs. audiofinder?

Anyone do any detailed research into the pros/cons? They're about the same price, snapper a little more actually. Snapper certainly looks very convenient, but does audio finder now do a similar thing where it pops up under your finder window? I thought I read that somewhere. Anyways, I 'd like to gr...

Is it 4200 rpm or 5400? I dig having the 160gb 7200rpm... but that 320 barrier is mighty appetizing. 5,400. I'd prefer it to 7,200 for the size, as well as probably less heat/power consumption. Benchmarks show that the two aren't too different performance-wise anyways. This one is also 3.0 gb/s ins...

question about leopard, i bought it for like a $120 dollars from the apple store and they said that I couldn't do a fresh install that I had to install it over tiger, whats up with that? That's BS, you can do a clean install. You'll lose all your data of course, so make sure everything is backed up...

Yeah, I've been seriously eyeing that myself, I take it you used the ifixit.com site for install info? Pretty easy to do for the most part? Actually not quite. I've been crazy busy lately and didn't really want to take the time to figure it out, so I paid a few bucks to a guy at a little local comp...

Actually, only about 200 dollars. I found it at a canadian place on-line with free shipping, but there's lots of good american ones I've seen too, like newegg.com. Don't know what it would be elsewhere.

There are electronic music purists? Surely everyone likes good old acoustic instruments too no?

But yeah you gotta love the hybrid type bands, mixing the live feel with electronica. My personal favs. I've always liked stuff like primal scream, NIN, or banks like salmonella dub from New Zealand.

Just put a 320 gb HD in my macbook pro. diggin' it.

So I just ordered the Western Digital 320 gb hard drive a few days ago and now I got it up and running. I wasn't sure if I'd use the time machine function in to put everything back on the disk as it was or just do a fresh install, but I ended up going for a fresh install. So I'm sitting here re-inst...

Hey man, you do realize that if you got a new macbook pro, you'd be able to run over four times more plug-ins at once compared to your powerbook right? The intel chip is much faster, not to mention dual core. Sure you could throw down a bunch of cash on a mac pro, but the lappies and imacs are both ...

Re: Hot swaping drum machines drums

Seems wierd.. Hot swaping the sample in one slot, and the new sample appears in another slot... Or on the same slot, but different note. This happens with Drum Machines only. Works fine with my own drum samples. Hey. I don't know if you noticed, but I re-created the classic drum machines so that ea...

Ya, I was demoing them last night. And I would agree with a previous post that Cube 2 sounds the best. However, I have no idea what most of the controls do. In general, I understand how this type of synthesis works, but I don't understand the layout and parameters of these synths well enough to be a...
