Re: iMac vs Mac Pro -- Need some advice on an invesment

I took the plunge on a 6core mac pro not too long ago...highly recommended. it was a big investment, but I can already tell that I'll be thoroughly satisfied for a long time.

Re: 4 things I need help with in Live.

1. Hold down command/ctrl while you drag the fader, that will slow it down to .1db increments. 2.

Re: Mac Pro (late 2013) anyone?

i'm in the market for a new computer and am looking at the new 6 core mac pro. I don't usually use more than 15 tracks in a song,but I do like a lot of CPU heavy plugs, ie Diva, soundtoys and fabfilter plugins, etc. would be nice to run things at a low buffer without the clicks and pops I currently ...

Re: How is Deadmau5 making the drums in this song so LOUD??

well he definitely layers his four on the floor pattern with a nice sharp hat on every beat that is slightly panned to the right, this gives a nice transient to the kick. on every two, there's and a snare slightly panned to the left , this creates a nice effect with the alternating pans of the hats ...
