DVD Rom-spectrasonics

Post by SIXTO » Sun Feb 27, 2005 3:59 pm

Stylus rmx requests a DVD rom... would any dvd rom work for this? I see them go from 30-300 bucks... if I could get away with the one that goes for $40 that would be great....

Hmm...I didnt know Spectrasonics was charging $30 for anything. Stylus RMX was a free upgrade for me but I still paid somewhere around $250 for it. They recently came out with another upgrade which they may have charged $30 if you wanted that upgrade on DVD. I can see the cost of packaging, dvd, and shipping charges coming in at $30.

My internal hard drive is almost full... But I have a external 80 gig 7200 rpm, that is connect through usb... Could I use that to run Live, and all spectrasonics gear from that??? Or would I need to get a internal one..(which i dont know if my computer has a slot for it)..

Thanks for the help though

you can install the spectrasonics stuff to an external hard drive.
just watch the movie that comes on the Spectrasonics DVD Disc 1. it will tell you how to do a "custom" install.

I was just told to avoid that because of latency.. but is that true....
So the only reason they recommend a dvd drive is too watch the dvd... I could pop that in my Playstation and watch it right???? Once again thanks dude :D

Sixto,

It looks like Stylus Rmx comes on a DVD-rom, so I think your going to need a DVD-rom drive to install it. I would suggest you get a DVD writer rather than just a DVD reader, it will probably not cost much more that just a DVD-Rom drive, you can then use the DVD writer to backup and archive the stuff on your PC as well.

Also I was under the impression that Stylus Rmx was a bit of a pain to use with Live, because you can’t drag and drop the midi files? Please correct me if I’m wrong on this.

Stylus is a bit of a pain to use in live, I've talked to people at Spectrasonics and I hope they'll fix it soon (the only problem being you have to have a special folder set up on your desktop for midi files, it's not so drag/dropable). Stylus is pretty amazing thought, beats just create themselves. You're not the Sixtoo who made "Chewing on Glass" are you? Great album if it was you...J

I think it's Live 4.1 that doesn't support drag n drop, not Stylus. I have other VSTis that won't drag n drop to the Live 4.1 Sequencer, but will in Acid Pro 5.
