Take a look at www.digitalfishphones.com. The fish-filets plug-ins are good tools for OSX.

hey nicka
are you happy with the change frrom pc to mac. I'm considering it but its not as straightforward as i had hoped. It sometimes seems that the only reason to change is to look cool.
Centrinos do seem to be very powerful.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

SMARTELECTRONIX

this group of developers is one of my favorites:
www.smartelectronix.com makers of such classics as Analog Delay, Supatrigga, Supa Phaser,

also, check out:
http://www.alphakanal.de/snipsnap/space/Buzzer2

make sure to turn on Audio Units in your plugin preferences... and check out the Apple AU's that came free with your mac. namely the Hipass, Lowpass, and Matrix Reverb (which at its highest setting uses less cpu than ableton reverb at its lowest setting

). These AU's are highly cpu effecient, and they dont suck either

Zenke, alphakanal's (AU Only) Generator is one of the best reasons to use a mac.

Buzzer blew me away as well! That guy should charge for his synths, I 'm glad he doesn't though. Can't wait to see what he puts out as a commercial product!

yea it been pretty easy altho i take a good few days of transfering everything and setting live up from scratch again and re finding all the plug-ins and such

but the main reason i went for an iBook was cos i was in las vegas and came accross the apple store and thought why not
