Well, in my new band, mac nightmare, four of us use 16 macs to run a four/four beat. The only sound source is the boot sound the mac makes when it starts up.minimal wrote:you guys you use computers to boot or make music.... get a life.. people are producing records with 800 € laptops...wtf?

So, in short, we have to time it right and start them at exactly the right moment to maintain the

As soon as you have gotten to your fourth mac you have to hurry back to the first, shut down all four, run back to the first again and restart them all to keep the cycle going in perfect time.

In order to do this we have to know how fast our macs are going to boot and shut down. We are able to play for 45 minutes like this and maintain speeds up to 30 bpm! It's expensive as fuck and a pain in the ass but it works.

what is your clocked time?

yeah, is it just me or was the G5 in that clip unnaturally slow any way? Maybe it's just the perception of time, but it certainly looked alot slower than I would expect - I think my athlon 2200 boots quicker!

48 seconds. So, its actually slower than the mactel by about 10 seconds. I don't know if it matters. but I have stuffit deluxe and adobe version cue as startup items.Digi V wrote:smutek wrote:My G5 boots quicker than the intel imac.

I do agree that the G5 imac in the video seemed unusually slow. It took almost as long as my wifes G3 graphite to start up. Well, not quite that long but something did not seem right.
