just curious, I really liked the snare sound on "watch and ward " (I think that was the title), do you remember your set up?

JdJ,
Yeah, I got the 1.2 single processor. I'm using PT LE 6.9.2 with the 002r. Sounds like maybe you're using the 001?

Yeah, JdJ, you're right about the partitioned drive. Luckily mine was set up that way. Installing the new firmware (before doing anything else) was actually the most complicated part, and even that wasn't really that bad. Sonnet gives you the link at apple to go to and then you have to install a fir...

Hey thanks everybody for the input. Just thought I'd let y'all know what I did... A local(ish) place here in Portland had a decent price on a Sonnet Encore 1.2Ghz upgrade for my 400mhz G4 (AGP) so I bought it. Installed it myself, which means it was easy because I definitely do not build computers. ...

I'd especially love to hear from anyone starting with the 400mhz AGP (just in case it somehow makes a difference).

Thanks for the info. and, wow, bummer. Sorry to hear that. I wonder if it would make any difference that my machine is starting out at 400mhz (instead of 350)? Not that I doubt the crappiness of your experience at all MechaGodzilla, but just out of curiosity, did anyone have any positive results?

Sorry if this has been discussed before... Has anyone upgraded a mac G4 400mhz (AGP Graphics) with a new processor (say 1.5ghz or something similar) and then successfully run any version of Pro Tools LE with multiple tracks and plug-ins? I just read Hillary's review of a processor upgrade but wasn't...

hey, thanks a lot.

I'm pretty new to digital recording so please forgive a possibly stupid question: Thinking about buying the Mbox (and Pro Tools LE for OSX) and wondering if the USB is the only connection I need for recording or must I use both the USB and the SPDIF in order to record? I ask becasue my laptop does n...
