yes this will work.. I did it last week to my macbook.. ran out of space.. i cloned the drive (upgraded to a bigger faster drive) with a usb to sata/ide adapter cable ($19 at fryes) made extra partitions beforehand.. swapped it out.. good to go.. all my audio apps, plug ins, etc work like it never h...

hi i noticed this too. my Girl got a new silver mac laptop (circa) 2 moths ago.. the thing was unbelievably SLOW. i have a 2 year old white mac book running 10.4 that destroys hers. Hers goes beachball opening itunes. takes like 2 seconds after selecting a song.. i was so pissed for her, but she rea...

i have one from a post production studio... we used to stripe one of the tracks with time code to lock an audio mix to picture... movies and tv stuff pre DAW....

nice... i like the tab trick too.

i've been using macs since i was in 5th grade, so i guess that term is just an old habit.
I'm going to bring it back. so much cooler sounding than "command".

edit the loop in the arrangement window (make a nice 4 bar loop from that great drum break etc.) open apple e then consolidate (this gets rid of the audio you don't use leaving a nice clean 4 bar loop for the clip window) open apple j drag the clip to the icon on the right side of the screen that si...

interesting about the 001. i have my system on the original g4 466 (really slow by todays standards) i upgraded from a digi 001 bit by bit. just the mix core card and one 888/24 at first then additional mix farm cards. i had a record deal at the time and our producer had a mix system it was the top ...

these systems are rock solid and sound great. had mine for almost 5 years, never changed a thing, never updated. no need to. i do have a couple of laptops that get used on stage or for writing. but i treat my mix3 like its my tape machine. everything gets mixed off of that platform. way more powerfu...

This looks kinda cool. http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MidAir-main.html Wireless midi... think you can be like 30 feet. it's a keytarists dream come true! but seriously, i'm thinking about picking one of these up. could be great for linking a music computer on stage to a video/multimedia compu...

i have a powerbook g4 1.33 GHz 1.25 gigs of ram. i've used pro tools on stage for the last 2 years with this machine for backing loops, and sending midi out for our light show and reason softsynths rewired. all outputs with 002 rack. i would stay with 10.4 or 10.3.9 DON'T go to 10.5 yet. you don't h...

in the lou reed Transformer making of dvd they talk about the recording of "walk on the Wildside" They interview session bassist Herbie Flowers. He told a funny story about how session musicians would try to get the producer to let them double their melody line on another instrument, thus earning th...

i've been in a similar situation. if the lyrics and melody are already completed then "legally" thats the song, at least thats how a publisher, courts and most songwriters would see it. Also artists can be very touchy when it comes to their publishing %'s. i've seen drummers let go over things like ...

i would wait a bit, i've heard horror stories with pro tools, reason, recycle... i'm a waitin till jan 08. thats just me.
