Wow! Flutter?

WOW! Flutter? Why does an accoustic instrument recording (Vln, Vcl, accoustic guitar) sound terrible when saved as an “itune” file? Sounds fine when played with LOGIC 7 (Express) but when saved and played as an “itune” the flutter is so bad on certain notes that the file is useless. Not surprisingly, it is string pizz and, most of all, guitar harmonics which are the most noticable. Anyone have any suggestions other than not usiing “itunes”? Thanks very much.

Emac Alert?

Two Emacs purchased in Dec. had bad Mother boards. The first would not boot and returned and the second would not shutdown after a few weeks of service. Perhaps only coincidence but if others are having similar problems, you may want to think before you buy one.

G4 Dual Sys. (9.2 & 10.3)

Has anyone had experience using old Automedia & SampleCell cards with the G4 dual start machines. Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Problems With Finale Files & Midi Interface

My MIDI files sometimes drop notes using Studio 4. Tried configuring using both modem & printer ports. Could not hear any difference and using both ports seemed to cause really maddening problems elsewhere.
Other than the usual (shortening note stop times, etc.) any suggestions?

I have a USB MIDIMAN (1 in-1 out). Might I get better results with it.
My music is complex and the drop-outs seem to always occur after a series of very fast notes.

For whatever it is worth, am running a beige G3 with sys. 9.0.4. Automedia III & SampleCell PCI cards. Use Finale 2001 for most of my sequencing.

Thanks for any suggestions!
