greetings,
I'm looking for a comprehensive set of soft synths and drum machines running on os x that will likely be compatible with what ever platform I eventualy decide to invest in (logic 5.3, cubase sx, digital performer) I have limited experience working with midi and am wondering if Reason 2.0 with a midiman usb keyboard would be a good way to go. Thanks all, W |

QUOTE (eyeMAJIC @ Sep 28 2002, 15:09) QUOTE (taco6 @ Sep 28 2002, 00:42) I use mostly PC only programs...so now I am looking for replacements for my usual stuff that run in OS X. Hi Taco6. I am in a very similar situation to you!! Up until July 2002, was using a Dell Inspiron 8000 based DAW. USB conflicts, crap latency and spikes in all my audio when the fans kicked in and out. NIGHTMARE!! Took the plunge & got a Ti Book 800 (never used a Mac before EVER!!) Just fantastic. Here's a good example.... Reason 2.0 with Tascam US-428 on Windows 98SE with the Dell, P3 1.13Ghz?? Lowest usable latency was 26ms. YUCK!! Reason 2.0 with US428 under Mac OS X?? Lowest usable latency is 3.6ms. I KID YOU NOT. Give Steve Jobs reason to grin and MAKE THE SWITCH NOW!! ![]() I use IK Multimedia T-racks for mastering Reason tracks. It's the perfect complement: adds lovely tonal detail & subtle nuances that would be impossible with Reason's effects. Only had the PC version..... which I now have running almost perfectly in a guest installation of Win 98SE through Connectix Virtual PC 5.0 in OS X 10.2!! I say "almost", coz when you do a live preview, tweaking knobs etc while the audio is playing, you get a bit of crackling & breaking up. But, when you "process" the track, the resulting audio file is perfect. Must be something to do with the way virtual PC ports Windows-generated audio to Mac audio..... Perfrectly usable though, and better than shelling out another 300 USD or so for the dedicated Mac version (which I think may be OS9 only anway?!) (sorry for the length!! ![]() Don't worry...I'm buying an Apple in three weeks. Also, I will continue using PCs as well. I'm not worried about not being able to do what I want...I will start to build my Apple software library up right away...it is an exiciting time with the big shots starting to make stuff for OS X. I just think it pays to own both systems if you can afford it. I like a few PC only programs still...so I need a PC...but I love the Macs reliability....and there are a few Mac only programs as well. I can't wait. |
