acoustical instruments, with excellency results. There's plenty
of hardware out there that can serve the music well, it's just to find it.

to the pan positions when used in anything other than the full right position.
The mix knob is supposed to be presonus answer to monitoring live inputs
with no latency. When all the way left you are monitoring live inputs, when
all the way right you are monitoring the computer mix. It was counter-intuitive
to use this thing all the way right when not even connected to a computer,
but there you go...
So now I have an incredibly playable, fantastic sounding, great recording
digital piano and it only took me three years of screwing around with shitty
MIDIMAN and ROLAND USB midi controllers, different versions of GIGA and HALION,
different computers, licensing snafus...
So I've been playing this rig for about a week and feeling really good and
my giga box has started spontaneously rebooting from HEAT ISSUES!!!
The end
ChuckSorry about mucking up Deej's thread. I wasn't looking to start the whole
Mac vs. PC debate. I was just thinking out loud. I go through this same
kind of thing every time I build a new PC or upgrade, it's kind of a PITA.
I was just wondering if upgrading an Apple Intel mac will have the same
kind of issues? I hope they get it right. I wonder if Apple will have affordable
upgrade paths? Knowing Apple, they will probably solder in the processors
so you have to buy a whole new computer to upgrade.
This machine will be a whole new beast, I for one , will not be the first
to dive in! It will be interesting to see how these systems perform and
what problems they will have with them. People are already talking about
hacking them to run dual boot, with XP and Mac OS. Dual boot would be cool.
I'm thinking, that even though Apple will be using Intel hardware software
locking technology, some body will hack the new Mac OS and run it on a standard
PC with the new chip set. So it might be cheaper to wait.
I guess will know more Jan. 9th. A $299 Mac mini with a built in TV tuner
would be vary cool. A dual boot, multi processor tower with standard PCI
slots that could run Paris XP and Mac OSX would be even cooler!
Anybody have any thoughts?
JamesHi Chuk thanks a bunch for your comments..I too have been finally learning
MIDI,in order to play "soft synths",and drum samples...Very trying at best..
I have been having a huge latency problem from USB/MIDI. interface...Do all
the USB things do this? I am using a shitty old Yamaha keyboard for
controller..I hope I can figure it out...zmcleod

FX, etc. It's how it was done back when folks made good music, back in the
day....and hey! what do you know? It still works. So far, anyway....

ALL proprietary OS's to me are inferior to the free software alternative
save some critical apps (for me audio stuff) that will never get there. Once
you make the switch, you realize that the label on the front of the thing
is a red herring, a way to bring in revenue for not adding value and convince
people what computer they use makes them a certain kind of person. What a
person DOES with a computer (or a paint brush or a bowie knife or a PEZ dispenser)
defines the person, the rest is just marketing.
And yes, thanks for being silly ;-)

All of these plugins are very good, IMHO.
Merry Christmas

As I mentioned, I was curious to see the evidence you referred to.
Thanks for posting some links.
And yes, you are a platform hater but I understand. :^)
Looking at the links, Tiger 10.4.1 on a G5 dual 2.5 or 2.7 is shown to
be OK for workstation apps when altivec is used. Holds its own (their
example, LightWave - more examples would be appreciated but that's not
their focus). I use LW so it's pertinent to me.
They give thumbs down on server apps using open source software
(apparently not optimized for OSX?), and point out that specific choices
in the kernel are shown to be slower than Linux. It would be interesting
to see if the several OSX updates since then have done anything to
address that. For my use as a workstation, their limited examples make
it look like OSX on G5 is not a bad choice when software is optimized
for altivec. Actually it looked pretty good. And we're not talking quad
mac here which conceivably would be some amount better yet.
OTOH, the Opteron looked pretty good, too. It will be very interesting
to look at the upcoming Intel dual Yonah processor with OSX, in
(rumored) another couple of weeks, and see how that combination does.
This is all a moving target.
In the other link, the main bias is the same as yours: OSX is not open
source from top to bottom. True. Beyond that complaint, with his
specific statistical software he finds better performance under Linux
when testing on a couple of older G5 boxes. Not sure if this says much
about the music/graphics/video/animation apps that I use (other than his
complaint about accessing his PVR files, in which case maybe he should
consider the ElGato digital video boxes which work fine - although they
may not have been out when he wrote his review - the HD one rocks).
But I can see why he made the choices he did for his application.
It's good to have choices. Go Linux! Some of the software I use for
browsing, email, word processing, spreadsheet and software development
also run on Linux and I like that. BTW, I'm happy to see Linux
animation, audio, video, and graphics software moving ahead, step by
step. If you're involved in any of that, kudos to you!
For now, OSX and the available software for OSX offers a very capable
platform for the media production I do, and the dual 2.5GHZ box I use
is, for the most part, amazing. The kernel may have drawbacks for server
use, but it has some very nice features that support audio, video and
graphics system-wide.
It's not perfect, mind you. That's still out there waiting to happen.
Cheers,
-Jamie
