egg has very good deals on the components right now. I can get an A8V
deluxe with 2G of Corsair RAM and an AMD 64 4400 x 2 for around $800.00.
That oughta get me what I need here and then some.
Thanks,

old on Macs in the 80s when the Atari
offered better MIDI features at a lower price and the Amiga offered a
more exciting computing vision, although the Mac of that time still had
some advantages in available software.
Fast forward to the 90s. OS7-8-9 were careening off the tracks - stuck
in decisions and mistakes of the 80's. No preemptive multitasking, no
clean protected memory design, band-aid on top of band-aid to wire
around obsolete legacy code. And after years of unsuccessfully
attempting to rewrite their way out of the bag, scrapping the whole mess
and starting over with OSX was the salvation of the company.
You could argue that the GUI and some operating specs should have
changed less. I would agree in some ways and disagree in others. For
example, requiring a ".xxx" extention in the name for file
identification was a step backwards. But for the most part the changes
were for the better. For example, core audio is great.
The transition wasn't cheap. But it did capitalize on the experience of
NeXT and the engineering talent they acquired with the buyout.
Reportedly it was either that or buy BeOS, the other major option on the
table. Both were good choices with advantages and disadvantages.
At this point the dual G5 boxes out now have plenty of muscle and
available software for audio production, with the ability to do amazing
amounts of real time tracks, virtual instruments and effects.
Speaking of desktop hardware speed, at times Motorola has been faster,
at times, Intel, at times AMD and at times IBM. Motorola's
slower-than-expected rollout of improved G4 chips and then IBM's
slower-than-expected rollout of G5 upgrades the last few years have put
Apple trailing more often than not on the muscle car front, but to say
"extremely slow" is innaccurate. At the moment, the quad G5 has a pretty
good claim for leader of the desktop pack and the duals are no slouches.
Offering Intel chips will put OSX head to head with MSWindows and it
will be interesting to see that comparison.
Price wise, Apple has been a bit more expensive, about the same or a bit
less than comparable offerings from similar turnkey computer companies
depending on the product range or how you compare. The downward trend on
prices overall has not exempted Apple, Mac prices have come down over
the last few years (despite their unfortunate decision to pull the plug
on Mac clone manufacturers).
For those who want to build their own boxes, especially in
configurations Apple has not offered, that can be a money saving option.
I say "can be" and not "will be" money saving because some box builders
I know end up turning over their hardware fairly often. And their old
hardware typically holds a lower resale value than Apple hardware. So
whether building your own boxes is cheaper in the long run is not always
a sure thing.
Factor in the time spend researching, building, testing, replacing
components, fussing with drivers, customizing your MSWindows setup.
Then, depending on what your time is worth, the comparison may come out
differently. But there's no denying that building your own box may give
you a closer approximation of what you want, assuming Apple doesn't
already offer what you want and assu

ming you don't want OSX and you
really like MSWindows, BSD or Linux.
Speaking of BSD and Linux, if up front cost is the measure, by far the
cheapest-upfront-cost way to go is to build your own box and run an open
source OS and software. For example: ubuntulinux.org/download/ The back
end costs are similar for any box building adventure, time spent getting
it all to work and getting software happening.

>>Hi DJ,
>>Deej,
I'm using the ASUS A8V-Deluxe with a 7 % overclocked dual core 3800 CPU(49
degrees Celsius), but not for Paris use. I'm using ATI 3700 graphiccard with
it and E-MU 1820M audiosystem. No problems at all with the little use I have
had with audio works on it.
For the Paris system, I'm now using an Epox 9NDA3+ motherboard with a 3200+
processor. It couldn't use my Matrox G550 card with it, so I buyed a G-Force
FX5200 card, to be sure it would work with the nForce3 Ultra chipset on the
motherboard. I'm using an Artic-Cooling Freezer 64 Pro on the processor and
a North-Q 400w power supply with a 140 mm super silent fan. I must say I
was asstonished when I saw the temperature was stable at about 42 degrees
Celsius on both processor and motherboard when driving the system hard.
Between the two Paris card it showes about 10-12 degrees higher, so the new
system is about 10-15 degrees cooler than my old Asus A/V600-X board with a
3000+ processor. On the old system I had for the most problems wit Paris and
WinXP, but on the new system, I havn't had any problems at all on both WinME
or WinXP after using it a couple of weeks. So I'm crossing my fingers that
WinXP now will work as WinME allways have done for me. So, it seems to be a
wonderful system if you're not using Matrox graphic cards with it, so Doug,
here you're out.
I have tested both boards with recoding videoes with Nero 7 and the dual
core system was unbelievable more speedy.

>>Hi Mike,
No offense taken at all. I didn't mean to say OS 7-8-9 was useless,
either, just that I was never impressed with it on a technical basis,
whereas OSX does impress me. Glad you got good use out of OS9 despite my
naysaying. :^)
OSX is not just "old UNIX" - it's been developed for media production
and offers significant advantages. Before you dismiss Core Audio, or for
that matter the other core media elements, you might want to look into
what's there. It took a lot of work for Apple to get to this point. And
Apple is way ahead of the game on this.
Most of my software that needs it does advantage of dual processors and
would take advantage of quad processors. It's actually not "just
marketing." It's faster DVD encoding, more audio plugins (like I need
any more than my dual 2.5GHZ can do already), faster animation
rendering, etc. etc.
BTW, when OSX goes Intel it will be able to take good advantage of the
next round of Intel duallies.
Anyway, enjoy what you have. What matters in the end is the music we make.
Cheers,
-Jamie

Edna,
I really don't have any better answer for you. Control S is your friend =
though.
Maybe you found another Paris bug? Like grabbing too many tracks in the =
editor and changing their lengths together? That one gets me once in a =
while.
Lesson is Control S, Cut all tracks needing editing to the exact same =
length,
Control S, then do the edit, then control S.
I wish I could be of more help. Maybe you do have an issue with Paris =
and your computer.
My assertion failures usually have something related to .dll in their =
title.

By chance are you using a P4 chip? If so make sure

Certainly worth a look.
Also, you might want to check out the Cakewalk forums/news. They're leading
the charge on 64 bit Windows audio computing.

to do our summing. More
parts don't necessarily make a better product. There are some passive designs
out there for free, some good, some bad. Justin being a cool guy has even
given advice to folks building their own. Fred Forsell also has some designs
posted on his website. It might be a good place to start, but there are
a couple of known issues with his designs.
http://www.forsselltech.com/summing_buss_schematics.htm
I guess what I am ultimately saying is that I would think very carefully
before plopping down $2-3K for a summing box. If I weren't willing or able
to do the research and build my own, I'd buy a Roll mixer. Just my $0.02.

Why not try using CreamwarePUlsar card which has "no latency" like Paris
using its midi drivers with cubase ?
Also you can use their own samplers (Pulsar's) which load any AKAI sample
library Piano.
I am using it that way myself.
Its a complete hardware system...

I did get a new 200 gig drive last night and reinstalled xp and did not add
anything other than the video card and started copying from the fat32 drive
to the new drive and the system copied about 20 gig to the new drive and
powered down and started back up and the window error was back. I had no
drivers installed at this time for the video card I was trying to eliminate
everything possible. Any ideals. the error was BCP1: 3CF70020 of course there
are more numbers if needed
Thanks, David
