4200 dual core CPU is operating at 2200MHz? Is this normal? Does this mean
each core is operating at this speed, or both?
It's a bit faster than the XP 3000 that I was using on my old mobo, but
nothing tht would call for a tickertape parade.
Perhaps the juju is in the ability of these to handle heavier processing
loads?
Right now, I'm underwhelmed, but I haven't had a chance to really use this
for anything other than booting Windows and loading drivers.
;oPHmmmm........just checked my system info and now it shows two CPU's each
running at 2202MHz. This wasn't the situation last night. Also, the system
is running faster this morning than it was last night when I was having
problems with the drivers.......much faster. I'll post more about this as I
get into it.
Now that I've Ghosted the system drive, I'm getting ready to do the OS
tweaking., load drivers, etc.
I'll be coming up for air in a couple of hours.

ts to build me a custom computer case that will house 3 x mobos and all
the components for three DAWs in one big rolling case with all of the ports,
power access and PCI access sticking out the front. I'm envisioning
something bigger..........like the big mechanical spider in Wild Wild West.

PCI cards onboard. The Magma host card is in PCI slot #4 which doesn't share
an IRQ with any other system devices. Right now the RME cards are on IRQ 3

Now the question........I wondering if ACPI is intelligent enough so that
even if I come up with the UAD-1 cards sharing IRQ's with the RME cards or
other devices, they will still work. I seem to recall Brian T saying he had
lots of stuff sharing and was having no problems.
If I start having problems, I'm going to need to revert to standard PC mode.
I have forgotten how to do this, short of reinstalling Windows. I wrote it
down somewhere but I can't find it.
If someone would be so knnd, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
DeejI don't think you will have an issue with ACPI... but here
it is:
Device manager, Expand Computer Icon, Right click on ACPI PC
and "update driver"
- No, not this time - Next
- Install from a list - Next
- Don't search, I will choose - Next
- Scoll down to Standard PC... you can figure it out from
here (I hope).

Ouch! That has to hurt.
We all need to admit that the things we love and hate about or tools are
generally arbitrary and often emotional rather than practical.
That said, it good to see you can appreciate the G5 for its beauty and elegance…even
if it is “overpriced.”
I still like both platforms, but more and more I think I use PCs just to
prove to myself that I can build them and keep them running. (When I write
it down it look silly.)
Gene
P.S. I’ve said this before…
As a shoebox style organizer, and a self-proclaimed searching fanatic, I
love Spotlight.
I can now find anything on all my drives (both mounted and stored away) plus
all my removable media and backups covering almost 30 years, in less than
10 seconds. (Well over 2 TB), and Spotlight searches can include finding
content inside files, not just the title and metadata.
A friend with a $20,000 IBM SAN at work recently complained to me that searches
across his 2TB SAN can take 15 minutes. (And he could never search for a
word in a PDF, or a number in an Excel file, or across unmounted storage.)
Naturally, Microsoft will be coming out with a Spotlight-like system in a
future OS.Now that I gotta see!
Cheers,

I just thought I'd share a small epiphony I had late last night when I couldn't
sleep. You've probably all had it already, but I thought I'd share just in
case.
I've been working on a mix, and I was lamenting the fact that in order to
pan my reverb returns in to 10 and 2, I have to use live mix mode and rout
the returns to ajacent chanels. This sucks because you can't record new
tracks without killing the reverb, etc, etc.
So, it dawned on me: why not use the patch bay to route the left reverb return
to both the right and left inputs of aux 1 and the right reverb return to
both the left and right inputs of aux 2 and then use the pan control to pan
them in.
Of course, it works!
PARIS rulez.
MikeAll i get is a blank screen in Win98 even with Chainer. Also in Wavelab
it doesn't show up either. crap crap crap Such a nice plug in and it
won't do 98 from according to their sys reqmnts.

Those dirty copycats! LOL; )Do you have the fxpansion DX Wrapper ver. 3.3? If so, try it to only find
Chainer and not the Steinberg\vstplugins map at all( Chainer must find all
the VST plugins in Steinberg\vstplugins map). I have only tested with WinXP
and Paris and it's working perfect there for me. I shall try a test later on
with WinME too, when I have time enough.

All devices and drivers are installed. I've still got to do a little
tweaking with the Steiny Houston controller. It's not talking to Cubase
properly yet, but all RME cards, UAD-1 cards and the Matrox cards are
working properly. The RME cards and ll of the UAD cards are in the Magma.
Matrox video cards are on IRQ 16, RME Cards are on IRQ 19, one of the UAD
1's in on IRQ 18 (not shared) and 3 x of the UAD-1 cards are on IRQ 17
sharing with the Marvell LAN controller. Hope this doesn't bite me, but I
can always disable it when using Cubase I guess. I only use LAN to transfer
files between computers prior to mixing anyway.
The Magma seems much friendlier working under ACPI than my old SBS
chassis..........guess that's why they're recommended.......eh? ;o)
System is running fast and smooth, UAD-1 plugs are authorized and working
and I haven't even gotten into the *in depth* tweaks yet where all
non-essential background services are turned off .
I just opened a 48 track Cubase project with 40 tracks of audio loaded.
Playing this back on my old AMD XP 3000 system on the ASUS A7V8X mobo
(333MHz bus speed) used to use up between 40 to 50% of my CPU cycles with
512k buffer settings and wouldn't even play back at 64k buffer settings. On
this new system, it hums along steadily at 12% at 512k buffers and plays
back at 64k buffer settings with between 30 and 35% CPU usage. That's
*significant* and is what I was looking for when I decided to build this
machine.
Once I get my Steiny controller working, I'm Ghosting this one.
So far so good.
;o)

rage competition. Or at least give it lip service.
Steve Jobs cannot obsolete my PowerMac tomorrow. It will continue to do
what it does now even if he stopped development for it entirely. Which
Apple has already stated they will not do even after the transition to
Intel processors.
Apple transitioned out of OS9 and previous with a long program of
emulation so that old, non-hardware dependent programs can still run.
OS9 is something I didn't buy into anyway since it was never above my
threshold of OS goodness but it's interesting that Apple went to
considerable effort to bring the customer base along. Apple has been
sticking with OSX for quite a while now with no immediate plans to
abandon it.
Microsoft also drops support for older OS versions after a time. And
they periodically churn their market with new versions. When choosing
Microsoft you are not escaping obsolescence or attempts at locking you in.
The next round of Microsoft market churning is coming soon. So you'll be
able to enjoy the new stuff they've copied from OSX, and maybe some
other improvements and proprietary lock-in attempts. :^)
Bottom line, we have limited choices now. But we still have a few.
Choose what works for you but don't fool yourself. Meanwhile, no matter
what tools we choose to deal with, and how much time we want to devote
to fanboy posts about them, the end results are what matter.
Make great music.
Cheers,
-Jamie

Thanks
Here's the trick I do with SPDIF:
SPDIF Rendering
--------------------------
Patchbay workaround for bouncing tracks and rendering plugins
Tired of zeroing/clearing a mix to bounce a track or tracks to a new
file? Or wish you could render native plugins while listening and
adjusting in context. No problem.
Open the Patch Bay. Clear all your SPDIF I/O connections. Physically (as
in, on the back of your Paris 442 or MEC) loop your Paris SPDIF in to
your Paris SPDIF out with a short cable. Go back to the Patch Bay.
In the Patch Bay, connect the "Mixer Insert" SEND of the source channel
for the bounce to the left SPDIF output (dL) on your 442 or MEC. Connect
the SPDIF left input (dL) back to the same channel's "Mixer Insert"
Return to complete the loop. Now connect the same left SPDIF output to
the "Submixer Input" of the Destination channel you want to
bounce/record to. Select "External" on the EDS insert on the source channel.
Enable Record on the Destination channel. That's it. Record away. You
can use your mixer normally while you bounce with no ill effect. And in
a case of good fortune, since the EDS inserts are after the native
inserts, any active plugins will be printed while bouncing. Great for
rendering AutoTune or various other plugin settings for different song
sections. For the price of time and disk space, you have unlimited plugins.
Example. You have a track on track 10 and you want to render this to
track 11. In the Patchbay:
Mixer-A channel 11 connects to MEC-Master-A Digital In Left
MEC-Master-A Digital In Left connects to Mixer-A-Insert Return10
MEC-Master-A Digital Out Left connects to Mixer-A-Insert Send10
Select "External" on the EDS insert on the source channel.

OR
There is an easier way. Use the Paris VST plugin on a native insert. They
did a fantastic job of emulating the EQ on the port.

This is because the Power Computing and UMax models had higher bus speeds
and consistently kicked Appal'e ass in benchmark tests. They were better
computers, hands down. Mac was going to be my platform of choice until Jobs
pulled this stunt.

a third HD to the system, I crashed. I received a bluescreen message I had
not seen prior to this crash or any other crash for that matter. Upon re-boot,
all of my HD's had been removed and I was not able to recover. I did a full
re-install only to encounter the same problem, at the same point.
In the end, I found that it was actually cable related. I saw earlier that
someone mentioned checking the cables, I would look at this rather closely
as some older cables work fine with devices of that era, but are not compatible
with newer devices. Sorry for the lack of spec detail, but I’m on the go.
Hope this helps!
Tyrone............so you need two mics of the same kind????.........hell man, just
stick the TLM on one side and the CAD on the other and be done with it.
(heheheheh.......I actually did this with a U87 and a Studio Projects C1
once upon a time. Worked fairly OK, sorta', kinda'........maybe ;o)

Kenny Chesney ain't gonna' pick it up unless we figure out a way to get a
steel guitar in there somewhere. Maybe this should just be a barebones
vocal/guitar demo?

I've had to completely re-identify Card A, B etc under WinXP, and then
rewire the inside sync and serial data cables accordingly (because sync and
serial need to flow from the master card, which gets reassigned).

Yeah..........but it still pissed me off because I wanted choices. Having
Apple as the sole source of Mac was no choice at all and just seemed to me
like a Microsoft tactic and very hypocritical considering the crap that was
being spewed about Microsoft at the time.

Which in no way excuses Microsoft, their crap was criminal behavior
which crushed innovation.
Apple's crap was stupid behavior which alienated potential customers
like you and me while apparently trying, from their point of view, to
survive Microsoft's crap. Which they did.
But between Microsoft's crap and Apple's mistakes, Apple lost a lot of
market share and only recently has begun to earn some of it back. Would
Apple now be gone had they not gone all control freak? Dunno.
They've had to work pretty hard to make their strategy work, including
creating much better hardware and software and branching out into
content distribution and the hardware to do it. In short, they've had to
innovate and become competitive. It hasn't all been pretty. But at this
point they have an impressive product and a clear growth path.
Whether Apple has earned another chance from you is up to you. Whether
Microsoft deserves your support is also up to you.
Linux is a much better choice if you don't like supporting a
control-freak, market protecting, obsolescence churning strategies.
Especially if you are of a mind to contribute development time yourself;
perhaps the closest to freedom from "crap" currently available.
Cheers,

>Ok, so for Christmas I ordered a new Western Digital SATA 250Gig hard drive
for my son's PC (that I, the Mac guy, actually help him build last summer!).
Anyway, I thought what the heck, as long as I'm getting him one, I might as
well get myself one for my new Mac G5 for a second internal drive. So the
drives arrive from NewEgg and I install one in my new Mac (which, by the
way, is the easiest hard drive install scheme I've ever seen). I turn the
Mac on, but no new hard drive to be found. I restart and still no drive. I
shut down, double check all my connections, and try again. This time I get a
dialog box saying the hard drive needs to be formatted. Ok, now we're in
business. I run Mac Disk Tools to format the drive and it freezes about half
way through. I exit Disk Tools and look for the drive to try again. I can
see the drive, but Disc Tools now tells me that S.M.A.R.T. is not supported
for that drive (which I know is not true) and that the total capacity is
0kb. I can't repair, format, partition, anything. So now I think, this hard
drive is screwy. I take the other one I was going to give to my son and
install it. Nothing but a nice loud rhythmic knocking noise issues fourth
from this drive. TWO DOA HARD DRIVES! This can't be true. Something must be
wrong with my new Mac? Say it isn't so! Now I'm on a mission. I have my son
take his Western Digital SATA from his PC so I can see if my G5 recognizes
it. Install his drive and boom, it pops right up on the Mac desktop and I
can see all his files and folders, etc. So now I've got two DOA WD hard
drives to return to NewEgg. BUMMER! The reason I bought Western Digital is
because I've had such great luck with them in the past. Now I'm totally
spooked. These are going back for a refund and I'm ordering two Seagate's
instead.
Sorry for the long post. I just need to rant a bit.
TonyIt's really a trick, just patching to bounce autotune in manual mode..
If your track to be tuned is on track 1, put autotune on an insert. Select
"external" on the eds insert. Assuming your using mec A spdif, in the Paris
batchbay, patch the "Mixer A insert" output of track 1 (green arrows Bottom
row) to Mec Master digital out L or R. Then Patch the Mec Master Digital
In L or R (use same as before)to the insert "in" (brown, top)of mixer A insert.
ALSO patch the Mec Master digital in (brown, same as above)
to track 2 of Mixer A.
Mute track 1. record inable track 2. You might want to also change the input
monitor to "Always monitor input' in the Project window, but you don't have
to. you just won't hear anything unless your recording.
NEXT STEP VERY IMPORTANT:
you MUST make a physical connection (with a real spdif cable) from the spdif
out to the spdif in on the Mec. Now you can autotune away and bounce your
newly tuned track to track 2.
You can use the adat connections the same way as the spdif. Just make sure
to loop the lightpipe cable from the in to the out on the back of the adat
card.
