Re: Macbook / Macbook Pro SUCCESS stories
I use Mac OS X, Macbook Pro. I Recorded 16 channels of audio at the same time with buffer set to 64.
EQ, Compr and DVERB on all channels(for the test...). No click or pops. Works fine. The Macbook Pro is a killer machine! //Marcus |

Thanks for your reply, are you using the standard configuration of your macbook pro? have you applied any tweaks to your system?

Thanks for your replies! Nice setup! ....do you use virtual instruments like Reason or Xpand? if you use them, how are they performing? thanks!

Re: Macbook / Macbook Pro SUCCESS stories
Hey sorry I've been so slow in getting back to you, but heres what i've got so far:
It's amazing. The computer is much more responsive than my old on, a PowerMac G4 dual, the FW800 model. It's quieter (duh) and just more responsive. I opened a few larger sessions and it played them back without a hickup, even under battery power. Once i got the upgrades for Intel versions of Smack! and Synchronic, they run great with it as well. No word on ReWire yet, as my Reason 3.0 installation can't complete because my computer refuses to read the Orkester and Factory libraries. It's the only problem i've hit so far, but i don't think the Mac is completely to blame: EVERYTHING else works in the SuperDrive except the Reason CDs. Oh, and here's the system: MacBook Pro 15" Intel Core Duo 2.0 ghz 1 GB RAM 100 GB internal HD 300 GB Maxtor One Touch Ultra II FireWire drive Digi002 console with ProTools LE 7.1.1cs1 Rock solid! |

Re: Macbook / Macbook Pro SUCCESS stories
Using a dual 2.0 MacBook with 1GB RAM.
Digi002R with PT LE 7.1.1 Reason 3.0.5 Ableton Live 5.2.1 All is dandy in PT world. This machine kicks my previous Powerbook G4's ass. The other night I had finished tracking and forgot to up my buffer size to 1024 from 256, yet I had 2 reverbs, 4-band EQ3 on a dozen tracks, a bunch of compressors, etc, and not a hiccup. Bear in mind I am only using stock Digi plugs as there isn't much yet in the way of Intel-ready processing (waiting for PSP and I'm diving in, and even a few URS when a little money comes in). So in regards to ProTools, Reason and Live, my llittle white MacBook is one sick machine, I'm glad I didn't spend the near $3K again for the 'Pro' as I did last time. Oh, and the glossy screen is killer, I love it. All that said, there is a very annoying issue when trying to record audio into Ableton Live (5.2.1) using the 002R as an interface. Arm recording a track creates a loud burst of white noise. I emailed Ableton and they are aware of the problem, told me it's a Core Audio issue (imagine that) and to contact Digidesign. I emailed Digidesign about 3 weeks ago and still no response (imagine that). So far I cannot record any external audio into Live using my DIgi002R, I'm not too happy about that.

Re: Macbook / Macbook Pro SUCCESS stories
Pk hat, Thanks for your response!!
great info in your post!... so, do you think that 2Gb ram is needed to run virtual instruments on the macbook? have you applied any tweaks to your system?

Re: Macbook / Macbook Pro SUCCESS stories
I think I will eventually bump it up to 2GB on the RAM, but so far what I have seems to suffice. This machine is so snappy it makes my head spin (instead of a beachball on the screen). I haven't done any tweaks to it, other than the usual no screen-saver, no internal sounds, highest cpu performance setting, etc...
Digi, if you read this, can you shed some light on CoreAudio and recording in Ableton Live 5.2.1 please? Thanks!
