ProControl and G5 question

>so far the only thing it sees on stereo tracks, is the left pan<

You can switch between the left and right panners by pushing the "Pan" button to the left of the panners, above the "Input" button.

I got this communicationloss too eversince i switched to a G5.Before i worked on G4 with HD3 system also 3 faderpacks mainunit plus editpack
Hmmmm....Interesting. Propably this loss of communication is a G5 issue.
Maybe there's a clue in getting hints from digidesign how to configure network settings?

Just an update-

I have been running the G5 for the last 3 days and all I can say is WOW-

I mean really WOW-

As a torture test, I ran the following session- Now let me say up front, this session did not have any automation (since it was all stems).

OK, I ran 40 tracks of 48k/24bit audio with a Quicktime movie from the same Firewire 400 drive-

just to be greedy, I turned playhead scrolling on.

Well- It all played. And the counters and meters behaved like a 1 track session on my G4 933 (single).

Just for giggles- I turned on the Picon track (set to frames as opposed to blocks) this did cause some periodic lurching- however I think it was more to the drive being able to keep up- it was running with nearly no available seek time with this option running.

my conclusion is that I should have went this way months ago-
I bought a refurb dual 2.0 (wPCI-X) form Apple for 2099.00, I then put a 250 gig second drive in and another gig of ram- total cost for everything including monitor adaptors was under 2500.00

If you are on the fence, I would really recommend it- The responsiveness of the interface is an order of magnitude better compared to the G4 (even the dual 1.25's)


Oh yes- It is the quietest mac I have ever owned- I actually am getting bothered by the noise my powerbook makes now... (except when using the DVD drive- that is still noisy)

One downside- the thing requires a lot of AC power.


thats it for today-

Thanks all for your comments-

I bit the bullet and ordered a dual 2ghz machine- I hope it is as wonderful as everyone is saying-


And Marti- I will call you soon!
