There's a remix of one of our tracks on our Myspace that was done entirely on the Pro one except for the drums.

It's the D.Block remix of The Highway.

Yeah get Live, it's fantastic.

Anyway, I was just trying to present the facts in a clear, unbiased way but you had to turn this into a mac v pc thing, congratulations. I suppose my view may be biased, but so is yours. You feel more comfortable using a Mac because you are used to it and I'm more at home with a PC - considering th...

Bogus. Good luck sorting the problem out anyway!

Thanks for the replies, I'll let you know what I find out.

Make sure you use one the same as the original, most Alesis stuff I've used have 9VAC power supplies.

I always thought macs were pretty neat for having the core stuff, did windows add something like that for vista (it was mentioned in a report windows released one time) or did it never make it in? Don't know actually, we're not even thinking about looking at looking at Vista for our windows machine...

There's nothing to support Mac > PC when it comes to audio and MIDI - that's all to do with the software you use or the sound card/audio interface you have. Actually there is something, it's called core audio and core midi. Audio and midi functions are built right into OSX so applications can acces...

If you don't care about polyphony I would suggest a DSI Evolver, it gives you quite a a palette to work with, 2 x DCOs 2x wave tables Oscs, analog filter, digital filter and a ton of neat features at under 500 dollars. Decent Midi spec too. -d Totally! From the orginal description an evolver would ...

Does the Quadrasynth use a wall-wart power supply? A lot of the Alesis stuff uses AC supplies and if you give it DC you get the symptoms you've described. I'd check that first, if it does use an external supply...

thanks for the link stephen.... i really think im getting a mac now. run windows... and get my stuff setup.. do you guys think that running all the arturia softsynths as well as reason... abelton live.. and native instruments on a WINDOWED mac would be a good idea? haha its just sucha crazy concept...

About the misconfig: In ableton, there should settings somewhere that it tells ableton what sound card driver to use. always use M-audio ASIO or wherever the ASIO word appears. Sometimes, it uses the default Direct Sound driver, which may or may not be the ASIO one, so to make sure, just "force" ab...

Half normalled only breaks the original connection when you put a jack into the input (bottom row). As far as I know there are no advantages to having a fully normalled patchbay, it's just a historical leftover. Half-normalled means if you put a jack into the output the signal splits, so it's still ...

I think that's cause the vast majority of users would only ever need one or two midi outs at a time, so the manufacturers only put that many in to keep costs down.

See if you can find a usb Motu MTP/AV, that should sort you out for a while. I've seen them go pretty cheap on euro ebay.

I have really low latency with my Macbook and a Motu 828mkII, but most people who own PCs don't want to hear about Macs. To give you an idea of how low the latency is, we run vocals through effects in Live when we play gigs and you can't notice any delay, although there is one, it's just really short.

If you're trying to get a good, melodic vocal sound, then you need to update your gear. If you're trying to get a New Order-esque "talk vocal" then you should be ok. Putting any signal through a mediocre quality mixer will make it sound like s**t...especially from a mediocre quality mic. I'll grant...
