Also got my shipping notice. very much looking forward to it, especially if ultrabeat is in fact easier to work with. As an aside, anyone have any suggestions...
Does anyone know if Logic 6 (Gold) will run on OS X 10.4? I'm running Logic 7 on a newer PowerBook but my old desktop won't run it very efficiently. Thanks, ...
Hi everyone, Just out of curiosity, is there such a thing as a system-wide audio plugin manager for Mac OS X? Something along the lines of FontBook for audio...
... That's hard to compare. Win311and earlier were really DOS-programs, not operating systems. Win95/98 were developed onwards from DOS-code. WinNT and the...
... Maurits: Just a small correction. Unix was Developed by Bell Labs, a division of AT&T at the time. Digital (DEC) was a a major promoter of Unix in the...
... Please stickle.. wrong information should be corrected :o) And for the (ex)-Atari users here, we should of course not forget MiNT, also based on BSD, which...
... I've always worked in a Windows environment and have had the luxury of a nice stable environment since I use outboard recording and mixing but my reason...
... Actually, I suspect it is because Tiger is only 64 bit in a small way. It is not a true 64 bit OS. The GUI is still 32 bit. What Apple has done is to give...
... I think I've answered my own question. It appears the answer is yes, Logic can access more memory if it can separate out certain tasks that don't require a...
... Being used to Windows for so long you'll have some adjusting to do, but not too much. ... Well indeed there is a different base; all MacOS versions up to...
... I imagine that there are various system calls that can be made, and some are 64b and some 32b. For graphics, the mac used to have a "toolbox" of system ...
... The idea is that there would be two separate processes that communicate with each other, a 32-bit GUI and a 64-bit engine. It would require some clever...
... Yes! Video is where I think 64 bit memory access has the potential to be extremely useful. I'm not really convinced that it will be very helpful to DAWs...
... It is actually (up to now it was 32-bit float, ie 8 bits mantissa and 24 bits precision). If the G5's coprocessor is capable of making 64 bit calculations ...
... Video and audio have a lot in common - large file sizes, real time need for speed, real time operations. I think 64 bit is faster in the sense that twice...
... GAmoore! I am glad I am not as negative as you appear to be about Apple products ;-) Widgets are great - I am tracking in real time my UPS shipment which...
... Yes, but video is *much* larger than audio. You can fit an awful lot of 24 bit audio into 2 Gigs. ... I agree. It will be more accurate, but I'm not sure...
... The OS drives it though. ... Not only that, but MIDI is also 8 bit. :o) But really anything that has to do with data transfer can be done twice as fast as...
... Macs have supported 64-bit floats for years. Floating point does not have the same hard limitations that integer math does in this regard. 10.4 adds native...
Sorry I have to correct my own nonsense here..;) ... The precision is in the mantissa and it's not divided like this - so ignore my gibberish.. it's 32 bit...
I am copying over this comment, about 64 bit programming from an expert on a ... 64-bit memory space isn't going to speed things up; in fact, I'd imagine that...
... 64 bit space can indeed slow things down when you don't need it and badly implement it (and drag along 3 bytes when you only need the fourth). Could be ...
... There are some shareware and terminal commands which show the processes running and how much CPU they are taking. I was shocked to find 40 things running ...
... Yes, actually this is quite normal in any modern system. (It even was in Window 95 but there this was well hidden). But if you look closer you'll see that...
