Anyone else share my difficulty with the help/pdf documents for SX3? I'm trying to find my way round it after switching from VST. Many things are clearly better but when you want to address a "how to" question the help systems just don't deliver. I'm trying to set up to record vocals on one track whilst playing back audio backing tracks. I'm using a Presonus 1394 two channel audio interface - I know it's basic- but then I need only one audio channel in. The rest is done using midi input from a Roland keyboard.
I'm sure the answer to this one is pretty basic but I can't find anyhting in the manual to help me. Anyone out there know the answer?

You should be able to add an "Audio" track, make sure you have your input set to the interface L or R or 1/2 input, arm the track for recording, hit record, you should hear your playback and a monitor of your live vocal track...so...before you do a take, set it up, make sure you can hear your vocal, get a good level so you can hear yourself and the playback tracks, and BOOM !! it's Rock and Roll time...as always check your drivers if you can't hear anything coming back at you...good luck...

Which model of Mac G4? I just upgraded everything on my PowerMac G4 w/ AGP graphics. Mine has 4 RAM slots and in OS X, it recognizes all of the 2 GB (4 @ 512MB) I've installed.
I highly recommend the Sonnet CPU upgrades. I did get 2 quirkey 1.8 GHz models before the 3rd one worked, but Sonnet support is great and this last CPU has worked without a glitch for 4 months now. It's very stable and amazingly fast. Check out xlr8yourmac web site to see all of the reports from users on their CPU upgrades. Try maximizing your RAM first though before the expense of a new CPU? Be sure to buy good quality and check the code numbers on the RAM boards for the highest speeds. I posted some questions on CPU upgrades a few months ago and got a great response back. Try searching this Forum for it because it had good information in it and helped me decide which CPU upgrade to go for. Good luck! -------------------- dB= deciBell.
