Hi all...new to the forum & I'm kind of new to the whole world of computer recording too, coming from more of a tape & then digital 16 track DAW background...but pretty soon I'm going to have a s/h g4 Powermac ( 450 cpu, 512 ram) to play with.
I'm going to run ProTools Free on it ( can't afford full blown PT just yet) & I have a little audioBuddy pre. I'm also thinking about getting a better soundcard - something like the Audiophile 2496. So...will this card be compatible with my set-up? Oh...and my Mac has OS X & Panther installed, but ProTools Free only works on OS9 so I'm pretty sure I'll have to install that & remove OSX...unless it'll run in Classic mode. Any tips, advice, etc will be gratefully received!! Thanks.. |

Hey, thanks for the informative & intelligent reply.
I agree with much of what you say, but the simple fact is that I have a job at the moment doing sound editing that requires me to get up to speed on PT. Not because it's the best prog out there...just because it's what the studio I'm working at uses. And I'd say a good 90% of studios in my area also use it too. And FWIW...from the work I've done with it lately, I'd have to say that I like it very much too...seems very intuitive & well designed. Cheers for the heads up though.
