sorry about that. But kudos to them for making it available to anyone to whom it might be useful after its commercial worth is largely gone.

Unfortunately playback of audio stutters really badly in Classic for me. Does it work in classic emulation for anyone else?

This would be great for anyone still using 9.

There is nothing like reverb removal.

Make sure you download the OS X ASIO driver from http://www.prosoniq.com/html/drivers.html as described in the Prosoniq FAQ at http://products.prosoniq.com/cgi-bin/regis...howfaq&refno=11 for the playback to work more smoothly in OS X!

Don't get me wrong....I also think that it's great that ProSoniq has taken a truly progressive step! I wish others that have abandoned progs like SonicWorx would follow...A full version of OS 9 Spark XL would be nice... rolleyes.gif

thanks for the tip-off - though they refer you to a screenshot for the setup in audio prefs that i cannot find. Oh well - I'll figure it out. I think you need to turn buffering off or else it starts skipping, or looping actually in big chunks after about 1 min of playback. Cool!

There's a new audio driver for OS X Classic available as of today, see http://news.prosoniq.com . The screenshot in the Readme isn't visible in TextEdit (because it doesn't interpret the old SimpleText format right) but it should be visible in WorldText.

Basically it says you should set the options to Sample Rate=44100, Disk Block Size = 32k, Read-Ahead Time=1s, Processing=50% buffered. Works fine for me (OS 10.3.9), at least with the new 0.9 driver from the Prosoniq site.

I've downloaded the new driver and found that it works fine, so long as you don't use any realtime plugs - the compressor seems to be on by default, so turn it off and it plays back smoothly.
More worryingly for me, it crashes as soon as i hit the 'Open' file command, so i can only get it to run if i boot it by drag n' drop.
It's still a great piece of software though - I'd even boot into OS 9 for it, if I had to ;-)
Top marks to Prosoniq for distributing it free AND for taking the trouble to create a driver for Classic. Let's hope more software vendors follow their example.

What Mac are you on and how much RAM do you have? The trouble with Classic is that VM is always on so you get a huge performance hit if you don't have enough RAM installed (< 1GB) and/or are running on a G4 based system... :-(

I wish there was a way to disable VM in Classic because it causes all kinds of trouble with sound playback (not only in sonicWORX but in other apps like old OS 9 games etc. as well).

- it might also be a good idea to check that your ASIO settings are correct. They should be like

Sample Rate=44100
Disk Block Size = 32k
Read-Ahead Time=1s
Processing=50% buffered

HTH,
