hello, thanks for checking my message.
i will be getting my new powerbook next week and am not sure whether to run osX or os9 as i don't know if there are sufficient programs, virtual instruments and plugins available yet on the osX platform. i currently run cubase 5 but plan to change to logic eventually though i will initially be using both on the mac until i complete the tracks half done in cubase! If anyone could advise me whether its worth running osX now that would be great as it would save me a lot of trouble of buying and installing loads of programs (if they exist!) and finding that there are essential things i cannot use. i plan to use the two sequencers mentioned as well as lots of softsynths and effects. any help is much appreciated. thanks in advance, r0cker |

You can (with subtleties) use both but :
- at this time only Logic, reason, Live are X released (correct me if I'm wrong) the current state can be followed in the X forum and in the news - your interfaces may not have a full working driver, if one at all, either midi or audio - everything runs ok under 9  I don't say you can't use X, but you'll be reduced to logic at the moment. It'll change soon, but when… Anyway, install both, have a OS9 separated from the Classic used for X that you can use for music, so that you have a clean environement in 9, and you can begin to learn X. The best would be to begin directly in X so that you don't have to burden yourself learning 2 OSs but I don't know if your interfaces will permit it. Read extensively the OSX forum, check the hardware you have in mind, the homework will give you the complete answer -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
