Hi, I'm a new Mac convert, totally sold on the Aqua interface etc., my question is, I've now found that ProTools isn't coming out with Os X support for a spell, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!!!!!
 I've got a recording gig in the next two weeks and was hoping to use my gorgeous PowerBook, to no avail. So I'm placing myself on the altar of the Mac music community--what do you guys recommend me do, in terms of a laptop recording solution, in the nick of time? Danke!

Which model powerbook do you have? The new 12 inch and 17 inch models only boot in OS X.
Have a look in your system preferences at "Startup Disk" and see if OS 9.2.2 is installed. The "weird OS 9" window you are referring to is classic mode. OS 9 Music applications don't run in classic mode you will have to boot up in OS 9 to run them. Logic 6 looks great and should be out this month. Logic 5.5 already works on OS X. I've used Performer and Logic and much prefer Logic. Performer is not out for OS X yet. Your choice of interface depends on your budget. I use RME gear which have good OS X drivers now (I am on a desktop machine though they should work on a powerbook). They make the Multiface and Cardbus which will work on a powerbook with PCMCIA slot. http://www.rme-audio.com/english/hdsp/multifa.htm Cheaper interfaces are available from comapanies like Edirol such as the UA-5 (a USB interface) http://www.edirol.com/ You could also look at the MOTU 828 or 896 (firewire interfaces) |
