Actually I must admit I have become Macified again.
Years ago I used Apple computers starting on an Apple II, then Mac SE but sort of finished with a Mac IIfx which was a cracking machine that I worked on for a while with Lightspeed C. I remember it was lightning fast.
But then the pull of Windows and Unix work opportunities dragged me away.
Now I use VMWare fusion for running a variety of other operating systems and have been back on Apple machines for nearly three years and I must admit I prefer OS X to windows now, especially for audio stuff it just seems more stable to me even though cpu usage seems higher under OS X than XP.
Not that all is good though, Finder pisses me off and I still find myself thinking "how can I do this in Finder?" after three bloody years.
After a couple of years you get used to having only one main menu which is an absolute pain in multi monitor setups, I wish Apple would change this.
Good luck with your new Mac

Great! Will get a Paca then and see how long it takes me to max it out, probably not very long..
Well I just got to the part in the Manual/Tutorial where it says "At this point you will probably run out of DSP Power", when I looked at the DSP percentages the Pacarana was using 5% of total, so the paca would be at 10%.

Concerning DSP power this MP3 which is made up of 6 different complex Kyma sounds uses about 40% of a Pacarana so it would run fine on a paca.
There is quite a lot going on. All of the sounds are from the Kyma library, I have just mucked about with them a bit, put them on the timeline and done some automation.

It is all very heavily processed, I went for heavy cpu intensive sounds to see what the DSP load was.
I have just cached the sounds (basically pre render to disk, like a freeze, so basically sample play from disk) and played the timeline which now shows around 1% which is what it shows at idle.
Just playing samples looks like it is free really.
What I'd love to know is what the import duties came to! I have tried to work out how much it will cost to import a Paca into the UK, but no luck yet. The UK customs site is a maze! The extra duties seem quite arbitrary from what I read on other forums.
Also, I swear I read somewhere that the Paca/rana can be used in standalone mode, without a computer, but I might have dreamt it... If so how would this work? _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum Bandcamp

I think this thread is misnamed. it should be split somewhere and given a more appropriate name. Would you do it? _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube
