I don't know Jam. Are you talking about mastering as in finalizing a track
with EQ and compression, or are you asking about arranging tracks, setting
overall levels and burning a cd? (I use Paris directly into an HHB for most
of my stuff since it's long form ambient. If I need to manipulate shorter
tracks, I use CD Architect.)

Older TC Spark / XL works well for me, runs XLNT under OS9.1 and 9.2. Spark
v2.5 is the last version that will run on 9.2.
I also have Bias Peak 3, which I like a lot, but I have to run it on a different
Mac running OSX.
If you search eBay for a while for TC Spark 2.5, 2.2 or 2.0, you
might be able to get a good deal.

g resentment of anything from
Apple even to this day.
In the meantime you've changed your brand of koolaid. Your next epiphany
of resentment will be for Microsoft, probably, when Vista ships. ;^)
BTW, some of your Apple grudges are from times when Jobs was not at
Apple. He was at NeXT. Building, as it turned out, the groundwork for
OSX. But if you want to keep your grudge going, I understand.
Keep in mind that this industry is a moving target. You can't pick any
horse and expect it to be in the lead all the time. No matter what their
marketing people say. And I don't know a marketing department that
doesn't produce spin for their products, so take it all with a big grain
of salt.
Despite the spin, at different points in time you could accuse ANY OS or
hardware vendor of being behind the curve.
What matters is NOT who has this week's bragging rights. Because that
can and will change as the next big thing comes out. What matters is if
the gear you buy can actually do the job you bought it for.
The responsibility for that is with both the seller AND especially the
buyer. IOW, if you set your performance thresholds realistically and
only buy what exceeds them, then you can beat obsolescence from any
supplier. At least until your thresholds change. And if your research is

rate, you can neutralize the hype that you'll get in the marketplace
from pretty much all directions.
I think if you were to take a fresh look at what's happening in the
market today, you'd probably see that Apple is making a contribution
that is helping overall market choice, in a market where choice has been
choked to a bare minimum.
While I don't agree with every Apple decision, the more choice the
better. Choose what you like based on your experience, research and
performance threshold. But don't be surprised if someone else chooses
something different based on their needs and evaluation of the
marketplace. And don't be surprised that, if you express your own
grudges from previous product lines, others may not use your information
to change what they would choose to meet their needs.
Cheers,

have been noticing that you guys DO help eachother and alot.. in the very
few times I asked for some help ... I either have gotten rather nothing
or someone taking the piss .. rarely have been helped .. although you guys
talk , exchange ideas even about subejcts that are not related to Paris...
jokes even... so is it my name? which says what background I come from
? that is stopping me from getting help from the ONLY LEFT PLACE FOR HELP
? Please if so and it's my name tell me please guys so I woun't bother
anymore !!!! ( check my last post .. # 188838 )
Thanks alotJust Stop!!! That school IT head needs to be fired!! As with most academic
institutions IT personal.
This PHD obviously nuts. Just 2 weeks after that implementation(In Pure Apple

>If you are using 4 eds cards and 1 mec and 1 c-16...I would try swapping two
of the EDS cards.
The main one with another one and see if the C-16 works in that one.
If not I would think the C-16 is shorted.
I have never taken one apart, but I would take it apart and look for shorts
AFTER I checked the plug connections.

es first customer to receive
the G5s. The Xserve G5 wasn't available until the following year. Plus,
if they ever wanted to dismantle it to upgrade the systems, the Towers would
have faster and better resale value. They just weren't available at the
time of purchase.
I saw a G5 demo here in town, where they were showing what the G5 could do,
to a group of Professional video editors. The demonstrator open 30 different
Video windows and started playing all the videos, and asked the PC guys if
there systems could do that, they all shook their heads no. Then he started
rendering all the video at the same time, he again asked them if their PC
could do that, the all gave a resounding no! He continued doing multiple
real time renders and showed many other things to show the G5s power. No
body left without being vary impressed with it's power and capabilities.
Our experiences are quite a bit different. Again, Apple couldn't have made
the claims at the time if it wasn't true.
