Sounds like he was ready to go in the end, which is nice, though sad. At
least he left on the right foot.

>Sorry to hear that. I hung out with him and Jeff Baxter at the last Paris
NAMM show. Stephen was showing Jeff and I his scars from his motor cycle
accident and when he was shot up while working with the FBI. He said, that
was what delayed him from writing the Paris GUI on time for Paris 3.0. Jeff
showed me his Orange County Sheriffs badge. It was interesting hearing about
their law enforcement adventures. Stephen and I talked about aviation, He
was a pilot in the Swedish military and flew the SAAB fighter, and he said
he checked out on the F 16. I was telling him that my guitar player from
high school was an F-16 jock at Selfridge Air base. He's the the guy that
hires pilots over there.
Stephen was an interesting guy, we always hit it off well. Hope this is
some how misinformation, but if it's not, fair well and RIP SSC.

Re: Cubase not initializing properly...
Pull the PCI card for the Multiface & check to see what version
it is... it's printed in the upper right-hand portion of the
circuit board (as you're holding the components facing you, with
the port on the left-hand side); if it's anything lower than
v1.7, that might be your problem. If it is, lower than 1.7, you
can get a factory refurb, tested & ready to rock, for $40 from
Synthax.
I was running a version 1.4 card forever without any problems,
and then with my new mobo & WinXP SP2 it didn't want to play
nice anymore... a version 1.7 card took care of it.
Let me know if that's the case, and I can hook you up with the
right people at Synthax to get yours swapped ut.

Check out the free system scanner at www.bitdefender.com.
It's probably one of the best out there.
Good luck.

>Hey Tyrone,
I don't have an Intel Mac yet. All I can report is that the Apple demo
guy compared his to a dual 2GHZ G5, which is a fast box, much faster
than my G4 laptop.
I can also tell you that Logic runs fine on my G4 laptop, and Logic's
freeze feature lets me make the most of its speed limitations by
converting tracks to audio tracks and freeing the CPU for more plugins.
On my 2.5GHZ G5 I only use freeze to get around the famous bug where
Logic randomly forgets to play a plugin instrument. Other than that,
(which is reportedly finally fixed in the new 7.2.1 update), I haven't
needed to use freeze on my G5 due to its amazing speed.
So I would think the current Intel laptops would indeed be decent
systems for Logic. The combination should pack a lot of studio
production power into a very small, portable package.
I will be recommending Logic IF the plugin bug is truly fixed. The
update should arrive here as early as tomorrow or as late as next week
sometime. I'll post my experience with the update.
BTW, if you've never used Logic before, allow yourself some learning
time. It has a learning curve due to the very large feature set and some
of the design decisions. Give yourself a week or two to get comfortable
with it before you involve any clients.

I'd max it out if I were you. Also, you might want to also consider
MOTU's Digital Performer. It has a few more features for writing music
for picture although Logic will also work.
