i use ableton live 4.1 with my g4 laptop/mbox combo. with the digi core audio driver (in os x) you can utilize the mbox ins and outs with any audio software. using pro tools draws too much cpu (for my stuff anyway) and live is friendlier in that regard. the nice thing about using pro tools is its more flexible routing possibilities using aux channels. live's send/receive architecture works fine for my purposes, i just like the pro tools structure better. the way you assign midi/keystroke controls in live is also a heck of a lot easier than with pro tools. i use a tascam us428 and a niche faderbox for midi control, though almost anything that sends midi cc messages will work just fine with live. cheers bruce On Mar 7, 2005, at 2:08 PM, Kris Hartung wrote: > What software are you running to host your effect plugins?
