hi,
i would like to ask you a protools related question.
i would like to buy a macbookpro and install both macosx and windows xp.
would like to install protools and other sound design softwares like metasynth,
soundhack, msp to the mac side. and i would like to install cubase, soundforge,
audiomulch to the pc side. would this work?
thanks and best regards.

Its always the
same story with digi, if you want other software running
reliably, you
need an additional interface.
I have only experience with the old M-box and
that sometimes bugs out
even with protools. This is even true for an
interface like the Digi
002. We had a concert recently where three in
words 3 different digi 002
all bugged out (probably some dirty mains, but
thats a guess...)
fortunately I had an old Motu mark I as 4th backup which
saved the
session, as we only wanted to play complete sound files, which I
could
easily play with Max/MSP...
For the speed, USB 1.1 would be
fast enough even for 96/24 as the M-box
has only two channels, but there
are other issues which seem to make it
less reliable (especially in
combination with Digi). Firewire is made
for streaming, USB is made for
mice not for mics...
I'd never trust digi if you need it live. ProTools
is a great software,
but Dizzydesigns hardware and drivers are a
nightmare, and customer
service literally doesn't exist, unless you buy
the big packets with
support...
Sorry, the only thing I love about
Digi is the rants... ;-)
