Thanks for that, I was wondering if the PT with speech had setup stuff but there might be extra tips and tricks in PT and V O prefs that people are using here.
The gs-r 24 m is in fact an amazing desk, so much so I'll invest in a mac and PT and change everything to use its features fully. Its a sizable investment though even for a professional setup, but its appearance alone is nearly bringing in clients. People will really think I'm a grown up studio when I have a mac and a desk now, where as before despite some great outboard and great converters people were still like, wheres the mixer and what software are you using. Now figuring out which mac to buy as always is a head ache as they've ingeniously set out all options to wind up making it a choice between spending lots or settling for less. If they still had the quad core mac mini I think that would be perfect for me, not sure how much performance PT will get out of the current dual core i7 at the top of the mini range. I'm coming from a quad core i7 2.7 ghz on the windows side with 16 gig ram, but the new PT and mac OS is presumably much better at using hiper threading etc than Sonar 8 and Windows 7, so maybe a seemingly lesser processor in a mac now won't actually leave me too disappointed. That's kind of off topic though. All ideas welcome still! On 3/31/15, TheOreoMonster <monkeypushe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Quad core iMac should serve you well. Envious of your board.
