Re: NuBus Mac for audio

[PsycoPunkn]

The setup that was being used when I did the recording was this:

Quadra 950
PowerPro 80MHz, no memory, no cache
130MB motherboard memory
1GB 5400rpm MicroNet drives
Pro Audio Spectrum 16 sound card

Now I have 32MB installed on the PowerPro, and 152MB on the board.  
Should I get more PowerPro RAM, and how much would I need if I should?
While were on the subject, and Ive asked before, how good is the quality 
of the PAS16 card?  Would the quality be high enough I could distribute music 
that was captured by this card?

Thanks

Chris

Re: NuBus Mac for audio

[dustinr]

I've done a lot of audio recording using an AudioMedia card in a IIfx, and 
never had any kind of problem with skipping. The IIfx is pretty pathetic in 
power compared to the boxes you're looking at. Personally, I don't think 
you're going to find the processor or bus speed to be a limiting factor in 
doing the recording. Of course, if you're planning on doing any post 
compression or effects type stuff, a faster processor will help.

As for your skipping problem - look into defragmenting your hard drive, 
and make sure that no other apps are doing anything in the backround 
while the recording is going on. Try and boot using only the extensions 
that are required for what you're doing. Try turning Appletalk off. 
Personally, I'm surprised you're having problems - even 48kHz sampling 
rates are pretty easy on decade old hardware. My old IIfx never seemed to 
miss a beat, and I wasn't running anything special.

What kind of system are you using now?

Best SCSI NuBus card

[PsycoPunkn]

Hello.  I was wondering what the best NuBus SCSI card is.  I think it 
would either be an FWB JackHammer, or an ATTO Silicon Express IV.  What are 
the transfer rates of these card?  Do they have one or two busses?

Thanks

Chris

PowerPro and RAM disk

[PsycoPunkn]

Hi.  I have a tough question,  but those are the best.  I have a PowerPro 
with RAM expansion installed in a Quadra 950.  It has 32MB installed on it.  
There is 152MB on the motherboard.  What I would like is to be able to use 
exactly all of the motherboard memory as a RAM disk, or at least none of the 
PowerPro memory.  How does a RAM disk choose what RAM it uses?  If it will 
try to take PowerPro memory, is there a way I can fill up the PowerPro memory 
so that when the RAM disk is created it cant use any of it?  Anything else I 
might be able to do?

Thanks

Chris

Re: NO MORE "WARNING!" Messages

[J Sand]

Danny,

None were meant to be an attack.  I get just as frustrated as you do about 
email BS in my mailbox that is unnecessary if someone would bother to spend 
the time to fix it so I didn't have to waste my time reading it.  Next time 
you have a complaint about an automated list, try sending it directly back 
to the person it is from and not to the whole mailing list.  That is what I 
was complaining about, I don't think it was proper for me to have to read 
about your "off color" remarks because of someone else's mistake, not mine.  
My comments were a defense to having to read what I considered offensive.  I 
hope this clears up the misunderstanding your frustrations with the 
automated mailing has caused between us.

John

NuBus Mac for audio

[PsycoPunkn]

Hello.  I have a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 card that I will be using to 
record audio to a hard drive or RAM disk.  I have some questions about using 
a computer for this purpose.  Would it be more important to have a faster 
processor speed or faster bus speed?  How much would level 2 cache help?  
What would be the best setting for Disk Cache in the memory control panel?  
What would be the best OS to run.  The processor would be between an 80MHz 
601 and a 120MHz 601+.  Also heres a toughy...I have found that sometimes 
when I record to a hard drive, the recording will skip, whereas when I record 
to a RAM disk it doesnt, or at least not as often.  However, the RAM disk is 
only about 130MB in size, which is good for maybe 25 min of audio (right?).  
Is there a way I can record to a hard drive but use the RAM as a buffer, so 
it records quickly but then copies to the hard drive and clears out the RAM 
disk of whats already has been copied.  I have a SCSI card which I guess can 
back up drives automatically or something, maybe I could use that on the RAM 
disk?

Thanks for any help

Chris

Oh common you have to resort to name calling and trying to insult me just
because I said something out of frustration that I received 20 "Warning"
mails today, and I would think that the maintainer of these lists would read
them to so stop with the personal attacks before I start and for your father
saying that well do I care about that?! another personal attack you brought
up, well good for you if you can only resort to these attacks shows how
mature you are.

I agree with you pickel, but when someone doesn't even know how to spell 
"DAMN IT" correctly, I don't think they will understand they are complaining 
to an automated email program.  Computer illiteracy abounds!  I didn't know 
"GOD" sent spam by email. As my deceased Father told me, "A man only swears 
when he doesn't have the mentality to say anything else." He should show 
some courtesy towards others on this list with his limited use of vocabulary 
skills!  Anger expressed at a machine is not a very bright understanding of 
the reality of the web!

I don't suppose you ever considered *following* the instructions in the warning
message, did you?

Nah, that never would have occurred to someone so thick as to complain about
Swaplist warnings on Quadlist.

Or maybe try e-mailing the address given for the list administrator, or reading
the netiquette page.  It would do you some good.

Genius.
