Thanks Kevin yes the mini is also very easy to get in to, you don't
even have to fiddle with screws the bottom pannel has a twisting lock
thing you just twist and pull. Thanks for all the info it really helps
a lot.

Being mainly a guitar player, i was actually wondering if 11 was accessible. Is
there a freee version that came with PT? I don't rememver seeing it on my plug
ins list or on my dvd, but i'll look again if there is supposed to be one
included.

I like your ideas on the third party options etc, seems practical and
something I'd look into. The Mini server particularly sounds interesting.
Other than saving on the screen, what differences would there be between the

The catch with the minis is that you need a screen for it to run at optimum
levels. Oddly enough, at least with my mini, which is mid 2009, without a
monitor, the system is very sluggish. Many other folks have noticed this as
well. However, I'm not sure if this is also true for the newest minis

That is also a good idea...I suppose I really just liked the idea of not
spending money on a screen I never needed. But at the end of the day a
laptop probably has advantages in a number of ways, and with two hard drives
it could be a great option. I rarely use the optical drive at the best of

Hey J. R.
The MBP 2010 and newer do have fans. Run PT for a while and then feel around
the back under the display hinge.

Yeah SSD's are where it's at. I would say these mbp's can handle an SSD and a
7200 rpm drive with out trouble. I haven't put the second disk in mine yet. I

When mixing you may want to raise your sample buffer size for playback. It
doesn't need to be as low as it does for recording due to the lack of need for

Hi all,
In regard to the video function in PT, I've a question.
By default, PT will let you bounce your audio mix and save it as the new audio

it as a full resolution .mov file? If it does not do this natively, is ther
You can save it as a quicktime file which is .mov.
