Hi,
OMF does not seem to carry midi data, and it does not seem to remember track
or bus effects inserts and other plugin information. Effectively all I have
ever been able to see in OMF is the audio tracks data carry over. Obviously
the compressors and other effects not active on each track as
non-distructive effects.
Hardly sounds like what we want when collaborating between DAWs.
Personally I do not think that day will come when we will get it right.
Never. So let's just live with it. <frown>
It's like hoping for a pill to counter old-age and death. Forget it folks.
They will just never find the hypothetical aging gene, isolate it, disengage
it, and wahlla! you live forever. Perhaps in the science fiction movies.
But never in reality.
Whether under Mac or Windows, enjoy making music.

I did not know that. How does that work? Does it just save as CWP? Or is
there something else going on?

actually, if he's using pro tools nine, then he can export a session
that she could import straight into Sonar and vice versa.

I hate to do this, especially on a sonar mailing list, but if you're
doing
small things and want to collaborate, reaper might be a better option
for
you than Sonar because it's a lot lighter on system resources, and it
works
on windows and mac. It isn't accessible on OSX but works well for us on
Windows, and he'd be able to use his mac and send projects you can use
with
the same program on Windows. If he's using garage band or protools you
won't
be able to on another computer that isn't a mac (there's a windows
ProTools
but it's a disaster both accessibility wise and in other ways). If you
decide to stick with Sonar he'll have to learn how that works in order
to
collaborate. So either way someone's going to have to learn how to use
a new
system so you can both work together. Just an idea.

Ok, this is the whole reason I have not gotten a desktop. I just
don't do
enough to warant all this stuff which I don't understand. I mean I
have a
lot of projects but they are small. I'm a singer songwriter. Sonar
is my
version of the eight track dat with a lot more power. Of course, if I
got
a computer, I'd do the two hard drives, even though I don't really
understand the need and it seems like it would be confusing. Like
you'd
be always searching for your stuff. But how can you run windows on a
mac?
Isn't that like two different operating systems? Darrell has
mentioned
garage band, but since we colaborate on songs sometimes, isn't that a
bad
idea? I'm not arguing I promise, just asking a whole lot of
questions.
Because honestly my laptop works great other than that I have to hook
it
up whereas a desktop would just stay hooked all the time.

Hi. You can run windows natively on a desktop without a problem.
So,
if you have a dual boot machine, you can have a mac OS X partition,
and a windows partition.
I really can't think of much that you can't do on a mac now. as far
as music production, you have garage band and pro tools as the two
main options currently. The main drawback with pt right now is the
fact that the event list editor is not accessible.
Macs are built very well, now have thunderbolt, and windows runs very
smoothly on a Mac.
Regarding the desk space issue, a mac book pro or an I mac would
solve
that.
For audio work, you really want two hard drives; a system drive and
an
audio/storage drive. You can use the thunderbolt port to connect an
additional drive or drives, with or without using a raid
configuration. Also, you can get the I mac with two hard drives now.
A solid state hd and a 7200rpm hd. that would work fine.
Good luck,
Cameron.

Our next purchase, after we actually purchase monitors that work and
don't
pop and hiss, is a new computer. Darrell is all about mac this and
mac
that. He says mac is best. Can I use sonar with mac? Are macs
blind
friendly? I tried to tell him that I didn't think mac would work
well
with
sonar. He isn't really believing me. I'm afraid it would end up
being
an
accessibility issue. If both of us are going to use a computer
that's
mostly for music... wouldn't it make sense to have something that
both
of us
can use? So remind me again why it's better to have a desktop? Is
it a
hard drive issue? Would I still be using a audio interface like m
audio
to
plug into everything? What is the difference between a computer
designed
for music and one that isn't? The bad thing is that I'd also have
to
get
speakers and a monitor to clutter up my already crowded table.
