Had some contact with Motu shortly after Tiger's release, the answer
basically said "you've got no chance sonny jim, we're snowed under". Of
course, maybe things have changed since then.
Erik, the only two apps that say multitrack on the tin that I know of are
Sound Studio from Felt Tip Software, and Cacophony made by a guy called
Richard Bannister I think. Not sure how accessible the multitrack functions
are on either of them, Cacophony was recently mentioned on the list but I
don't know if anybody really got their teeth in to it.
Also, you do of course have the option of running the dreaded windows either
under boot camp or as a virtual machine for your jams until the day when we
get access to something... anything. Just a thought.

Subject: Re: Multi-track recording on a Mac?
in reference to your query regarding the audio systems available. I am
quoting in british sterling
Logic Studio 8 is about £320 for the pack
Cubase 4 retails at about £290 upto £400
Pro Tools retails from £500 upto £10,000 dependant on system
as we had currently duscussed with information kindly received from jerry
that we could be looking at least 3 years or so before pro tools becomes
fully
or near fully accessible
as regards logic studio there are rumours of logice becoming accessible
soon.
regarding Cubase which myself and a few good kind individuals at the
midimag list, we are compiling information ready to present a case to both
yamaha
pro audio devision and steinberg technologies GMBH to discuss possible
accessibil methods and the coding behind voiceover and the GUI of cubase.
one other update is the possibility of contact with MOTU, the company
behind
Digital Performer 5 and getting accessibility to voiceover with the app. we
may as well try and avoid the monopoly of a major provider and get some
accessibility to all. that way it gives fair advantage and choice to the
individual whether he or she be a student in music, a musician, sound
engineer,
studio recording technician, composer, audio designer, etc you name it
each
person will want access to programs to assist them in their goal and
business
stratergies.
so let us see what we can generate. we should support each other in the
persuit of accessible hardware and software.
thanks all
be back soon as I can
