Hi Paul,
Using Gigastudio (on a PC obviously) with a Macintosh running the sequencing software is industry standard in Los Angeles among the Film/TV/Jingle folks. Works great!

Are any Mac users on the list using a PC as a slave to run GigaStudio? If so, how well does it work?

Think of your PC running Giga as you would any hardware sampler or synthesizer (as far as connecting it). If you are using a controller keyboard, that would go to the MIDI in on the Mac, The MIDI out of your Mac would go to the MIDI in of your Gigastudio PC. (So you will need a MIDI interface on your Mac and one on the PC)."
This is an interesting interview on the subject: <http://www.tascamgiga.com/pdf/giga-in-a-mac-world.pdf>

The dual- or not-dual dichotomy is a red herring here. Finale, GPO, and Digitial Performer 4 will certainly perform far better on a single 1.8 GHz G5 ($1500) than on a dual 1.3 GHz G4 upgrade slapped into a 500 MHz G4 minitower.
Excellent point. The two computers I have purchased (1995 and 2000) were both top-of-the-line Macs, so I was looking at the best available now (ca. $3000 by the time you add lots of RAM). I bought the best available as I knew that software bloat would quickly catch up with any increases in computing power. Some things never change...

Definitely hold off on any purchases until after the January 2005 MacWorld conference. If Steve unveils new G5s (as expected), there will be substantial discounts available on the old models.
Great suggestion! Thanks!
