Keep in mind ProTools is not the same as the rest of the DAW apps because Digi goes extra miles to prohibits PT use if Digi hardware is not present, and the same goes to M-Powered version. For that, PT isn't OSX CoreAudio application. >Similarly, 99% of all OS 9 audio software will not work in the classic >environment. Most of the DAW apps won't run under Classic, not because of the API, but because of its copy protection failure. Classic, as VPC does, has API from SndMgr to CA, meaning the emulator shell can talk to built-in audio hardware, while it can't talk to any 3rd party drivers. Finale's issue is more complicated. My impression from running Finale under Classic was that its legacy code couldn't talk to even the standard shell API. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
