Hi Gord, I'm just about to get the 2.0GHz, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD version (can't quite push it for the extra clock speed and SSD space). This machine will be used to get a Mac version of the Mackie Display Reader going. I'm interested that you've had some issues with using a PC keyboard - the

Is worth it to get an Apple keyboard. Besides fixing compatibility issues, they're really cool designs. The keyboards are basically a flat laptop keyboard built in to a thin, but strong, aluminum frame. They're very thin, have practically no wasted border around the keys, and are extremely

No, I said that I'd had luck. Most of the Avid instruments are accessible. They show their presets in the plug in window's preset librarian, and you can edit them through the visible automation parameters. There are some exceptions. Structure and Structure LE are 100% out. You must use their

Well, that is certainly an issue. It seems that when I try to use one of those keystrokes it mutes or solos everything and when you unsolo or unmute certain tracks seem to not be in the state you want. I thought it had to do with having assigned tracks to groups and I tried deleting the

BTW, using the keyboard shortcuts for soloing and muting works for selected tracks. So, in other words, if you create a new session with new tracks, all are selected by default and if you try to solo or mute anything, it'll solo and/or mute everything. HTH, Slau

Oh yeah that midi studio ap definitely doesn't work for us. I think you need to use it to tell pro tools what hardware you're using too. Gord -Original Message- From: Tim Burgess Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2011 3:34 AM To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Control Surface OK, I'm

Hi: I was hoping that the garitan aria player would be accessible but it doesn't look good. If it were we could import sfz stuff into it. We really really are going to need a sampler of some sort. I like xpand though, at least we have access to the envelopes and it's simple and

Hmmm, that's not what I'm experiencing. For instance, I can select a track that plays then press Shift+M and it won't mute. Those keystrokes don't seem to do anything at all. I'm going to steal the wired keyboard from my wife's iMac and see what happens. Best wishes. Tim Burgess Raised Bar
