macdrum:
Hey guys, found this great site when setting up my MDD single with os9. I'm hopeing to use it inconjuction with my MPC-1000(even though Spark seems like it may make a good replacement:) I'm still trying to figure out setting up the audio...what driver does what, what sound card too use (too bad my firefly firewire doesn't work), but all in all, it has been a fun learning experience. Thanks for all the software preservation you guys host too 8) It really helps people out.

I just bought the Cubase 24/4.1 producer pack, brand new. I can't seem to authorize it (can't use the floppy authorizer on a G4...odd). Even though I can just download it here, I'm still gonna try and see if Steinberg will authorize it for me. What the hell, I did pay for :)

supernova777:
it should authorize from cd i think. not floppy?

supernova777:
u could always sync the mpc1000 to pro tools free!!!
depending on which mac u have.. if it has an audio in jack

see my recent post

its about the mpc 2000 but it should be similar to do with the mpc1000 i would think

macdrum:
It uses a CD for the Program and a Floppy for the authorizer. When I try to use the floppy to authorize it says that G4's cannot authorize using a floppy ( only G3's can :o ). It gives me code to send into Steinberg, and in return, they will send me another code to put in. Seeing that the software is from 1999, I think I'll just contact their customer support, even though it is listed as "unsupported".

Once I figure it out, Ill host it here (If I even get it working :) ), as it is a straight install of 4.1 with some nice plugins.


I'm definitely going to check out that mpc stuff. I love that thing and If I can use it with Pro Tools, that might make a dsp worth investing in :) Thanks

macdrum:
I'll just post this here, as I don't see a reason to start another thread for this funny story.

When I was 10 (back in 1996) we used to use mac's for school, I think we all remember oregon trail:) I did all my writing assignments on those computers as well and I saved my floppy disk as well.

I found that disk in storage and I have been trying to open those files for a couple years now. They have no file extensions either, making my life harder.

 When I got my G4 at a thrift store last year, I thought, ClarisWorks!!, it has to be ClarisWorks!! I loaded ClarisWorks and tried it out..... nothing. So, when I got os9 loaded a couple days ago, I thought, well it must be an older version of ClarisWorks, so I loaded up an older version of Clarisworks and...nothing again. I though, well the files must be corrupt, being an old floppy and all.

On a whim, I just double clicked one of the files with my old English assingments on it, and a message came up saying "This file only works with 'The Writing Center." I was ecstatic:) I found a copy of the writing center at MacintoshGarden and Bam!!, my papers loaded up. I had a complete flashback before my eyes, even the interface of that crappy old writing program took me back.

I actually wrote a very imaginative (and transperant, I might add:) ) story about a boy, who is givin money from a mysterious source, only to buy a Nintendo64 with Mario64 :) I really wanted a N64 back in the day and its really cool to read a story from a childs eyes about it.

Just want to thanks you guys again for this site, as this is where I found all my info on os9, including the install image. Can't wait to take screenshots and give these to my mom. We'll share a good laugh ;D
