Hi from Spain

<< < (3/3)

Protools5LEGuy:
Welcome.

Don't install it in Spanish because there are many things about plug-ins and DAWs that don't work if you don't install the American version, for example. I think Protools 5 did weird things if you installed it in Spanish. I don't recommend it, unless you have a lot of SCSI printer/scanner equipment and absolutely need ñ. Almost everyone here used the version with the latest Apple ROM and extensions cooked up by DieHard and Mactron. There's also a version that works for G4s with FireWire 800 and another for Mac Minis. Although I'm crazy about the Instant DAW that DieHard prepared with hundreds of authorized plug-ins that restores with SSDs (and even HDDs) in minutes, and on top of that (hours and hours of manual installation if you don't use it) I install Logic and Protools because the image is prepared for G4s + M-Audio AP2496 + Cubase. You have a great system in minutes instead of days.

If you're a ProTooler, you'll install user collections. I set up mine for LE, and other users have cooked up another one for TDM, both ProTools 4 and 5.

According to the guru MacTron, Finder is barely ready for a dual processor, and I think Finder is almost the same with a G3 as it is with a G4.

MacTron recommends single-core Xserve G4 processors in MDDs. With the 1.42 or 1.33, it has reached close to 2 GHz.

It's also important to know which DAW or software you're going to use, because many barely support dual cores. ProTools ignores  dual processors up to ProTools 7, which is from Mac OS Tiger. Logic 4, 5, and 6 use Altivec (G4) and a dual processor. I don't know about CuBase. Some video programs that MacTron recommended with a G4 did on-the-fly video editing, and it wasn't Final Cut Pro or Premiere. QuickTime runs better on a dual processor, if I recall correctly. Look for a post by MacTron, our favorite Galician, about Altivec and a dual processor, which is priceless.

Hi, I installed OS9 on my MDD a while ago, but I think I removed the multiprocess folder from the System Folder. To get it working in Spanish, I installed it from a G4 GE, then swapped the macOS ROM for the one found here at Macos9lives in the MDD installer.

As for the LC475, I'm using bluescsi V1.1, and I'm very happy with it.
