    Digidesign NuBus expansion box

    @danpoarch Where can I find Nybblemaster 1.7 and Power FakeMaster 1.75? After googling the former, I got results for a Commodore64 program. How do I use it with Mac software? I have copies of Pro Tools III, MasterList 1.0, Sound Designer 2.4 and DINR that I want to make images of. Your help...

    Cool! I want to get a Mackie HUI eventually. It's good to know that compatibility is based on software. :)

    One the other things that I would like to find out - if the Mackie HUI interface is compatible with Nubus. It was launched concurrently with the release of the 888/24 and is compatible with Pro Tools 4.1. The article mentions PCI, but nothing of Nubus. I wonder if there were any other control...

    I've gotten conflicting information about 888 interfaces. Various users have said that the 888/24 isn't compatible with Nubus; however, a few have said that it is. I haven't gotten an 888 yet because I don't have clarity on this issue. Digidesign 888/24 compatibility was introduced with Pro...

    I recently acquired two SampleCell 1 cards. Apparently, the first version of the piggyback from 1991 is not compatible with Quadra machines. This makes me wonder if the original SampleCell 1 piggyback is compatible with the PowerMac 7100/8100 models. Hopefully, it's just a Quadra-specific issue...

    One article stated that 80 mhz Power Macs were actually preferred to the 100s because of the slightly faster 40 mhz bus speed. Were you able to use any plugins on your system? I've read that early Pro-Tools software was often better optimized for the hardware than current systems. I saw an...

    A lot of people say that the Audiomedia II has a really unique sound, even compared to the later Pro-Tools stuff. There's an interface called the Pro IO that has 18-bit Apogee converters, made for the Sound Accelerator card. I think it is compatible with Audiomedia II. Apparently, it is one of...

    I'm completely greenhorn with sampling and am going by second-hand information. All of the sample disks that I have were sampled by the previous owner. I've never actually sampled anything myself. I'm just having to read information on forums until I collect all of the parts to actually be able...

    I noticed that the disk i/o card that came with mine has a breakout cable attached to an internal connector. The 50/50 SCSI drive cable. It took me awhile to find the official name for the cable in Digidesign's support archives. Will any 50-pin SCSI hard drive work? Is there any kind of...

    Found some Pro-Tools videos discussing the old hardware circa Pro-Tools I-II. Wish there were actual sound-demonstration videos out there. I can't find any information on the bottom rack module. Looks cool.

    @paws That's what I meant. :) Is the voice quality good with polyphony? I have some old EMAX-formatted sample disks and wanted to re-sample (record) them into SC. It seems like using the Sample Cell would be a good way breathe new life into them. I have an old EMAX SE but have never really...

    @Phipli - thanks. :) Do you know if there is anything extra on the actual install disk vs the download? @paws - that's probably the most extensive write-up of SampleCell that I've seen, along with the SoundOnSound article. Is it possible to map samples on the GUI keyboard and then use a...

    @Phipli Please do! :) It would suck to not be able to use the cards. I've never used Sample Cell before and have always wanted to. @paws Thank you for the links. I'm in Northwest TX. Thank you for the information @chelseayr - I read a thread on the Avid forums about Pace copy protection...

    I have the 12-node ribbon cable, so I have to use the terminator on the last node. I've read that if the terminator is not used, there is distortion during playback. Interestingly, the manual doesn't say anything about 7100 compatibility from what I saw. Manual I have to ask: Was this your...

    1.) Does anyone have any experience Running Pro Tools III on the 7100 and/or 8100? 2.) Has anyone compared performance of Pro Tools between the two? 3.) Will the floppy-disc version of Pro Tools III w/ 4.1 update run on a PowerMac 8100? Do I have to use the CD-ROM version? Digidesign...
