I got pissed off at Pro Tools for the last time this morning. It gave me some error about my drive being too fragmented to record when there was 6 GB contiguous space free! Having tried Deck 2 and 3 and found them to be too slow on my iMac, I looked around Hotline for an alternative multitrack recording solution. On Shortlegs' Hotline server (shortlegs.no-ip.org), I found a program called DigiTrax 1.2, which I downloaded. It came on a single floppy disk image. I installed it on the iMac (though it will work on any Power Mac, 68k AV, or 68k with a Nubus audio card), and it worked flawlessly in OS 9. The audio latency was very good; everything seemed to stay in sync very well. It even felt fast when I used it on my 6400/180. DigiTrax is just like Pro Tools and Deck except for its six-track limit, its lack of MIDI support, and its speed. It's perfect for what I need it for; multitrack recordings with guitar, bass, piano, and (virtual) drums. Give it a try!Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert

Cool, I've never heard of that one. I personally love ProTools, but I was brought up on it in college so maybe I'm biased. Anyway, ProTools is very hardware-hungry. Running it on an iMac isn't a great idea. Although, I'm running ProTools 5 Free on my 7500, using a 7,200 rpm, 2GB SCSI-3 drive as the scratch, and it works great. I'm also going to be running ProTools 3.x on my Quadra whenever I get that AudioMedia II card from Dana.  I may try DigiTrax out on it first, though. Will it work with a PAS-16? Or the 840AV's onboard DSP?666th poster and 666th thread-creator

It uses the 840av dsp so it should be ok speedwise but I hav'nt tried it.

You mean Mark Wahlberg, star of recent movies like Planet of the Apes, Rock Star and Fear. Oh, and, I guess you'd have to ask him! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator
