Re: [emax] Sound designer

2013-08-28 by Francis Cote

It felt like a good. I'm upgrading from a Quadra 700. I set it up with a
Ethernet adapter from Apple that uses the wierd connector I don't remember
the name of...
I share samples with other machine using am FTP server on my NAS.

Works great. I wanted the audio card and the software, and the seller is
giving me machine as a bonus.

So I get higher screen resolution and 16 bit audio. So I said " Why not!".
