Let's stop kidding for a while :

More seriously: you've mentioned time factory somewhere, does it load in classic mode correctly ? ( as much as i know, there's no Cocoa version of this program )

Works fine for me in OS X 10.4.6. Last time I checked with their tech support version 2 (OS X/UB) will be out in July.

That's a good new, i'm just thinking that actually there are many alternatives that are supposed to rival in quality ( zplane, serato's pitch'n time, melodyne, of course, ...)

Ooh... and i forgot to mention that "Of course" is developped by "Obvious software and Co"

( silly typo !!!! :lol: :lol: )

Sure there are alternatives, but not really, IMHO. Zplane isn't working reliably (at least not with my material) and sounds too grainy to my ears (it's giving me one hell of artifacts with epiano tracks and guitar). Serato creates a lot of reverberation, especially with voice. Of course this artifact isn't that problematic but I'd like my percussion and voiceovers to remain crispy and not lose presence.

Melodyne is quite good for vocals, but it sometimes creates strange noises with consonants. And it's not really usable with polyphonic music either.... so I'm not convinced there's anything that comes close to Timefactory on the Mac. Wavelab on the PC is the best alternative I've heard so far, it also appears to be alot faster than Timefactory...

What? You're talking about Antares again? Man, you really need to speak clear text if you want us to get your point...!

The disk comes with a video tutorial on how to use it.

MSD itself records only 16-bit audio, but will import and deal with 24-bit. No dongle, of course. It's so cheap that it might be worth a try just on the off-chance that it's what you're looking for.

Edit: they call it Elastic Audio Easy. More details here on their US site: http://site.magix.net/english-us/home/m ... n=standard

Take care,

Very interesting thought, I've never tried this.
Thanks a lot GreyLion

As mentioned in my opening thread, Autotune isn't really an option due to PACE. Maybe iLok's are totally stable on Macs but that definitely is not the case on PCs I'm afraid.
