Parallel Desktop vs. BootCamp (with Pro Tools!)

 Watz up Blog?!!?! Just a little update. I spent the last three days trying to install Pro Tools 7.4 on a Imac with Parallels Desktop! Found out that it is impossible because windows and mac hardware would have to share power. So just in case you are ever interested in installing in Installing Pro Tools on a Mac with Windows the better option would be to use boot camp. Boot Camp is an Apple product which allows you to choose at startup whether to run Windows or Osx operating Systems. The Software now comes with Leopard 10.5 !!!  So now I have the best of both worlds on my Mac. Blogout!!!!!!!!!!!

Watz up blog interested in seeing how well I did on my test!!!!!! Seems as though the weeks are flying by huh ?!?!?!?!??! Found out that Pro Tools or should I say Digidesign is shooting for the release of Pro Tools 8 for December. They do give a disclaimer though saying basically they still have to test the product, soooooo I won't get my hopes up as of yet ! Anyways that's pretty much all there is to it, I don't really have much else to say for right now, but I guess we'll type later. Blogout!!!!!!!!!

Pro Tools 8 !!!!!!!!!

I am extremely excited about the upcoming release of ProTools 8. The makers of ProTools decided to change the appearance and interface completely. The new software almost looks like they were gonig for a "Logic" like appearance. The new setup is more pleasing on the eye and allows you to manuever the transport,icons,and buttons on top of the screen. In the mix window the whole track color can be changed as oppose to having only a tab at the bottom of the fader console. The program also allows you to do music scoring , use of elastic time plugin, increases track number, alows for midi production and comes with some added plugins. All and all I think this is a positive step for ProTools and look forward to buying ProTools 8. As of yet they have not given a release date. Ishmen's blog out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
