i heard they have candy. but it's kosher. for the jews.

front end audio has a great review of the VL-X5 and actually puts them up against the KRKs. check it out here.

widescreen all the way.

tl;dr

by far, hands down, best in that price range are Tascam VL-X5. They will have those KRKs for breakfast.

Seriously amazing for that price. The only game in town for that price, actually.

Give me $45 and I'll take it -- I won't go any lower, though.

Pentium D and Core 2 Duo are both 64-bit, so that previous advice is kinda worthless. but if you are looking at processors now, you really should be looking at Core 2 Duo for a bunch of other reasons. Go to Tom's Hardware or something and look at the differences and it will be pretty obvious why.

i wish this thread was like digg so i could bury it.

this has been addressed in the benchmark thread on here and it has been looking like this so far: Vista is better with CPU (if you have a multi-core), but uses a bit more RAM. Overall, even with my dual-core CPU, I run out of CPU before I run out of RAM, so I'm all about Vista.

because i wanted to make a grilled cheese sandwich and thought making music would help with that.

that rewire business is going to have far-reaching implications that go way beyond reason, so i'm assuming they will get it solved pretty fast. still wish i could load reason as vst plugins, though.

well the OS problem is finally solved -- both OSX and Vista come as 64-bit now (vista will ship with an option to install either 64 or 32 from the same disk), so now the OS is not a question. and vista 64 will give users better security, so it's in everyone's interests to go with that. and, as i sai...

damn, that sucks. obviously a DAW is a place i really need more than 2GB of memory, but as long as they stay 32-bit we are all screwed.

Like many people on here, I have a dual-core processor that is 64-bit capable, and now that Vista is being released, I am wanting to upgrade to the 64-bit version of Vista so that I can put more memory in my system and have the OS be able to use it, but at the same time I don't want to run my DAW in...

it's been on here a bunch of times. people just keep on posting it. make the damn thing a sticky.
