Latency, here we go again...

So if I were to buy a Mac Pro (4 or 8 core?)...
with 8GB ram
and the Apogee Duet
and I worked only with VIs and Samplers...
except for my Vocals (average 6 tracks per song)
but i only record my vocals one track at a time
but i like to record my vocals with the soft plug-ins running (especially compression & reverb)
however my session can get big (i.e. 60 tracks totally pimped out hard)
so the questions are:
can i achieve a happy latency to record my vocal tracks with?
would you specifically recommend or comment on the following:
model of mac pro (4 or 8 Core?)
amount of ram (i am thinking 8GB)
i/o interface? (better than duet for home recording latency?)
any other suggestions other than going PCIe PT HD?
thanks

*Unless you are going to run huge EXS libraries on virtual memory or standalone instances of Samplers/Sample players 8 Gigs of RAM doesn't seem to make much sense. If you are on Leopard which is 64 Bit and only use 3rd party plugs which are also 64 Bit then you will benefit from more RAM.*
I'm assuming then, that you are saying both EXS and 3rd party are BOTH 64bit and therefore, the best way to safeguard myself if i WAS to decide to use alot of these, is to definitely go 8GB - is this correct?
*I am very happy with my 8-core, Logic uses them all 8 and I haven't had an overload message in months even running big projects with 60+ Audio/Softsynth tracks and plenty of Fx plugs. Make sure to get at least 2 internal SATA drives and a fast external one as well.*
that's awesome, at least i know the 8 core will serve me well - can you please explain to me what you use the 2 internal and one external SATA for specifically...
i have been thinking for my Mac Pro:
internal 1: 500GB SATA: OS, Appls etc
internal 2: 500GB SATA: Sessions, Audio Files
internal 3: 500GB SATA: Samples, VI Patches
internal 4: 500GB SATA: Video, Photos, MP3s
2 x 1 Terabyte External Firewire 800 Drives: Backup Everything
*As I monitor my live recordings through my desk and don't use Software monitoring I can't really speak about the latency. I can say that I can run most of my big projects on buffer sizes like 64-128. If a lot of NI Kontakt instruments/Multis are involved I have to go up to 264 sometimes as Kontakt doesn't really support Multicore processing unless you set your buffer to 1024 which doesn't really work for me.*
I suppose this is irrelevant to me as i'd prefer not to use an outboard mixer - i'm a bit more interested in those monitoring solely through their duet (or similar or better) device with software fx (mainly compression & reverb) added
thanks

Well here we go again another month same problem

Im really annoyed about this now it is every month since march the same problem.
Had the issue at begin of sept got engineer to come out 16th sept to fix the issue he tested everything in the house and there was no problems. He went to the exchange and reset stuff there telling me to give it to the 3rd October to settle down. So it settled at max achievable speed 2000kbps and my ip profile was 2000 kbps but my ip profile went down to 1750 on the 28th of sept.
Well today yip you guessed it my max speed is 500kbps and my ip profile is now 500kbps.
Im so fed up now as i will again have to wait for them to sort it out and then it will be ok for a couple of weeks with the max speed and ip profile going down till im back at 500kbps on each.
There has got to be something causing this, the quiet line test is clear, my hub is wired direct to the wall socket that has an inbuilt filter in it.
the noise level has gone to 13.3

Well here we go again with the Usage

I've had problems in the past with the meter saying my son and I were using 90gb a month. I finally got the matter resolved with the help of Sean via here and the overpayments were refunded and things settled back down again. That was last year.
I've had odd spikes from time to time but its been fine, in fact we have (according to the meter) been using on average about 25gb a month (I'm on a 40gb usage limit). So I stopped checking religiously every day - after all, it was back to where it should be given we dont stream movies, watch iplayer, all the things we are told just simply EAT the usage.
Then last month I received an email to say we had gone over 28GB!! The remainder of the month I was checking daily, we scrapped in with less than 2GB left by 31/10.
So now I am back to checking the figures every morning and guess what... I don't believe them again.
0.66        1/11/14
1.57        2/11/14
5.24        3/11/14
I've used over 5GB in 3 days? And more to the point I used 3.67gb yesterday??I am so not a happy bunny today.

Here we go again! MEGA slow speeds during peak hou...

Hi folks,
I have noticed that during PEAK hours, my XBox Live sessions lag like a [insert expletive here]!
WHY, oh why do BT insist on throttling, nay, strangling their network to the point where it is totally unusable for anything more than basic browsing or sending/receiving emails?!?
I work reasonably long hours and only get two days off per week, so when I have free time, I'd like to game in a relatively lag-free environment, but right now, this isn't happening! Just tonight, in a game of MW2, I was experiencing such bad lag that shot registration was all but extinct!
I know that BT throttle P2P, but I don't use it and wonder why http and other protocols are being throttled as well!
A speedtest.net result:
And one from BT's own speedtester:
Come on, BT! This is NOT the service that I'm paying for and if it continues this way, I'm out of here when my contract ends!

Hi there,
Thanks for your reply.
As I understand it, BT are only in breach if the speed falls below the "acceptable speed" threshold in your profile, which in my case, is 12000kbps. Even then, I'm almost certain that BT would offer the *cough* "solution" of changing you from FTTC to ADSL.
Personally speaking, I think the issue lies with contention in the network, either locally or at a centralised point. Unfortunately, the only solution for this (other than throttling speeds to the point of being unusable) is to buy in more bandwidth from BT Wholesale, but that of course, would cut too deeply into BT's profits and in turn see us all paying more for next years' service.
What is the purpose in selling/supplying FTTC when the network infrastructure is clearly unable to meet demand? Using marketing ploys to create this artificial/false perception of what FTTC is, a "superfast fibre service" (partial fibre) then once bought by the consumer only to be told that there are restrictions to be applied is merely lying. Even though there is a FUP many of the constraints once the contract is agreed to, are hidden from the customer. Then again this is the case with most companies.

Here we go again...restore and upgrade

hi. checked all over here and did everything...in a nutshell...
bought new 32g ipt...gave 16g to my daugher, who is on my macbookpro under her own account, but same itunes account, machine is authorized.
i purchased the jan software upgrade on my imac. i copied the ''mobile application'' file to her laptop.
i plugged in the 16 gig with the upgrade to her library and did a restore. all went well except no upgrade apps.
i have not plugged in my new 32 but am concerned it may not have the new apps either.
so am i stuck paying THREE times now for the apps??
any new answers out there??
thanks everybody/anybody!

before you buy it again, and assuming you have moved the authorization key and you are using the same iTunes account to sync the apps that you used when you originally bought the apps, try downloading and installing 1.1.4 one more time, then go into iTunes, go to the Store menu and Deauthorize this computer then Authorize it, again using the Apple ID and password for the account that was used when originally purchased, then resync.
It that does not work, go to iTunes Store support and relate your problem to them.

Here we go again...cannot update 10.0.0.1 via GPO

Per usual, I'm trying to deploy some of the patches released via the Adobe Gods and once again, things aren't working.
I'm a bit behind in updates just becasue of these issues. Everytime I try and update, I run into brick walls and it's always such a hassle I avoid it as much as possible anymore.
My new struggle is updating our existing clients from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.3. I've downloaded both incremental patches (AcrobatSecUpd1002.msp & AcrobatSecUpd1003.msp) but get errors right away. When I try to apply the patch to our existing install I get the error message:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
These are the commands I'm using:
"msiexe c /a AcroRead.msi /p AcrobatSecUpd1002.msp"
"msiexe c /a AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi /p AcrobatSecUpd1002.msp"
I tried both AcroRead.msi & AdbeRdr1000_en_US.msi just in case something changed when I applied the AdbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp update a while ago.
So again I'm flustered and confused and don't know where to go from here. I just wish this would be easier and not be such a headache every time I need to push updates down to the clients via GPO.
Would having a program like installshield or Wise or some other similar program help with stuff like this? If so then I'm going to definately start pushing my boss to approve the purchase of it!!!
Heeeeeeeeeeelp!!!

Ah, okay. We got an email here at work saying that 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 were vulnerable and to update to 10.0.03. So I went to the FTP site to see what was availiable and saw those updates. I didn't realize it was only for the other versions. My bad. Thanks for clerifying!
EDIT: Geez...I need to figure out what email is connected to what username and delete one of these things before I drive myself batty!

Again I having trouble sync (uploading) files to CC.
I get an error message saying that a file (every file) can not be synced - this is folloowed by an absolute nonsense error message - can't upload look at your file - really anoying!
Is this the same problem as when the whole CC went down this spring and we all got stuck for months without this CC access?
Does anyone know an effective way to escalate/report this error.

My second ipod (here we go again)

Well I didn't think I would ever do it, but I bought another ipod. I posted on here several times about trouble with my first one not being recognized by windows (usb device not recognized) Finally took it to an apple store in Cincy (80 miles away). They said the port on the bottom of was broken, and for $120 they could send it out and have it fixed. Or I could turn it in to be recycled and get a whopping 10% off a new one. So what the heck, why pay that much to get it fixed, when I could just get a new one. So I bought a new U2 edition, worked great for a month, then it crashed. The screen said I need to restore it, so I tried, all I got was an eror message saying... "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod. The requested resource was not found." So I called tech support and talked to them for over 2 hours with no luck. I kept saying that it seems to be a problem on their end if the software is not available to download, but they had me try everything from making a new windows account to dancing around it chanting in some native language that I didn't even understand, and of course never got anywhere. So, I drove back to the apple store (80 miles) (total miles now 320). The guy restored it in 5 minutes and I was out of there. Great. Then 5 hours later it crashes again, same thing when I try to restore, ..."There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod. The requested resource was not found." So what should I do drive another 160 miles round trip to get it restored again? Waste another 2 hours on the phone? Or go and get my money back and give up?

You could exchange it.
Before you do try a couple of things. 1st, check the settings on your firewall to be sure you aren't being blocked. 2nd, delete the iPod Photo Cache on your computer. 3rd, if that doesn't work, reformat your iPod in Windows (FAT32, not a quick format) then try to Restore in iTunes.
Also, be sure the Temp directory on your computer is empty and finally, try this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309

Here we go again, problems with Email STILL/AGAIN.

Now not only am I still having the same problem of the iPhone saving my deleted email, the iPhone is now deleting my email accounts ON ITS OWN. I went to bed last night with two distinct pop accounts and woke up with only one. I just can't believe this. How is this possible? Anyone else having difficulty in these areas? I would really appreciate some input. Thanks in advance.

Noisy phone line, here we go again......

Hi, all,
I'm new here, so please be gentle!
We've been going round and round on this one for over a year, wonder if anyone has any new suggestions....
Basically, we have an intermittent crackle on our land line. Been going on for ages now.
We've had all sockets rewired and replaced, external cables changed, and the cable pair back to the pillar swapped.
Thing is, despite 4 or 5 visits, an engineer has never heard the noise. I've been onto faults and explained this to the nice lady in Bangalore, and all they can do is send an engineer, depite the fact it's obviously nothing local.
We had the same issue when we were with Virgin for phone service, which suggests to me (an old IT engineer) that the issue must be between the pillar and the exchange, but what do I know?
Apart from looking for coreallations with weather, time of day, phase of the moon and sunspot activity, I don't see anything else I can do to avoid some poor engineer arriving, running a quiet line test and leaving again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Phil

all you can do is persist with engineers until it is resolved

No Sound, here we go again...

New to Flash, old to everything else. Wanted to put a simple
5 minute video clip on a site, in a flash file. I chose "import
video", chose my video clip, which is labelled as a .mpg file. And
when testing in Flash itself, video only, no sound. So I publish,
upload, no sound again.
Now, I've done searches in the forums here, and everyone is
mentioning this problem as if it's local to their own machine and
player. However, when I check this on both my macs, and my new xp
install, which is bone stock, I still get zero sound.
The mpg plays fine in Quicktime player, but the minute Flash
gets ahold of it, sound is gone.
I've spent several hours already trying various formats, and
it doesn't matter.
This is such basic stuff, it's hard to believe at a version 8
and 9, this stuff still happens.
So what's the secret? Do I have to convert the thing to a
.flv format, or can I somehow embed it in, or keep it in Quicktime
format?

First of all - the statement of "...put a simple 5 minute
video clip on a site..." - that's kind of
an oxy-moron - a 5 min video is not exactly "simple" - it's
large and there are several ways to go
about this way better than importing it into a flash file -
try exporting it as an FLV and using the
Flash Media Player to progressively stream as opposed to a
humongus SWF.
Also - I do believe that audio in a MPEG imported to Flash on
a *mac* will never be included on
import. Pretty sure that statement is true - but I do not own
a mac.
regardless - if I had a 5 minute chunk of audio - the last

into a flash file - make an FLV out of it and keep it
external.
hope this helps.
