PSP Vintage Warmer released Universal Binary for Intel Macs

For those that care, PSP just released their UB version for Intel Macs. Many of us have been waiting for this and I just downloaded a demo version of this to play with. Supposed to be one of the better multiband compressor type of plug ins out there.

Just use Debowelerificator version 1.78.
It sounds much better,and has NO latency,if you use the Triturator presets.
Cheers

PSP Vintage Warmer 2 vs. Nomad Factory Analog Signature Pack

Hello,
I love my MacBook Pro DP 2.0ghz system running Logic Express. I am finding, however, that I need an analog "fattener" to make my tracks and mixes sound richer and more "old skool."
Based upon my budget, I have narrowed down my choices to these two:
PSP VintageWarmer 2 and
Nomad Factory Analog Signature Pack
Engineers seem to tilt in the direction of the PSP, but I think the Nomad stuff is just a little less well-known. Do any of you have direct experience with both plug-ins and can offer your opinions? I have posted similar questions on both the Nomad Factory and PSP forums, but I should have a less biased set of responses from this community, I would think.
Thank you,

Well, I have spent a few hours demoing PSP Vintage Warmer and the Nomad Factory Analog Signature Pack. Here are my first impressions:
1) The Nomad interfaces do actually make more sense to me. I still have not figured out how to get to the back panel of the PSP VW yet, although I didn’t really “research” the issue much.
2) I found that the Nomad’s analog overdriven distortion sounded very realistic. I liked the EQs, both the stand-alone and the channel strip versions. I had a goofy drum machine patch that I looped and tried these plugs on, and the EQ found life and realism in the patch that I did not think was even there.
Having said all that, I was even more impressed with the PSP Vintage Warmer:
3) The presets were 100x better. In fact, on the drum loop I was demoing with, EVERY preset sounded good, and better than the Nomad presets, even the clearly inappropriate ones!
4) Instead of modeling the buzziness of overdriven tubes, the PSP seems to do better at replicating the richer and more subtle warmth of tape saturation.
5) The PSP VW seemed to have a LOT more headroom and a LOT more depth. Things got analog fat in a hurry without tons of overdrive distortion break-up. I quickly tried it on other things, like vocals, rock guitars, B3, and bass, and found it to be extremely well-mannered, no matter what the input signal.
I can see how most fans of Vintage Warmer claim they use it on every track. You absolutely can’t screw the thing up, even if you have no real expertise in final mixing and mastering (like me), and if you actually DO have the knowledge and bat-ears to tweak this plug, I’m sure it delivers even more.
I still have more testing to do. My verdict is certainly not a final one, but right now my money (literally) might be on the PSP Vintage Warmer. I am using Logic, and the included EQ is great—I don’t need another, less “tweakable” one, even if it looks “vintage cool.” What I do need, however, is a plug that subtly saturates and warms the signal so that it sounds like I loaded a 2” tape 24-track Studer in a big-time expensive studio and tracked there. PSP’s Vintage Warmer nails that. With more study and experience, I might even be able to master with it, something I doubt could be done with the Analog Signature Pack.
Please give me you opinions and feel free to smack mine down, so long as your contentions are instructive and well-informed. Thanks!

Best financial software for Intel Macs

I see to my disgust that Intuit just released a new version of Quicken that is not universal binary. That being the case, what is the best home financial software for Intel Macs?

Hey Todd,
Just to be sure I am understanding you - you are saying you are miffed because Quicken missed the chance to go Universal Binary. That is understandable, but I just wanted to make sure you knew that it still runs on Intel macs.
I am running the newest release on my Macbook and to be honest Quicken just isn't one of those apps that is going to benefit from more speed.
My frustration has always been that Quicken dumbs down the functionality for the Mac version. Still the case with this last release.
That said, Quicken is still the best buy for my money (sorry couldn't resist!) and runs well via on the Intel macs.
The best solution and the one I am moving toward is to load XP on Parallels and run the PC version of Quicken that way.
Best of all worlds I would say.

Other Web browsers for Intel Mac?

Has anyone tried using Explorer or Firefox (both NOT universal) on their Intel Mac through Rosetta? Does it work ok? Or does it slow things down, crash, or other problems?
Safari DOES NOT work well with ebay. I tried to sell an item on ebay and it wouldn't work. Ebay says Safari is the problem.
Thanks in advance

IE 5 did work with ebay in Rosetta fine.
Says it won't be available for download on Mactopia after Jan 31.
I guess FireFox would be the next most reliable browser?

PlainTextPaste for Intel Mac?

I frequently need to copy many file names into an email. I had been using PlainTextPaste, but that does not run on the Intel Macs. Now, when I select more than one file in the Finder, copy, and paste into an email, the actual files themselves get pasted in, and not the names. Does anyone know of another product like PlainTextPaste for Intel Macs, or is there already a way to get the result I want that I don't know about?
Thanks,
-Tiffany

Create a new document in TextEdit, choose Make Plain Text from the Format menu, paste the list into it, and then copy it from there.

V10.4.7 for Intel Macs only?

Can anyone confirm for me whether or not there exists a Tiger version 10.4.7 which is only for Intel Macs?

There was also this:

This updated an Intel Mac up to 10.4.7. It required that a previous version of 10.4 already be installed.

Shutterfly Export Assistant for Intel Macs

After successfully downloading/installing Shutterfly's Export Assistant plugin for iPhoto 6.0.5 I soon realized that the "Shutterfly" tab was missing from the iPhoto File/Export menu. Searching Apple's Discussions I found posts of Jan '06 that say that Shutterfly currently does not support this plugin for Intel Macs. In fact, one of the posts gave a link to a Shutterfly page (http://www.shutterfly.com/downloads/sys_req.jsp?sw=osx) which unfortunately states, "Note: New Macintosh computers using an Intel processor are not yet supported." Bummer. I sent email to Shutterfly requesting when their plugin will work. In the meanwhile, does anyone have current informtion that can be shared on this topic? Thanks!

Here is the response from Shutterfly on how to get their Shutterfly Export Assistant for iPhoto on Intel Macs to work. I personally haven't had time to try this yet but plan to soon.
"Thank you for contacting Shutterfly.
We are sorry to hear that you have been having difficulties in using your plugin.We have heard from a few Mac customers that there are problems using the iPhoto plug-in on computers set up with multiple users. You can certainly try to use the plug-in, but be aware that it may only function for the main (root) user on the Mac by default.
To fix this, you need to go to the iphoto icon in applications, apple/click get info. go to the plug-in section, select the Shutterfly plug-in, click ownership and change it to everyone as opposed to a particular user. This will solve the problem.
Also please note that, there are two versions one for Intel Macs and one for Power PC Macs uninstall the one you currently have installed then reboot your computer go back and redownload the upload assistant and make sure you have the correct version for the processor your using. If you still find you are have these issues please give us a call at (800) 986-1065 and ask to be transferred to technical escalation so we can help you further.

Need an audio routing utility for intel mac

hi
i would like to know if there is a utility for intel macs which will allow me to specify which audio output is used by specific applications. to be more specific i would like itunes, DVD player, Eye TV applications output to go via the digital output on my Mac Pro which is linked to my Hifi, and everything else (system sound effects, iChat, etc) to go via the analog output which is linked to small PC speakers.
I am aware of the 'Detour' plugin, which sadly doesn't work on intel Macs, and basically am looking for a similar application for intel Macs
thanks
nick

I might have an answer. After trying every audio routing program I could find, I poked around in Nicecast. I found a deeply buried menu for an output choice of default or 1/2. It was on default so I chose 1 for left and 2 for right and this accomplished what I need. Until I quit the programs. Then I was back to square 1. I disabled Detour and tried a currently supported program, Jack. jack would not even load the currently running programs to be able to route them. So I went back to Detour and had to add Nicecast to it's list. All is well, I hope
In fact I tried another application at the same time and Detour did what it was supposed to, so it looks like my problem might have been with Nicecast all along, but I set the output back to default and it still worked. Maybe after some updates I just need to reset all the preferences? But Detour has not been supported since 2005 and Jack seems useless.

Shutterfly iPhoto Export Assistant - for INTEL Macs

I have twice followed the directions on the shutterfly site -
http://www.shutterfly.com/downloads/features_mac.jsp
. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin. It appears in my list of plugins and is checked when I go through the applications folder and get info on iPhoto. Still, when I select photos and click on export NOTHING happens - no tabs, no nothing. Suggestions?
Machine Name: MacBook Pro 17"
Machine Model: MacBookPro1,2
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP12.0061.B03
SMC Version: 1.5f10
Serial Number: W86291NTTHY
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled

I just got off the phone with Shutterfly tier 2 support and was told that the current Export Assistant for Intel Macs will not work with OS X version 10.4.8.
It seems to me that since 10.4.8 has been out way before the Intel compatible iPhoto Export Assistant for Shutterfly they might have tested it with the latest version of OS X. Also, there is no mention of compatability issues on the Shutterfly "Free Software" page, even though they are aware of the issue.
Additionally, the Shutterfly support pages only suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the plug-in, again with no mention of the fact that it does not work with the current version of OS X. Nice!

ReWire functionality for Intel Macs?

Has anyone heard when LE will add ReWire functionality for Intel Macs? I find it odd that Garageband's ReWire works fine, but LE Express doesn't. That feature was recently added to Logic Pro in the 7.2.1 update. Any word about when us Express users will be able to enjoy the same?

Hi T,

PSP Vintage Warmer update.

Hey Guys
finished searching the forum for more info on this.
I was just wondering if the latency issue on the vintage warmer 2 has been
addressed yet.
I tried the demo (2.0.1) and when I put the warmer on a drum bus there was quite a bit of latency, no matter if the logic plug in delay compensation was on or not.
That was the latest version I think of that plug in.
It's quite unusable to me unless the latency gets fixed.
I hope someone knows either how to fix this or PSP has released a newer
version I don't know about.
Anyway, hope they fix it soon or face mass exodus I think.

Just use Debowelerificator version 1.78.
It sounds much better,and has NO latency,if you use the Triturator presets.

How to create universal binary for CPAN bundle?

Hi all,
has anybody had any success on cross-compiling a Perl bundle (i.e., HTML::Parser from CPAN) on a PPC to create a universal version of the *.bundle file?
I have tried to manually change the compile and link command lines to build a i386 version according to
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/PortingUnix/compilin g/chapter4_section3.html
and then use "lipo" to create a universal version of the bundle. This "universal version works just fine on a PPC but not at all on an Intel Mac (even the error message is some mangled binary output so I can't really get much useful info from there...)
Andreas

OK, I tried building the bundle as i386 only but it was working about as well as the lipo'd universal one (i.e., not really...). Has anybody been successful building an i386 version of a CPAN bundle on a PPC or is this only possible on an i386 machine (in order to use the i386 version of Perl's PackageMaker)?
Andreas
