Simsington Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi All! I recently purchased Virtual PC 7 (Full XP professional version) for my iMac (800G4 + 768MB RAM) to try and run SonicStage and wanted to share my experience with anyone considering doing the same. It's SLOW!! It took more than 1 hour to upload a 4 minute CD track to the SonicStage Library. CD playback was jerky and fragmented in both SonicStage and in the packaged windows media player. I have to say that I was warned that it was slow - but I was not expecting this! I am sending it back to Amazon today. Thanks for a great Forum!!

Latexxx Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Dual G5 is probably faster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefbeef Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 WAIT!!! Can you try and see if the real time upload method (discussed in this forum) works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simsington Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I don't have any sound input devices on my machine - otherwise I would! It does seem very unlikey, however, that it would keep up with a real time transfer - given that a 4 minute song took more than 1 hour to transfer. (with respect to the G5 comment - 10 times quicker would still be unacceptably slow!!) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotic Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Tis the only reason, I still kept my old dinasaur pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefbeef Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 But the sound input is through the USB port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
