I'm just starting up with ABShowMaker and it's a bit different from ABEdit. So far the only thing I really miss is some kind of level monitoring which I find...
... The VU meter function is superimposed on the input and output faders, displayed as the background to the fader settings. When you look at the software...

I don't have a Mac of my own so I can't try this, but can a show be built blind without an AB64 connected? It seems that a playback show can only be built with...
... Yes, definitely. The live controls and indicators will not be operating, but the program will record your actions and the show editor is always fully...
What I find with the AB64 is when I'm setting an extraordinay large number of crosspoints I can't fit it all into a single path. Of course, that wouldn't be a...
... This is an issue that comes up occasionally and I also think it would be a good idea, although it doesn't get asked for as often as you might expect. One...
Hi Tim, One question (for now) about the diffusion controller, will it set crosspoints in time (add delay to crosspoints as needed) as well as space, or is...
... The diffusion controller sets crosspoints in both time and space. I'm putting the finishing touches on it today (i.e. updating the help pages). Watch for...
... I won't argue that Cocoa is the best development framework going right now. Qt is the one alternative that is almost as good. Porting from Cocoa to Qt is...

... Qt is horribly inefficient, and FUGLY... but it "works" [kinda]. A cursory glance at an application's windows will quickly identify if Qt is in use. :\ ...
Hi Tim, Getting a Mac for one ap makes no sense. I'll just pre-program in ABEdit and add my spacemapping and fine-tuning on the rental Mac/ShowMaker when I get...
... Well, you can get a mini for pretty cheap, and you can even dual boot Windows on it. Only problem is, you might find yourself booting Windows less and...
... Funny you should ask. I was a VMS expert in one of my former lives -- back in the corporate days. The answer, of course, is: 1. Not in this lifetime and: ...
Tim has the following important announcement to make! The diffusion controller version of ABShowMaker (1.3.3) is now available on the HFI web site. The new...
Hi folks - We currently have the Cobranet I/O for the AB64 and that is quite popular with people who are looking at the future but we are also adding...
RME is the only company I know that even has any type of off the shelf MADI I/O boxes. But I don't know anyone that uses them. Just out of curiosity, why does...

... I seriously doubt that. Certainly there are recording studios that have more than 16 channels of ADAT I/O in their DAWs that talk to a recording console...
... Wordclock is of course the biggest problem and many devices have trouble keeping in sync if wc drifts too much. I'm not even really sure how well the ADAT...
I have been given a quote for an ADAT card that can plug in to the digital I/O slot of the AB64. It's not cheap but could well be worth it. Each card would ...
Well, let's put it out there and see what happens. To give us some wiggling room we could call it "preliminary pricing". ... From: "Charlie Richmond"...

I have a love-hate relationship with ADAT interfaces: far too often they cause more problems than they solve, particularly with Yamaha's implementation on...
John, The only problem I've had on occasions is with proper transmission of the word clock from one desk to another. (when locking together several small...
