thanks, for the detailed reply. I gonna c if I can get a cheaap pc from somewhere... If the echoplex runs using mostly ram then the hard disk speed of the computer wouldn't be important would it? I am thinking about pc laptops as they often have v.slow hard drives so thought I'd check. so a pc with 1ghz processor, intel or amd does it make a difference... how much ram approx? I am just trying to get an idea of the basic system I would need to use this.... and have no idea about PCs anymore as i use an ibook and G5 apple. Anything I should definetly avoid compatibility wise for the software..? I have soundcards coming out of my ears and obviously monitor etc. so just need to guess at a bass unit that would run it.. Any guidance by any PC heads using this wonderfull software appreciated and keep posting how you are finding it please... As i am intrigued Could be time to break 5 years of mac use! geoff On 16 Feb 2005, at 16:59, Jeff Larson wrote: > geoff smith wrote: >> Just out of curiouisity (I have two macs no pc so can't test software) >> Have you been able to code the insert functions of the edp? > > Yes, with a few exceptions.
