Samplitude and Sequoia work with Boot Camp

Just did some tests yesterday and it all seems to work flawlessly...

It was rather simple to do as well...took about an hour to do all the installs.


Only a few devices didn't have drivers...but these were only the back lit keyboard and the onboard web cam...nothing detrimental.

Hi Tom, could you provide some details on your testing - latency - # of tracks - interface used?

Thanks,
Dave

Yes, it doesn't know the difference because the Macintel is a PC.

I'm seeing almost identical DSP usage performance between my Desktop Pentium D 950 Dual 3.4GHz and my MacBook Pro Core Duo 2.0 on Samplitude Professional V8.31 during mixing sessions.

Have you done any tracking in Samplitude with the MacBook Pro?

No, I haven't tracked on it. I have only done a couple of mixing/editing jobs on it. After finishing, I transfered the sessions over to my Pentium D 950 machines and noticed the CPU usage was about the same on both machines for those sessions.

One thing you would need is to remap the keyboard. The delete key on Macs are the equivalent of Backspace on PCs. Samplitude require the regular del key. Also, a few things don't work on the Windows side, such as screen saver, iSight Camera, keyboard backlight. Other than that, it's like having a PC laptop.

Bootcamp on a Apple running XP is basically like running Windows on a Dell or any "pc" once it boots up.. so yeah everything works the same. All DAWs and plugins will work no different.

If you have an airport built in, turn it off when doing audio, there is also a video driver "exellance" or something like that to disable, then everything works beautifully.

Otherwise audio devices can drop out.
