That microphone looks absolutely gorgeous.

I’d love to see more of your studio setup and workflow. I love MacBites but the live stuff you do is amazing even if I had the setup I’d never have the nerve! I could never hope to be as professional as you but I can dream, right?

Good luck with the new projects, I hope us MacBiters get to share in some of them? *fingers crossed *

I’ve given up evangelizing about the wonders of the Mac platform to Windows users … there’s none so blind as those who refuse point blank to see any alternative

Thanks for this, I phoned up to be switched the other day and my 3g wasn’t working. Changed the settings to what you said and now it’s fine.

Good article Elaine. I still love getting on the train getting out the MacBook Pro and smiling at those running alternative systems as they wait for them to start up, while I am busy surfing the web. I have been known to take one of my ear buds out, which are plugged into my iPhone, and say “…they used to be that slow when I used them, no better aye?”

As mentioned before, I am certain this is due to the use of the autorelease mechanism for releasing memory back to the OS. With a program which is obviously designed to process large images, which take up large system resources, i.e. memory, it is paramount that such memory be released back as soon as possible. I suspect the programmers have been very lax by retaining memory for longer than is required, i.e. leaving it to the autorelease instead of doing it themselves.

Blast, well in my defence it has been a long time, and I am now restricting to myself to only check the site hourly.

I’m sorry to hear it didn’t go well. I have been holding off on buying Aperture as I didn’t think I needed it and by the time I did people were already talking about V3, so it’ a huge disappointment. I hope Apple listen’s as you have said and addresses the issues quickly.
