Cakewalk’s Bob D explains multi-core technologies with SONAR
Being both a musician/studio engineer and a developer for the music software company, Cakewalk, I am in the unique position of seeing both the technical side of how computer processing and code works, and the real-world experience that they provide in the act of making music. In this article, I’ll focus on what multi-core technologies mean to you as a musician so that you can make the best decision in upgrading your studio with a new PC.
One of our goals in developing SONAR has been to allow you to take advantage of the full power of your PC. We envisioned a studio environment with no limits, allowing you to lift your productions to new heights. That’s why we placed no limits on the number of tracks you could record, plug-ins you could patch, and busses you could mix with. And we also built SONAR to be future-proofed for new technologies like multiple cores, multiple processors, and 64-bit computing. We figured a hardware-imposed limit would be better than a software-imposed one. It seemed logical to us that if you upgraded your system, your capabilities in SONAR should expand accordingly. So, let’s dig in…
Best things to do in San Francisco
There’s a lot more to San Francisco than you’ll find in most tourist guides. To help Macworld 2007 visitors see the “other” San Francisco, we need you to help us build…THE BEST LIVE, INTERACTIVE UNDERGROUND MAP of “Baghdad by the Bay.”
Help us help visitors to Macworld 2007 discover the other, less-visited side of the city. The cooler, the more obscure—the better! Mindjet will be introducing MindManager 6 Mac at Macworld for the first time. We want to celebrate the event by sharing a very special map with Macworld visitors. We’ve just started to build a list of not-normal things to do in San Francisco (also Mindjet’s home!). Help us complete the map before the show, so we can a hidden San Francisco with Macworld attendees. You might even win something for your altruism.
It’s simple: just use MindManager [either on your PC or your Mac] to brainstorm your most creative, “off the beaten path” SF tour-guide tips and send them to: gaelen.oconnell@mindjet.com. Then watch the map grow everyday on the Mindjet Blog as we collaboratively build the map.

When I received an invitation to attend a release party in Second Life, I really didn’t know what to expect. I had heard about Second Life – with nearly 2 million residents in the virtual world, and an economy that can be calculated to real-world dollars, companies are starting to have meetings “inworld”. But why?
After a pretty simple setup (creating an avatar and walking through a painless orientation – a la video game “click this to do this”), I was a day early for the meeting, so I walked around the virtual world. It was immediately obvious that this is the perfect place for e frontier to have their announcement of Poser 7.

The Fast Track Pro is a USB-based MIDI interface for connecting microphones, instruments, and MIDI devices. It’s a well-thought-out, mobile product that offers more than its low price might suggest.
Fast Track Pro review from MacAddict
The release of FileMaker Pro 7.0 in 2004 was a major event – the flagship database application was totally rewritten and endowed with many new capabilities, all without sacrificing usability. Two years later, FileMaker Pro is still settling into its new format. Version 8.5 doesn’t lavish us with many new features, but professional FileMaker developers will appreciate the new ability to name layout objects. Existing users with Intel Macs will find this upgrade irresistible, while those still in the PowerPC camp may be somewhat less compelled…

Photoshop CS3 beta versus CS2 on High End Macs
We wanted to know if the Universal Binary Photoshop CS3 Beta would “supercharge” the Mac Pro 3GHz (Quad). And we wanted to know if it provides any improvement to the Quad-Core G5 Power Mac 2.5GHz.
Rob Galbraith DPI: The Photoshop CS3 beta by the numbers
Is the Photoshop CS3 beta a lot faster than Photoshop CS2 on an Intel Mac? You bet. Here’s a look at the performance difference owners of Macs with Intel processors can expect, thanks to the fact the Mac version of Photoshop CS3 is a Universal Binary designed to deliver native speed whether it’s PowerPC or Intel under the hood.
