I'll put a picture up when everything has arrived but it'll probably be a couple of months before the group buy pres get here.

I don't know. But it does look like it comes with butterface.
I don't know. From the angle it was taken at it's hard to tell but if I had to guess, I'd guess she's pretty cute.
You can see more "cats and racks" here!
BTW, I racked my new M1 today. She's very purdy.

Ugh! What an f'n disaster! I've never had a serious problem with my Mac G4/Digi 001 setup.... until now. A few days ago, after about 5 hours of track editing, the G4 gives me an error message that says it can't go to sleep because it's missing some system software. WTF??? I have my preferences set so the computer NEVER goes to sleep.
Then later that day, I go to play back a midi bass track but instead of bass it's giving me a drum/piano combination.
The next day, I power up as usual and I'm getting no sound out of the monitors. I can see levels in protools but I'm getting zero sound into the mixer. Fuck me. So I start trying to troubleshoot the problem. I plugged headphones into the mixer... nothing. Then I plugged the headphones into the 001 and I can hear music ...but it's literally playing at about 1/20th the speed it should be (and no, I didn't have protools set to play halfspeed).
Because I'd previously decided to upgrade my system in a 3-4 months, I don't want to put any money into the G4. Nothing else to do but upgrade ahead of schedule. So here's how I spent $7000 today...
*Mac Pro 2.8GHz, 6 mb ram, 320gb and 750gb internal drives, 500gb external glyph drive
*Digi 003 rack
*Universal Audio UAD-1e Expert Pak plugins
*Digidesign Music Production Toolkit
*Native Instruments Komplete 5 softsynth bundle
*Autotune 5
*Toast 9
*iLok
*Raxxess ER20
I'm not sure if I should smile or cry.

You should smile over the fact that you had a spare 7K sitting around to do that kind of thing. And that you now have new stuff to play with.

Man, I wish I had 7K laying around. I'm borrowing the money from my 403b fund until the money that's coming to me in a couple of months materializes (that's the money I was going to use to upgrade). l'm doing it this way because I don't lose anything. Any interest I have to pay goes back into my account. I figure if I have to pay interest, I may as well be paying it to myself, right?
I'm toying with the idea of adding a Rosetta 200 to the list but I'm not sure if I really need to as I'm not sure how much of a difference there is in the AD/DA of the 003 compared to the 001.

If the deal isn't closed on the plugins, Barry Johns over on GS has a heck of a deal on a UAD PCIe card with lots of plugs.

I bought a Duet from him about 2 months ago and it was an easy straight up deal.

Thanks for the tip.
I checked it out and about half the plugs he has are plugs I don't want, so I'd have to lay out more cash to get the missing magic. The nice thing about the UAD bundles is they give you a basic set of plugs and a voucher so you can fill out the lineup how you like. The bundle I'm getting gives me 5 plugs and a voucher for $750 to use at their store.
