dkgross Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 lordy...I dunno if I EVEN want to try this..but..has anyone tried running SoundForge from their BootCamp partition (with maybe a Duet or mBox Pro interface)??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prjkt Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 haven't tried doing that yet, but i predeict zero problems (providing iwndows is set-up correctly) as windows is running NATIVELY as if it were on a normal PC (which is what makes pretty much are these days) so anything that works well on a pc, will work on a mac with windows installed EDIT: afaicr Apogee firewire interfaces are Mac only, no Windows support, so you'll need to use your mbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 thanks.. I'm probably going to give it a shot with the mBox Pro that I have, just for fun...hahah - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prjkt Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 thanks.. I'm probably going to give it a shot with the mBox Pro that I have, just for fun...hahah - my mbox 2 pro works perfectly in XP if that's any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 yeah..I've run the mBox Pro with PTools 7.4.2 on a regular PC..just haven't tried it off a BootCamp partition on my MacBookPro yet. what the hell..might as well dive in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 just FYI...I downloaded the free 30 day SoundForge 9 trial while logged into my Boot Camp partition. NO mBox hooked up. WORKS LIKE A CHAMP!! COOOL. I can tweak what I need, bounce out WAV files, and not screw with any I/O issues!! very sweeeeeeet. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prjkt Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 glad you got it working i used to really like working with soundforge back in the day (ver 6 or 7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 me too V9 is pretty damn cool. I've got a VERY specific thing I need to do with it, and I'm really glad I don't have to hook up an external interface for it. Check out the Sony web page and see all that's changes in Sound Forge. It's really a great program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prjkt Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 wow multi-channel editing now?! that's a big deal since i last used it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraze Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Soundforge is one of the few programs that actually works at full speed with VmWare for me.. which is ridiculously helpful since i can't afford Peak. If vmware ran as good as bootcamp it'd be the end of pc's, total intergration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 yeah..I had some issues with VM Ware, and went back to BootCamp..For the few times I need to really work in the PC world, I love having a dedicated partition. Of course, now I need a BIGGER PC partition on the MacBook Pro, but I don't want to have to do the full install all over again But it's nice to have Sound Forge there when I need it.

noperator Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I decided to install Bootcamp with XP and run Sound Forge 9 on it so I wouldn't have to use my 13" laptop and I AM VERY HAPPY. Although Windows will see all 4 cores, it will only see 2GB of ram, no matter how much you have. Still, I get to edit with my Cinema display - which of course the colors look absolutely awful under windows. Still, I get to use the processing power and my M-Audio drivers for windows means that everything stays hooked up the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
