Choosing The Right
Computer Audio Hardware
The computer is the hub of today’s music creation
setup. Not only does your audio hardware have to
talk to your computer, it has to be able to interface
with both your analog and digital gear, and be
ready to accept future additions. Below are some
factors to take into consideration when looking for
an appropriate interface for your studio.
Platform and format: Should you go Mac or PC?
Personal preference rules here, since almost all interfaces
feature cross-platform operation. In some cases, features
may vary slightly between platforms. Another consideration
is whether to go with FireWire, USB, PCI, or PCMCIA.
How many inputs and outputs: This will be
determined by how many tracks you need to record at once,
how many monitor outputs you need, if you require separate
headphone outputs, and whether you plan on routing to and
from external processors.
Types of I/O: This depends on the kind of recording
you plan to do. For mics, instruments, and monitoring you’ll
need a combination of XLR and 1/4" inputs; balanced and
unbalanced. Plus, there is digital I/O to consider, such as
ADAT lightpipe, S/PDIF, and AES EBU, as well as word clock
and video synchronization.
Extended features: This could come in the form of
built-in DSP for adding effects without taxing CPU usage, a
virtual mixer to route signals for cue or surround mixes, and
standalone capabilities.

Bit-depth and sample rate: 24-bit recording is
pretty much the standard, however sample rate really
depends on the type of music you record. For audiophile
quality, 96-192kHz is required. Keep in mind that higher
sampling rates generally mean less available simultaneous
inputs and require more hard drive space.
Studio or live: There are a variety of rackmountable
interfaces to choose from for the studio, but for field use,
you’ll need portability features including a lightweight,
rugged case, easy connection to a laptop, and remote power
options such as USB/FireWire bus power or battery packs.

Sweetwater and MOTU
MINI MUSIC
Looking for a lot of power, without taking up much space? I found
that a MOTU 828mkII interface connected to a Mac mini computer
is an excellent solution! The interface
provides up to 20 ins and outs. In my
tests, I could play back up to 87 tracks
from the internal hard drive! Using an external FireWire
drive, I could get 93 tracks.
By Mitch Gallagher
We read a lot about how powerful computers
have become — and there’s no question that
today’s super machines can run rings around
those of yesteryear. In fact, with just one
computer, you can operate an entire professional
recording studio, with absolutely no limitations
(except your imagination).
At least that’s what the ads say. But what’s the
truth? Can you truly get reliable, power-ondemand performance from a native system?
How far can you take it? Can you add multiple
interfaces? How many inputs can you record at
once? How many tracks will play back? To answer
these questions, I planted myself in the studio
with Macs, MOTU Digital Performer and MOTU
interfaces, Cakewalk SONAR, and a Sweetwater
Creation Station PC.
The results on these pages speak for themselves
— native is up to the task! And there’s no more
cost-effective way to go: Start with a computer and
MOTU interface, then add more interfaces as you
need them.
I’m astounded with the power of these MOTUbased native systems. Whether on Mac or PC, a
computer and MOTU interface with your choice of
software equals a very powerful system. Watch for
my upcoming round of tests, which will focus on
the new Intel-based Macs — expect astonishing
results with them!
To build an even bigger system, plug in more interfaces (I tried the MOTU Traveler, 828mkII, and
896HD; all worked fine for me). I was able to use up to 80 inputs (four interfaces), and record to 80
tracks! Absolutely amazing performance!
ON THE GO
There are distinct advantages to going portable with your rig. I
hooked a PowerBook G4 to a MOTU Traveler interface, and started
creating massive sessions. We’re talking up to
92 tracks of playback from the PowerBook’s
internal drive.
For live recording, you often need many inputs for tracking lots of mics and direct feeds from the
stage. Could the PowerBook handle it? Yes! A second Traveler took my system to 40 inputs.
Looking for even more inputs for huge live sessions? I found that I could connect up to four Travelers
at once — and use a total of 64 inputs to 64 tracks! With four 896HD interfaces, I recorded 72 inputs
to 72 tracks...and remember, this is all using only the internal
hard drive!
STUDIO POWER
For serious studio production, you
need a power-packed rig. I set up
a dual 2.7GHz PowerMac G5, and
loaded it with RAM, an extra internal
hard drive, and more. Would it provide
the performance I routinely get with
high-dollar DSP-based systems?
No question, this rig was over the top. Start with one
896HD interface jacked into the Mac. What do you get? Try this: 18 inputs and outputs with top-ofthe-line converters. And check this out — playback of up to 146 audio tracks! Yes, 146 tracks!
If your needs grow beyond 18 inputs, start stacking on more interfaces. A second 896HD will give
you a total of 36 holes to plug into.
Need more? Connect two more 896HD interfaces: 72 inputs and outputs.
Still not enough? Stick a PCI FireWire card into a slot in the Mac. Plug another 896HD into that card
for 90 total inputs. And if that’s not enough holes, use Travelers, which provide a whopping 20 inputs
each — with five of them connected, that’s 100 inputs —100 inputs!
Still not impressed? What if I told you I could record all 100 inputs to 100 separate tracks simultaneously? I was astounded; that’s the type of performance you expect from a very expensive hardware
DSP-based system, not an off-the-shelf Mac with native software and hardware.
INTEL MAC TESTING COMING SOON!
Push the Limits
Windows Power!
Macs aren’t the only computers that provide over-the-top audio power!
Today’s PCs can handle loads of tracks and plug-ins as well. A great
example of audio-optimized computers are the Creation Station line of
Windows XP PCs we manufacture here at Sweetwater. These machines
are extremely quiet acoustically, are fine-tuned for maximum audio
power, and have a list of features that make them great for studio use.
The Setup
I sat down with a rackmount dual-core 3.2GHz Creation Station and
put it through its paces. For an interface, I selected MOTU’s cool new
UltraLite. The UltraLite is a tiny 1/2-rack FireWire interface that offers
eight analog ins and ten outs. There’s also stereo S/PDIF digital I/O, as
well as headphone outs and MIDI I/O. A built-in mixer lets you monitor
your signals without latency. If you need more inputs and outputs, you
can daisy-chain up to four UltraLites for a total of 32 ins and 40 outs. It’s
a monster interface that’s compact enough to throw into a laptop bag
— small and light enough to take anywhere — but powerful enough for a
professional studio, with stellar sound quality.
I installed Cakewalk SONAR 5 Producer Edition and Synthogy Ivory on
the Creation Station. The Producer Edition comes with many soft synths
and plug-ins, so I was set with music-creation tools. The 3.2GHz Creation
Station comes stock equipped with three hard drives installed: A system
drive, and two additional internal drives, which I dedicated to audio tracks
and software instrument libraries, respectively.
SONAR’s built-in EQ to each track. This required 19% of the total CPU
power. Adding 50 instances of the Sonitus compressor plug-in bumped
the total load to 40%. Adding a Lexicon Pantheon reverb plug-in and Ivory
playing dense chords pushed things to 46%. I instantiated the Perfect
Space convolution reverb plug-in; this took me to 54%. I added a second
instance of Ivory, but performance started to top out at this point. Pretty
impressive: 50 tracks, 200 bands of EQ, 50 compressors, two reverbs,
and Ivory! More than enough for just about any session.
Real World
Next, I set to work on a “real world” example. I created an instrumental
piece with two stereo tracks running percussion loops, one of which was
processed with chorus and delay plug-ins. I loaded up two instances
of Ivory to create an interlocking piano texture, one with the Lexicon
Pantheon reverb plug-in. Bass was courtesy of Cakewalk’s GrooveSynth
through a chorus plug-in. Strings came from Cakewalk’s Psyn II plug-in,
through a flanger and another Pantheon. CPU usage hovered around the
15% mark — the Creation Station wasn’t even working up a sweat! The
UltraLite delivered clean, crisp, beautiful audio quality during all my tests.
To sum up, running a Creation Station with SONAR and a MOTU interface
gives you a system that’s capable of tons of tracks, has plenty of power
for plug-ins and soft synths and samplers, and best of all, is easy to use,
and is nearly silent in the control room.
Making Music
With everything installed and connected, I was ready to start laying down
some music. It was no problem recording and playing 80 audio tracks at
44.1kHz/24-bit; this required 33% disk usage and just 8% CPU usage.
Next I created a song with 50 audio tracks, and added four bands of

sweetwater.com/24ioCore
The higher the quality of the A/D converter,
the better your recordings will sound. The
HD192 is designed to provide the highest
audio quality possible in a MOTU interface. Equipped with the latest generation 24-bit, 128x oversampling 192kHz
converters, the MOTU HD192 achieves a remarkable A-weighted signal-to-noise ratio of 120dB with balanced XLR
connectors throughout. Ideal for surround applications, the HD192’s 12 inputs and 12 outputs can support two
simultaneous 5.1 mixes. The HD192 is full of advanced features, like AES/EBU I/O with sample rate conversion both in
and out. The PCI-424 card included with HD192 core systems is fully compatible with the 2408mk3, 24i/o, and legacy
MOTU PCI interfaces such as the 2408mkII, 2408, 1296, 1224, and 308. Mix and match new and legacy interfaces
as you please. The PCI-424 card features Cuemix DSP, a powerful processor dedicated to creating a custom-tailored
monitor mix of up to 96 channels of audio, with the added capability of providing up to 48 separate stereo mixes in
a 96-channel system. Because the mixing takes place on the card itself instead of making the round trip from the PCI
bus to the host processor, the system provides the same near-zero latency performance as today’s latest digital mixers.
Because the DSP is mixing for you, your computer’s CPU is free for other tasks. For more I/O, connect additional
HD192io expansion interfaces for up to 48 channels of simultaneous 192kHz recording and playback. With its
incredible dynamic range and ultra-low distortion, the HD192 is simply one of the best sounding front ends you can
buy for your digital audio workstation. Also available is the HD192 Core PCIe.

PCIe (or PCI Express) architecture is the bus technology
that will likely dominate the personal computer for the
foreseeable future, and now MOTU is equipping all of
their super-popular audio interfaces with PCIe-424
cards for compatibility with PCIe-equipped computers.
PCIe, unlike older parallel technologies, offers each
device dedicated bandwidth to transfer audio data to
and from the system controller. The new PCIe-424
card can be installed in any PCI Express slot and
ensures that other PCI devices won’t “steal” bus
cycles from the audio streams. PCIe means more
bandwidth, improved high-speed data transfer, and
less inherent noise to ensure the highest quality
recording possible. We have the PCIe-equipped 2408
Core mkIII, 24io Core, and HD192 Core systems in
stock, and ready to ship!

Symphony
PCMCIA Card for RME Audio Interfaces
32-channel PCI Express Card for Macintosh
Apogee’s Symphony is more than just a PCI card, it is the key to the
Symphony System, one of the most powerful native audio
workstation available. At 32-channels of I/O per card (up to
96 channels of I/O with three cards installed), Symphony
connects Apogee’s legendary X- Series and Rosetta Series
converters to Apple’s Mac Pro. The result is perhaps the lowest
latency available in a native audio system (1.6 milliseconds at 96k)
and an incredible capacity for plug-in processing and high channel
count recording. Symphony hardware also features Apogee’s Maestro an
application that provides extensive routing and other capabilities between Mac OS
X applications and Apogee hardware. And, because Symphony was designed exclusively
for Apogee converters and Apple hardware, the environment is rock solid and allows you to make music instead of
making adjustments to your DAW. With 32 channels, the Symphony PCI Express card truly offers one

Laptops are great tools for mobile and location
recording, but some laptops aren’t equipped with the
proper ports to connect to current interfaces, which
can limit your options. In order to bring high-end
sound quality to laptops, RME has developed the
CardBus, a PCMCIA type II card that provides the
same basic performance that a PCI card would offer
a desktop computer. The CardBus is designed to
function seamlessly with RME’s Digiface and Multiface II
interfaces. Though the CardBus connects to the I/O box
via FireWire, the CardBus utilizes RME’s own proprietary
bus protocol. To top it off, it’s 100% plug and play
compatible with Windows and Mac OS. A 15-foot cable
and power supply is included.

Control Surfaces
THE SWEETWATER DIFFERENCE — EXPERIENCE IT TODAY!
ABOUT
Control Surfaces
A decade ago, nobody outside of a few cutting edge
professionals even knew what a control surface
was. Today, with computer-based multitracking an
every-day reality, a control surface is more than a
luxury — it’s almost mandatory!
Because there
are so many
amazing features
available using
computer-based
recording, it only
makes sense
to put all the
creative control
exactly where
it belongs, right at your fingertips. As anyone who
has had to scroll through countless menu layers,
cut and paste parameter values, or mouse through
a mind-numbing maze of subdirectories can tell
you, “hands on” is the only way to go. You get all the
immense power of the best cutting-edge software, but
you also get the tactile response that feels just like
you’re working with a premium mixing console.
If you’re ready to stop “mousing around,” give your
Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call. You’ll be astonished
at just how affordable a control surface can be.
Naturally, if you have a “sky’s the limit” budget, they
can also point you at the biggest, baddest hardware
controller on the planet!

But there’s just something about the feel of a fader beneath your finger. Drawing automation is fine, but a physical fader can
give you the tools to quickly and easily perform smooth fades that can often be clunky or time consuming to create with
drawn automation. That’s where PreSonus’ FaderPort comes in. Compatible with virtually every DAW on the market today,
the FaderPort can control a number of functions from its intuitive interface, offering mouse-free music creation and audio
manipulation. A single, smooth, motorized long-throw fader allows the user to perform perfect fades and easily write either single
channel or group automation. Buttons on the interface offer control over record transport, as well as pan, mute, solo, record
enable, and quick window selection (edit, mix, transport). If you like the feel of a traditional console fader under your finger, but
don’t have the room for a full-on control surface, the FaderPort is for you. The included footswitch makes punching in and out a
snap. The FaderPort is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers.

Kore
Universal Sound Management
As anyone who has done orchestral MIDI sequences
(or any large-scale MIDI production) knows, wading
through gigs and gigs of samples over multiple audio
instruments to create a viable orchestra is daunting
to say the least. Nobody understands that better than
Native Instruments — and they’ve done something
about it. Enter Kore, a USB universal sound platform
that combines a hardware controller and software to
bring peace and unity to your soft synths and plug-ins.
Starting with the task of sound search; with Kore,
sounds can be selected by instrument, type, timbre,
articulation, and genre. So, for example, if you’re
looking for a violin with a sharp attack and a warm
sustain, you can combine the categories of instrument,
timbre, and articulation to narrow the search. Plus, you can also search according to comments saved with a sound.
The results list displays the appropriate sounds immediately. Double-clicking opens the sound and makes it instantly
playable and editable via the controller.
Kore software can open in your DAW as a mega VST, AU, or RTAS plug-in, combining any AU and VST soft synths
and effects plug-ins into one convenient interface, with the ability to search, audition, and edit sounds — all with
hands-on control! Speaking of hands-on, Kore hardware makes plug-in parameter assignments a snap. Simply activate
“Assign,” click on the parameter you need, then touch the control you wish to assign it to — that’s it. You can use
the Kore controller to switch channels; skip through controller pages; browse through your sounds, performances,
performance presets, plug-ins, or MIDI files, and adjust settings. A truly innovative function of Kore is the ability
to run VST and AU plug-ins in Pro Tools, VST in Digital Performer, etc, for an amazing degree of inter-application
flexibility. Kore also sports an integrated, high-end audio interface, making it truly an all-in-one solution, and the
ideal companion to NI’s Komplete 4. Additionally, Kore can transfer sounds and complex instrument set-ups between
different songs, sequencers, and systems. Convenient? Yes. But also, a great way to maintain timbral consistency from
song to song within a large project. That ability also makes Kore a great asset for live performance; you can easily
recall playlists, layers, and splits on stage to recreate your studio recordings in a live situation. If you’re
looking for the ultimate fusion of software and hardware,

192kHz Master Word Clock
ne at
Big Ben
dia o
me nli
sw
Digital recording relies on incredibly accurate
clocks to make sure samples are recorded at the
proper time and rate. When
multiple digital devices are
involved, such as AD/DA
converters, a DAW, or digital
processors, all of those
clocks must be locked, or
synched, together. But, if you
have a number of outboard
digital devices, each with
its own clock (accuracy
notwithstanding) and not
necessarily the same inputs
and outputs, how do you
maintain signal integrity
and avoid that sync’ing
feeling? The basic principle
when synchronizing multiple devices is that you
have one master clock that sends sync data to all
the other devices. A continuous clock signal from
the master will make sure the slave devices stay in
sync. Usually these devices have other features for
working with video and other types of gear as well.
A synchronizer is the heart of your studio!
“If you want better audio quality for your studio, before you upgrade
your audio interface or digital recorder, get a BIG BEN. I always say
to my customers ‘If you don’t think it improves your sound by $1350
worth, then send it back.’ Never has anybody sent it back!”
In digital recording, jitter caused by inferior

clock signals is the enemy. The lower the jitter,
WHAT’S THE C777?
sweetwater.com/BigBen
the better your sound, resulting in less ear fatigue, increased clarity, improved highfrequency response, and clearer imaging. Big Ben, Apogee’s 192kHz Master Word Clock,
brings amazing clarity and quality to your audio. We use Big Ben in our own Sweetwater Studios.
Apogee’s C777 clock utilizes the most advanced Direct Digital Synthesis technology available along with DSP-based
digital filtering. The result is the most aggressive jitter reduction ever. Big Ben can re-clock devices with excessive jitter
and function as your master clock. It also gives you the option of real-time format conversion from S/PDIF to AES to
ADAT, and so on.
In a complex multi-unit digital audio chain, word clock signals are often improperly terminated, which results in more
jitter. Big Ben’s termination sensing function chimes in with a visual indication for each word clock output, allowing
you to troubleshoot quickly. The X-Video expansion card allows it to function as a master video sync generator.

Pro Tools Sync with Low-jitter Clock
Ultra-low Jitter Studio Master Clock with Word Clock Distribution
Whatever kind of Pro Tools system you have, you can use Digidesign’s SYNC I/O
to make sure that digital connections between it and your other gear are solid and
jitter-free. SYNC I/O can lock Pro Tools to just about any known type of clock signal,
including word clock, and Digidesign’s Super Clock for incorporating legacy Pro Tools
systems. Digidesign also developed Loop Sync, a self-monitoring clocking system
with greater accuracy, to handle the higher number of audio streams in Pro Tools|HD
systems. SYNC I/O’s low-jitter clock provides maximum audio fidelity, even when locked
to varying external timing sources.
Known for their no-compromise digital conversion, Lucid’s new and surprisingly
affordable, ultra-low jitter GENx192 Master Clock can give your present system a
serious boost in audio performance. Able to convert any input frequency between
28kHz-216kHz, it uses Lucid’s state-of-the–art JIF™ (Jitter Input Filtering) technology to
output a clean, jitter-free signal. If the input signal goes away, it will simply switch to its
internal oscillator and generate a rock-solid clock — dropouts are not a problem! The
GENx192 is able to output two different clock rates simultaneously (internal oscillator
or external sync source), and can synchronize up to 14 digital devices at once.

Much like potato
chips, the basic rule
of synthesizers and
music gear is that
nobody can have just
one. Even if you plan
on having only one
dedicated sampler
such as GigaStudio, MachFive, or Kontakt, in order
to take full advantage of their 64-channel capability,
you’ll need a MIDI interface with at least four
separate inputs. Maybe you’d like to add a control
surface for mixing and handling plug-ins on your
sequencer. Perhaps you already have, or would like
to add the sounds of some of the amazing hardware
synths by Roland or Dave Smith Instruments (two of
the founders of MIDI), or control MMC-equipped
tape transports or video decks. A MIDI interface
will allow your studio and sonic palette to grow
without tapping CPU resources. Sweetwater carries a

and easy to use today’s MIDI interfaces have
become. It includes ten MIDI inputs and
outputs for a total of 160 channels, and it
can even be interconnected to three additional
interfaces for a total of 40 ports and 640 MIDI channels! The MIDI I/O connects to your computer via USB and can run on USB bus power, so no additional AC connection is
needed. With support for MIDI Time Stamping, it ensures superb accuracy when connected to your audio and MIDI sequencing software. For convenience in the studio, ports 9 and
10 are mirrored on the front panel so you can quickly plug in an extra piece of gear.
In standalone mode the MIDI I/O is just as effective at controlling your onstage setup as it is in the studio.

a clean desktop studio without
MIDI-spaghetti, then a WIDI-X8
wireless MIDI interface from CME is in
your future. The WIDI-X8 can transmit 64
MIDI channels at a distance of up to 260
feet, which makes it perfect for running a

Studio pros can tell you from experience that your
audio is only as good as the weakest link in your
signal chain, be that your microphone, your recorder,
or your signal processor. When you’re recording to
digital, you’re taking electrical impulses and turning
them into a nearly
infinite series of ones
and zeros. Today’s
A/D and D/A converters do a remarkable
job for the money.
But when you need
the absolute best
audio for your next project — when “good enough”
just isn’t — a premium digital converter is the way
to go.
While there are lots of ways today to “fix it in the
mix,” there’s no way you can put back critical
information that simply wasn’t accurately captured
right from the start. To capture all the precious
nuances of your finest performances, a pro-quality
converter is a smart investment.
2-channel 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA Converter
“The accuracy and transparency of the Rosetta
200 is amazing. It really let me hear my mix and
make better judgments. The Soft Limit section is
great for tracking as well. Apogee converters are
legendary, and this is one of their best!”

About Pro Audio Computers
As the heart of your studio and keeper of your creativity, your audio computer must not only be up to the task,
but able to work for you well into the future. Having been at the forefront of computer-based recording since its inception, as well as providing unparalleled service and
support to both hobbyist and audio professional alike, Sweetwater is committed to providing computers pre-selected with the musician/engineer’s needs in mind.
Mac Pro
Apple’s Mac Pro is the super desktop computer that both
audio professionals and talented amateurs alike have
been waiting...no, begging for. As DAW programs and
plug-ins necessary to our lifeblood become more and
more processor- and RAM-intensive, Apple comes to the
rescue with the Mac Pro, an Intel Xeon-based dual-core
mega-processor that will handle your biggest audio chores
in its sleep. The 64-bit Intel Xeon “Woodcrest” processor
makes the Mac Pro one of the fastest desktop computers on
the planet. With speeds up to two times faster than a than
previous models, it’ll be a long, long time before you hear
the word “upgrade” spoken around your Apple Mac Pro.
The brilliantly redesigned Mac Pro enclosure
accommodates up to four drives with up to 2TB (yes, that’s
terabytes)of storage and offers eight DIMM slots to fill with
up to 16GB of RAM. It also provides room for up to two
SuperDrives. Ready to build that world-class Pro Tools|HD3
Accel studio? The Mac Pro gives you four PCI Express slots (and more I/O ports including two additional ports up front), so
along with audio DSP and video cards, you can also connect Mac Pro to Xserve RAID and an Xsan network. Record a trio in
the main studio — and later in the day you can work in a smaller room that has the same power and capabilities. Looking
for workstation graphics? Three stellar graphics card options lets you choose the card that meets your specific needs. Every
one lets you connect up to two displays so you can see full mix and edit windows simultaneously. There are over four million
possible configurations available for the Mac Pro. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer to help build your dream machine.
Cinema Display
The Apple Cinema Display® gives you the chance to spread
your on-screen work layout across the widescreen monitor so
you can see everything at once. There will be no more bouncing
from one window to another. Just leave all the windows you
need to see open and position them where they’re convenient to
streamline your workflow. Imagine how cool it would be to be able to see the Edit and Mix windows on your favorite DAW
simultaneously. All the Cinema Displays (available in 30", 23", and 20" models) are equipped with two USB ports and two
FireWire 400 ports for connecting peripheral devices without occupying the ports on your computer. The Cinema Displays
have extremely narrow bezels designed to enable you to use multiple displays together effortlessly.
Mac Mini
At an astounding 6.5" square and 2" tall,
Apple’s new Mac mini packs a lot of features
into a very small package. With performance
that’s up to four times faster than previous
models, the Mac mini Intel Core Duo has all
the connections you need: four USB ports,
one FireWire 400 port, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Since the Mac mini doesn’t ship with a mouse,
keyboard, or monitor, it’s highly affordable
and perfect for use in a composer’s suite as
an Apple Logic Pro node (page 188 for tons
of extra processing power; as a dedicated
Kontakt 2 (page 222 sampler/sample player
and considering how affordable they are, you
can also create an end-of-the-world dedicated
drum machine with BFD (page 237). The Core
Duo-equipped Mac mini can be configured
with either a slot-loading Combo Drive (DVDROM/CD-RW), which comes standard, or a
SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW). All Mac minis
are equipped with AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi cards.
Protect your Apple
iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
Apple’s iMac® is perfect for people who want to streamline their setup without sacrificing performance. The monitor houses
all the inner-workings of the computer (except for the keyboard and mouse), so if you’re working on a desktop surface or
console, you’ll have all the functionality you need without a processor tower under foot. The fastest iMac ever, it features the
new 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo processor that delivers a up to 50% performance boost, which means even more tracks and
virtual instruments — no more bouncing and sub-mixing! With the built-in iSight camera included on all iMacs, you can
collaborate with musicians anywhere, from across the country to the next room. Apple also includes a Mighty Mouse with
every iMac, which makes scrolling through orchestral score and other edit windows a breeze.
Apple computers are built to last, but you can
add to your peace of mind and save money
by enrolling in AppleCare®, the extended
warranty program. AppleCare extends
protection of your computer to three full years
of certified Apple service and genuine Apple
replacement parts. Apple Cinema Displays
purchased with a Power Mac are covered,
too. AppleCare’s on-site service for desktop
computers and global coverage for portable
models ensures you won’t have to worry
about shipping or unnecessary downtime.
AppleCare also extends Apple’s free telephone
tech support from 90 days to three years. Call

Wireless keyboard for Apple Mac
How would you like a guaranteed
compatible remote controller for whatever
DAW software you have have on your
Mac? All it takes is an Apple Wireless
Keyboard! Just by using the shortcut key-commands for your
recording software on the Wireless Keyboard, you can record and
play back from up to 30 feet away. It features 16-function keys, full
numeric keypad, document navigation keys, and an inverted-T for
quickly zipping up, down, and sideways in a game or a spreadsheet.
Conveniently located audio controls and the ability to eject optical
media are also included. The Wireless Keyboard comes standard with four premium
Energizer E2 Titanium AA batteries. An advanced power management system
automatically switches to low power modes during periods of inactivity, making sure
you get the most from your batteries. An off switch allows you to conserve more power
when you know you’re going to be away from your system for an extended period.

endless track count in an amazingly quiet PC?
The Creation Station Rack Dual 3.4
features an Intel Pentium dual-core processor
that blows other PCs out of the water! From
powering a Pro Tools|HD system to composing massive orchestral scores with GigaStudio,
this PC will handle everything you throw at it.
The Creation Station Rack Dual 3.0
— one of our newest audio marvels, features
an Intel Pentium dual-core processor. It
far exceeds “off the shelf” expectations
and makes more expensive (and noisier)
computers very uncomfortable. The Dual 3.0
fits nicely into a native DAW system, music
creation suite, or video-editing facility.

Storage & Backup 750GB Tabletop FireWire Hard Drive
It’s impossible to place
a dollar value on a
once-in-a-lifetime
performance. Anyone
who has ever picked up
a musical instrument
and found themselves
“in the zone” can tell you that such moments are
rare. So why trust that magic to a bargain basement
hard drive? If you’ve ever lost precious data to a
hard disk crash, you know how terrible it can feel,
especially if it’s something that came to you out of a
moment of pure inspiration.
Here at Sweetwater, we equip all our studios with the
best, most dependable digital storage media we can
get our hands on, because it’s the kind of peace-ofmind you can’t possibly measure. That’s why we stock
and recommend only the highest quality digital media
to our customers. You just have to ask yourself one
simple question: Exactly how much is your personal
project or musical performance worth?

The GT 205 DVD is a double-space 5-bay GT 103
FireWire enclosure specifically designed
for applications requiring multiple drives.
It can be configured with four GT Key
hot-swappable drives in any available
capacities, and its SCSI/FireWire
expansion bay offers the option of AIT
backup, a SCSI or FireWire hot-swap
GT 205
receiving bay, DVD-R/RW, or CD-R/RW.
The hot-swap drives in the GT 205 can
be interchanged with the GT 051 tabletop and the
GT 103 3-bay 1U enclosures. The GT 205 comes standard
with a 3-year warranty, while GT Keys carry an additional
overnight advance replacement warranty in the first year.
The GT 103 also has a front-panel FW400 convenience port.
The GT Keys are the heart of the GT series, working
seamlessly with the GT 051, GT 103, and GT 205 chassis.
The GT Key drives are available in sizes ranging from 160GB
— which is plenty big for most small-to medium-sized
studios — to 750GB for video production work. The ability
to easily transport these drives makes them great for taking
projects on the road or across town to another facility.
The Key drives are qualified for use with most major
DAW applications. With the GT series, Glyph takes what
was already a convenient and reliable storage solution,
and revolutionizes it with easy backup capabilities and
hot-swapping for nearly endless storage options.

THE GLYPH GT SERIES.
FIREWIRE 800 AND SATA
ONLY MAKE IT BETTER.
The FireWire 400 GT Series is known in studios worldwide as the standard for hot-swappable, high-performance storage for audio production. Why improve on a good thing? New FireWire 800 versions of the
GT Key, GT 051, GT 103, and GT 205 include everything you’ve come to expect in the GT Series, but are
updated to use Oxford’s new 924 chip which bridges the faster FW800 bus to the latest Seagate SATA
drive mechanisms, featuring Native Command Queuing (NCQ). An algorithm that cuts down on extra arm
motion, NCQ dynamically reschedules and reorders commands so the heads travel less over the platters
of the drive.
In an audio environment, this boils down to more tracks per drive, more edits per track, less spreading
tracks across multiple drives, and fewer headaches trying to reassemble sessions from multiple drives.
Using the time-tested Integrity hot-swap interface, Glyph’s FW400 and FW800 GT Series drives and enclosures are cross-compatible, which means upgrading to FW800 can be seamless.
You’ll find Glyph drives in the studios at Sweetwater, in your Sales Engineer’s home
studio, and in the studios of tens of thousands of Sweetwater customers. Here’s Why:

Choosing The Right
software
Software
Having the right software for your studio means
the difference between being able to establish a
workflow that allows your creativity to flourish, or
spending an inordinate amount of time getting your
ideas across via a user interface that just doesn’t
operate the way you want it to. Beyond the user
interface, look for the strengths of the program to
line up with what you want to do. Here are some
sample questions and answers to help you start
your search.
What platform will you be using? Should you go
Mac or PC? Aside from personal preference, in some cases
the software itself will make the choice for you. However,
many musicians and engineers are finding that they want
both platforms in their studios.
Are you into loop-based composition? A
program that deals with Acid and REX files well, has loop
creation features, and can time-stretch/-compress audio
transparently is a must-have!
Are you big on processing? Look for a wide range
of available plug-ins — both that ship with the application
and optional third-party plug-ins.
Do you work with a lot of soft synths? Check
that the format of the virtual instrument plug-ins you want
to use is supported, and that there is plenty of MIDI and CPU
power available.
Are you interested in mastering? Make sure that
the right processing is provided or available as plug-ins.
Do you need to record a lot of tracks at
once? Look for compatibility with multi-I/O interfaces and
a clear user interface that resembles the way a studio works.
Do you need to see and use musical
notation? Some DAWs have it, some don’t — be sure
to check first. It’s a good idea to compile your list of musthave features as well as a wish list of things you’d like to
have in your DAW. Keep in mind that you can also combine
some packages together via ReWire or by running them on
dedicated computers and patching them into each other.
This can often give you the best of both worlds.
