RE: Mac as memory player

Posted by endust4237 on December 14, 2008 at 06:17:35:
The pro audio editor, Wavelab uploads the track you opened to the RAM for editing, it has a very good playback quality for sure, plays from RAM, but not as convenient as iTunes.

If you want a kind of memory playback, try to boot the Mac from a pendrive, I have an 8 GB stick for this purpose, then unmount the internal hard drive and play from an iTunes server through a Gigabit network form another room. I have a system like this and works wonderfully well.

My server is a MacPro with some 6 TB storage, some of it RAID protected, other mirrored, and a Macbooks plays through a Konnekt 8 (as a Firewire - SPDIF converter) to an Altmann, Lavry or Mytek DAC.
