Fuck, it sucks when you have to do panning in protools because the mbox(s) i have dont pick up stereo, they have two mono inputs, and the dmg does not hmm
nor do any of my other instruments besides my Kaossilator

I don't know if the mbox works. My friends who had blue&whites had an internal protools card.

Or you could actually boot into X so that you have more freedom over what programs are running.

I only suggest Arch (or Linux in general) because it's barebones and relatively easy to set up. With 450MHz, you really want to cut down on unnecessary programs.

EDIT: I see that The Silph Scope also suggested Linux. Not sure how I missed that before.

Even though the machine was a G3 the prior owner upgraded it to G4 700hz so I'm pretty happy
And do you mean a protools sound card?
I have a spare Mbox 2
I guess I will have to find a torrent for protools 7 or 6 LE

OS9 is a very unstable, inconvenient operating system.

I had a G3 with OSX Panther until last year and it run beautifully. Mind you, that G3 was 700Mhz (an iBook), so Panther might be a bit sluggish on yours but you can at least try Jaguar. Depends on what you want to do with it. How does Tiger run in it? I didn't even know it could run on a G3.

Why would you put OS9?

450Mhz won't let you go too far with VSTs and the like, specially on OSX

Answered your own question! tongue

Seriously though, the main reason I suggested it was because I was under the impression OS9 was the standard for G3 machines. Didn't even think you could run OSX on them, although I guess I've crammed XP into even older machines, heh.

The Powermac G3 Blue & White is a nice machine, probably my favorite Powermac ever. It's great if you have a Protools card, for use with Protools.

Tiger seems overkill, I would downgrade to Panther and then install Goat Tracker, Fast Tracker 2... there's a bunch of stuff...
450Mhz won't let you go too far with VSTs and the like, specially on OSX, but everything else should run OK.
And I think you can have classic on Panther and ruin OS9 games if you are so inclined. you will need OS9 though.

I would put os9 on it if I had restor discs or something,
I was just thinking about putting protools on it and a tracker,
Maybe an old version of cubase!

That site has a lot of tips on how to get an OS9 setup working and although they recommend G4 machines for better performance I don't think there's anything stopping you from getting decent functionality out of a G3.

http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/p … 50_bl.html
Someone on Craigslist was throwing it away do I thought I'd give it a new home!
I really want to run cubase on it!
Anyways if someone could give me a list of DAWS and trackers that will run on the damn thing along with what version of the daws and trackers will run on it that'd be cool!

nitro2k01: Unvague'd the title a little.
