| well i bought parallels and a cheap copy of windows XP home version off ebay (avoiding giving microsoft $ as much as possible). i can report that everything basically works fine.
the only issue i have is that cubase and other programs need an ASIO multimedia driver, which i grabbed from asio4all.com. without this driver, cubase would deliver no sound. periodically, usually if i hide parallels, i will get a message that ASIO driver has "lost connection to the soundcard". this is quickly fixed by going to preferences and hitting RESET on the ASIO driver.
other than that, my only complaint is that the programs aren't loud enough coming out of the headphone jack (i'm just doing simple editing on the go, so i'm not using an external D/A converter and amp). |
