MacPinball | May 4 2009 |
DARTH BROOKS This is the first time I've played MacPinball and, although it's not as horrid as previous reviews suggest, I would never pay ten bucks for it. After "Game Over", at least one can keep playing by clicking "Game".

NetBarrier X5 | Feb 14 2008 |
DARTH BROOKS Ignore the comments and rating, below, by MAC ATA, he obviously doesn't know how to use this software much less uninstall it. Once NetBarrier is configured -- admittedly a bit tricky at first especially if you're on a network and do port forwarding -- it stands guard like a silent pit bull that never sleeps. And no, NetBarrier X4 does not disable the built-in Mac OS 10.4 Tiger firewall; they can peacefully coexist.

DARTH BROOKS EEK! I've seen only only one of these under an early version of Tiger; Panther several. Very realistic, lots of fun, put this in someone's StartupItems. Wait, did I say that?

Play | Oct 15 2007 |
DARTH BROOKS Working OK here on 10.4.10 PPC, although I haven't explored features beyond bacis play functions. Thanks, Stephen F. Booth. However, according to the README, Play "supports DSP effects using Audio Units." I've searched all the menus and can't find anything to support this.

DARTH BROOKS Installed the new M-Audio FireWire 410 1.8.2 drivers, updated the system to Mac OS X 10.4.9 PPC, and everything is working as it should on this G5 Dual 2.3.

DARTH BROOKS The 1.8.1 drivers are working flawlessly on my G5 Dual 2.3 under MacOS 10.4.8. The reviewer below does not specify whether his Mac is PPC or Intel so I can only assume there are problems with the latter.

DARTH BROOKS M-Audio, it's now nearly three months since Mac OS X 10.4.7 was released -- and no driver updates. I'm beginning to see why some of your customers are angry.

TIMLENERTZ Thanks for your review! You may be able to fix these problems by updating to Mac OS X 10.4.7 (it seems fix some CoreAudio bugs of this kind), and by activating the options "Use two AUTimePitch components" and "Avoid AUTimePitch bug" which can be found in the advanced settings of the preferences.

mp3Player | Jun 27 2006 |
DARTH BROOKS Thank you for pointing out, WHOCARES742, the freeware-to-shareware switcheroo. And yet mp3Player 1.2.1 is still listed here at MacUpdate as "License: FREE". What's up, AsramSoftware? Listen carefully and you can hear mp3Player 1.2.1 hitting the trash.

ISHAN3 $15 is two fine fast food meals. For that, this app is really useful when making presentations on a large screen-to highlight certain topics, etc. It's also a lot of fun. The interface is a bit different as well. For the price of a couple of Big Mac meals at McDonald's, I bought this app.

DARTH BROOKS Most flagrant bug is that the Equalizer keeps reappearing whenever a new album is dropped on the well. The Equalizer doubles... DOUBLES... CPU usage. Also, it would be nice to be able to re-size the main window horizontally to accomodate long song and album names.

M-Audio FireWire 410 | Apr 17 2006 |
DARTH BROOKS Frankly, I don't know why all the negative reviews. What's the problem? I've owned the FireWire 410 for two and a half years and it's been a joy. I've run it in 10.3.9 on a 933 G4 and currently in 10.4.5 on a Dual 2.3 G5. I use MIDI from a keyboard controller, analog IN from a guitar, mostly listen through headphones but occasionally send the signal line OUT to external powered speakers. On one early occasion launching Logic Express 7 resulted in a kernel panic, but then I was using the wrong drivers. The 410 is built rock solid and the feel of the controls is superb. And although it's not my DAW, I'm happy to see that Pro Tools can now be run on M-Audio hardware.

BILL83 There is still a "lite" version of the program that is free and it has more functionality than earlier free versions. The "for pay" version has significant new functionality but I agree it may not be worth $29 to everyone. Serious amateur astronomers should appreciate it though. As for beauty, what changes from the past version do you regard as a step backwards?

DARTH BROOKS Very retro, very cool -- just like flipping through a stack of jewel cases. Five stars coz it's fun and free. But wait, "This version will expire on April 30 2006." Uh-oh, sounds like the dev is gonna charge money for this after we do the beta testing. Five stars until the price goes up.
