For running DX only plugins within a VST only host (such as Cubase4), there's a slick freeware DX-VST shell utility that can be downloaded here:

It lets you wrap the DX plug so that it loads as a VST. Might be worth checking out.

Thanks for another interesting show.

I want to make a clarification about Carbon Copy Cloner and the upgrade from PPC to Intel. CCC is a great program but it cannot be used to clone a boot disc from a PPC Mac to be used on an Intel Mac. From the web site: "Until Apple provides a Universal OS that is capable of booting both architectures, do not clone a PowerPC Mac to an Intel Mac or vice versa."

I just switched from a G5 iMac (and a decapitated 667 (666?) G4 Powerbook) to an MB. I have had to reauthorize some programs after using Migration Assistant, but I've experienced the same thing using CCC. Some software seems to check the CPU and/or the HD as a part of copy protection, so reauthorization may be unavoidable. Dave might be able to explain protection schemes that do this.

Keep the great podcasts coming. Aaron (PS: Perhaps you could find some women in the industry to join your panel?)
