Enjoy class compliance and easily making an aggregate device. Oh wait....Macs = computers for suckers
Aggregate device is a nice convenience, but every device that's not the master will have its stream resampled. When the clocks can't be synced, there's no way around that.Enjoy class compliance and easily making an aggregate device. Oh wait....
It may be a pain to make those last minute downloads! And how do you make .NET updates for apps and VSTs which demand it? Certainly you have a PC anywhere with W10 for these cases...PCs are still running ancient windows 7 and NEVER go on line.
I have Protools 10, I don’t run any 3D party plug ins. The stock plugs do more than what I need.It may be a pain to make those last minute downloads! And how do you make .NET updates for apps and VSTs which demand it? Certainly you have a PC anywhere with W10 for these cases...
Sometimes Rob, you display a tendency to speak in pretty absolutist terms, with absolutely {} no regard for either nuance, or the fact that there are so many people on this planet and ∴ just from a point of view of sheer logic, a number of different ways of reaching the same goal. There are a number of different ways of doing what we do. Some of those might involve being net connected on a computer ~ some of them may not. The computer I use to house my VSTis hasn't been connected to the internet since probably 2010. I don't feel a need to constantly change what I have or add to it. If a person feels limited in any area, they should do something about it. But if one is happy how one operates, then why should they change ?I think you have to face the fact that the days of not connecting a computer to the internet is like keeping one hand behind your back.
If I have learned one thing by listening and observation in my 59 years on earth, it's that many professionals are just as prone to following the herd as amateurs, don't knows and wannabes.I think this sums the dominance of Apple Computers in the entertainment industry. These are not stupid people, and the majority are not very well off, but Macs do what they need better than PCs.
In the spirit of ‘the Dude’ ........ Hey man that’s just your opinion.I think you have to face the fact that the days of not connecting a computer to the internet is like keeping one hand behind your back.
I couldn't agree more.One more point. Why the fuck does everything constantly have to be upgraded?
If it works, it works.
It's not internet resistance.I just don’t understand this internet resistance.
That fact that you’re ok with disagreement is a good thing.No problem with other peoples opinions, but connectivity is how it’s going. My computers in different places are linked by the net, my fridge freezer (not that even I use it) had an IP address, and my doorbells and alarms are too. The UK telephone system is being switched off soon and everyone will need broadband.
vsti wise, every single day I get emails about new stuff, and go to the YouTube walkthrough, and say yuk, or nice, or wow and I often, like yesterday, download. I get the idea many people just don’t add new stuff, and stay static, but suspect that’s pretty uncommon now.
I just don’t understand this internet resistance.
on the audio and computer front. Has anyone plugged a MacBook into an audio system and had nasty hums and buzzes, I’ve not, yet PCs really struggle to be noise free. Sure, you can make a PC noise free with either care or knowledge, and an avoidance of certain makes, but how many times do we tell people to pull out the power cable and see if the noise goes away, and it does.
my studio computers are PCs, but for portables it’s macs for me. It’s been a solid choice for me, but obviously more expensive. When somebody has their tracks on a computer with QLab on tour, or is using one with mainstage as the MD for their extra sounds, they wont consider a swap to PCs. I’m happy to use both, but macs are so much more popular in the theatre, music and live events industry.
If you disagree it’s OK with me. Some folk don’t like vaccinations and that’s OK too. Cue Mr Spock’s eyebrow.
