I really, really hope Apple releases new Mac Pros for tomorrow. But... tomorrow is the day before the iPad 3 (or whatever they are going to call it) announcement/event.
The Mac Pro may occupy a very small amount of Apple's attention but there is no way they release anything that might draw even the slightest bit of attention from their holiest of holy iPad.
I hope I'm wrong
I doubt one has any effect on the others plans.Yeah, just like your brain... really fast he he.Yea, Just like firewire right?
Oh so your saying it doesn't take any talent today to do good music?
That is why they need a new one!
You're right. I'm in, here's mine: http://www.mennodeboer.com/site/album.html
It's an older jam (2008), made entirely on a Roland Fantom X7 and....[wait for it]...mixed on an iMac!
I NEVER said you weren't talented, just fooled to believe that a faster computer means a better session. People recorded great music that's timeless on 48 track machines... an iMac can play back 300 easily, VI's are a bit more involved so render before you open another up because concurrency isn't the iMacs strengths... actually no machine can pull off anything so you need to know your limits and even with the fastest MP, there's limit so quit acting like they don't! I watch people on windows machines even squeeze more performance than a Mac because of OSX's terrible memory management. I could really take it or leave the arrogance about your music because if your into touting about your band, your a bit vain to think EVERYONE'S going to like it...
Okay, you said his work on a laptop would still be awesome... are you sure?The scary part is .. Apple doing just perfectly fine without a MacPro, or even without Macs.
My point earlier was, Apple still able selling many of Apple Thunderbolt Display even without MacPro (which at the moment can't utilize it anyway since no Thunderbolt support yet on MacPro).
It's like Apple doesn't owe MacPro anything today, or in the need/rush to give it an update boost, they could just ditch it tomorrow, just like Macbook White, maybe with a few complains and that's it, Apple would still doing just fine.
MacPro really need love and caring, but Apple just don't have to do it anymore. It really hangs on Apple's mercy.
With that said..
I really really like MacPro, I really want to get one IF Apple ever care and update this beast again. But the fact is just grim, I believe MacPro is collecting dust on Apple Campus right now, and the "MacPro team" either moved to iPad or iPhone team, or ditched too
Oh yeah? really? And why top score Hollywood musician like Hans Zimmer still use a MacPro in his studio?
You know he's real talented, and if he ever given a puny laptop to work on, his works would still be equally awesome. But really, why would he choose to use a MacPro? Just for some iTunes break time, or post on his Twitter, I guess?
YES!!!!! It was all real musicians on an iMac! See, I'm right! Due to my label, I can't give up who I am but there's the proof... great stuff by the way, an iMac can create GREAT music in a talented persons hands... if you want to so synthetic stuff, maybe a room full of rack mounted tone generators would be best like in the old days OR, just render as audio...
you're still not reading me.
not the point, see above. most of my mixes have only 1/10th those tracks, and i can easily mix them on a 7 year old machine w/o breaking a sweat.
the point wasn't arrogance, it was simply asking you to showcase your stuff. i thought it more friendly to put mine out there first. you don't have to play if you don't want to.
. The lack of full displayport functionality makes me so mad. You can get 10 bit displayport on Linux and not OSX aside from a couple cards running Leopard (yes the original, not SL). I am unsure if it's a hardware limitation or somewhere in software. I haven't heard anything about it being included in Mountain Lion.Keep reinforcing what I'm saying... latency is in the interface. There's zero latency monitoring these days... I'm not arguing, just convinced.
bottom line i guess is that you and i work differently. difference seems to be that you don't respect the way i work, or you think i should change my workflow to yours. me, i think there are a lot of ways to work, and it's up to each of us to find what works best for ourselves and our situations.
9:30 AM but much later in Hanover.
