Each one has their place...

If you want stuff just to work and focus on making music, OSX.
If you want to use lots of free 32 bit only VSTs on a cracked version FL Studio and tear you hear out every time you need to mix another signal from USB, Windows.
If you are poor / have too much free time Linux.

That is until your FireWire just decides it doesn't want to work anymore

I'm trying to sort it atm but if I can't the biggest kick in the stones is that the warranty on my mac ran out 7days ago.

I'm amazed this thread isn't more of a shitstorm.

Speak to apple. Go in to a store and cause a fuss if need be.

Oh, and as for cracks, nearly everything you need is available for mac (ahem, but we don't condone that sort of thing here).

It's a drunk thread in (a very obvious) disguise.

Posted by DJ RANN on Mar-21-2015 01:04:

All my threads are drunk. I thought it was normal?

Posted by djnitride on Mar-21-2015 01:05:

I think it speaks volumes for this forum that this hasn't turned into a trivial flamewar.

Though we have those for far more stupid reasons on a regular basis

That's because all the cool people here use (and bitch about) both Macs and PCs.

So, Seargent Sarcasm and Captain Obvious walk into a bar...

I've only had it for a year.. I still can't determine if its the Mac or sound card (saffire pro 14).

The power light comes on the saffire but that's it, I'll know more on Monday when I try the card in another machine.

Edit:

Update..

Its decided to work now all of a sudden

I don't get it although I am not complaining.

Thanks for wasting our time

However for anyone reading this, it's a cautionary tale for FW users;

NEVER HOT PLUG ANY FIREWIRE DEVICES. It's not like usb which is master to slave - firewire is a peel to peer device with different wattages/current involved meaning it's super easy to fry a FW bridge, either in your device, or far worse, your computer.

Very welcome

Well I'm busy waisting my own time atm doing a clean install with yosemite.
I guess now is a good as time to finally update and get rid of all the shit on my hd I don't need, and time machine is all ready and waiting to be put to use with mavericks when I discover non of my shit works anymore

Nah I think any compatibility issues have long been sorted with the plugs I use so hopefully all will be good.

As for the firewire, well I'm not a fan of it but I have no choice due to my virus being a bitch with all the usb ports on my mac

Posted by DJ RANN on Mar-22-2015 00:47:

Yosemite is honestly great. I've actually had no compatibility issues (well apart from perian in quicktime trying to convert everything rather than just damnwell playing it).

I actually have grown to love the fresh install. Not fun on a PC but on a mac it's done in like an hour.

Posted by meriter on Mar-22-2015 01:26:

I just don't think I'll be able to move past snow leopard

I had an ubuntu install on an old laptop and honestly everything about it felt right, glad Bitwig is around even if it's not spectacular it's still enough to convince me to switch over to linux. But I say that now we'll see how I feel after dealing with the reality of it

EDIT: also getting better at Gimp too which was a nightmare at first having been used to photoshop for like 10 years but it's basically all the same shit

Yes, its cool that it runs on Linux but can you really leave behind / have to screw with plugin wrappers to get your other stuff running?

For me the answer is a gigantic no even though I have run many Linux systems for over a decade, much of that professionally. You are still going to be running the same plugins you would be on Windows or OSX except it will be way more annoying to get them working properly.

Loving Yosemite as well here havn't had any problems with it.
