Can I just say Windows sucks!

[thedreampolice]

Man even windows 7 drives me crazy, there is just all this shit that doesn't work as well as a mac. I am telling you there is a reason mac users don't switch back. Even my aging G5 works better, its just not as fast as my quad core dell.

And yes I was a windows tech forever I know it inside and out, it just handles video and sound so terribly in comparison.

Now I just need 5 grand to get a new mac.

POKE MYSELF IN THE EYE WITH A STICK!


Thanks for letting me rant.

Here we go, AGAIN!

 

[Shonsteez]

Nah man, Ill second that. Ill never go back.

Ha ha not trying to start a win vs Mac war, just really frustrated.

Right now I'm dual-booting between Windows 7 and Linux Mint and I like something on each. I think I would probably switch to Linux full time if it weren't for a few programs but I'm trying to slowly switch to Linux versions.

Sometimes I'll use Linux for a few days straight, then when I go back to Windows it seems like everything is slower! I really like 7 but it just seems that it's the typical Windows scenario: looks great, feels great, works great, then one day BOOOOOOOM Hiroshima.

 

[Sucio]

Whiners.

I feel that, windows give you this false sense of security. Then it just freaks for strange reasons!

man F&!%K windows! vista was a joke. havnt tried version 7 so wont bad mouth that just yet. i was a windows user up until 2 years ago when i got my macbook. shes been the queen of my heart ever since... apple just feels smoother and less volatile. the only thing i miss about windows is being able to run Acid.. it was great for sample work. but i have faith it will be compatible with mac soon..

 

[Relic]

So far I like Win 7
Its waaay better than the earlier versions.

Sorry to break it to you but you had better go with Ableton. I have talked to the developers at Sony, there will not be a mac version.

Damn developers! If only they would make more software for different OS's than just Windows, but we all know it's a monopoly.

 

[thedreampolice]

Ableton is way better than acid anyway. Most of the innovative stuff is moving to mac. I also have this feeling that Roland will not move cakewalk in the right direction.

thats a damn shame... yeah i already use ableton, and i guess all in all its actually a better software with regard to manipulating samples.. but i dont know, there was just somthing about acid.. oh well.. invest in a windows laptop maybe? look at me eating my words.. how quickly the alliance has crumbled.

Of all the crap thats coming from you in this thread, I'm gonna have to agree with the statement above. But thats it so far. ~ hahahaha

 

[thedreampolice]

ha ha, I try not to hate on any DAW. As I think each one has its place and connects with different users. BUUUT ACID is super cool, Sony just has no idea what to do with the program. Where Ableton is a much more focused company IE If Ableton Live fails they are out of job. The sony guys not so much. I remember using acid (the program) back in the day and thinking it was cool. But Ableton is just so flexible.

And I am not trying to do the mac vs PC thing, I am saying it is nice that core audio is built in to the OS. Just how OSX handles devices in general is so nice. I really miss that when I am in Windows.

 

[dacalion]

OK I have a solution for YOU! Do all your music and video stuff on a Mac and EVERYTHING else on PC. Problem solved...NEEEEXT!

 

[thedreampolice]

Do all your music and video stuff on a Mac and EVERYTHING else on PC

What else is there to do? ha ha

I have not found anything I cant do on a mac.

I just got through building a nice PC setup, but I have to agree. I used to use a g4 a few years back, and core audio/midi is something special.
The way you can use audio/midi devices, create aggregate devices, route audio all over the place, etc...is definitely dope.

I'm happy with win7 for now, but I still plan to get another mac in the setup, even if it's just a mac mini, I can run all my vsts via ethernet into the mac, have the pc handle all the heavy lifting and keep the mac lean and mean.
