i used macs for the first 15 years of my life. and i hate them.

since we're bumping, let's bring all this Mac shit back up top.

my business has done incredibly well with a commodore 64

ignorance is bliss :thumbsup

lol :1orglaugh

I love discussions about religion.

QuarkXPress is the best thing for layout and dtp still imho.. and now you can build web pages too using Quark if you want, from version 4.x with Extensis BeyondTools and now it is integrated...

And if you work for a daily paper, you cannot afford pcs with all those virii out there.. macs are way much safer :)

You started using a mac when you were 1 and stopped using them when you were 15. How old are you now?

Keta uses Nuendo and CubaseSX Eats protools for lunch...

Whats even better is my soudcards are delta 1010's and Layla 24's which beat the piss out of the digi sound cards, I dont have to have a farm setup and I can offload all of my effect processing and vst processing to another box dedicated if I need to.

Hell for that matter Logic eats protools for lunch...sorry but protools has been resting on there laurels for the last few years and forgot to play catchup... TDM is a crappy format compared to VST

B.T.W. when I got into music I was a huge cool edit fan, I still think its a great piece of software... For stright wave editing I just use wavelab or sound forge, I prefer wavelab though.

Video encoding..Wow I use cleaner to...how ya like that...matter of fact I use cleanerXL as I found cleaner 5 to be a piece of piss hell if I had a mac i'd be all over cleaner 6...

Editing Chopping, Vegas, Vdub, Premere, Media Studio I dont lock myself into one tool, sometimes I'll use them all on a project depends on how creative I want to be, and what does the job the best that I am looking for.

Just finished the ADR for a movie for next years sundance we did all the sound in Cubase/Nuendo/Vegas... We also did the entire editing in final cut pro... I'm not saying final cut pro is not a good tool, but its far from your only choice...

Hell alot of the sequences where done in Imovie... I will say that Imovie beats the piss out of windows bullshit movie editor, now that program is a joke.

@digifan...

I'm not talking to you anymore you wont mail me you just mail my partner now... I'm very jellious...

It is not the machine but the person who operates it. Macs (apple) always had nicer looking boxes than IMB clones and brought video functionally to the masses.

:)

:glugglug Pump..

Keta,

I emailed you and am still waiting for your reply :)

My friend put together a girl hip-hop band called Fannypack who just released a record and video on Tommy Boy. He recorded the entire thing on a PC using Acid.

When did you start speaking British English?

I smell a rat....

@digi..

It looks like the e-mail elves have eaten it. Either that or jeff has hacked my email and is preventing me from talking to you...
