Perpetual Vision vs Perspective

Jun 08, 2004 18:40

I have an Apple 23” HD Display, I didn’t need it, I really needed it (in that lustfull way, as you do). Paid full price when it came out (it’s dropped a few since) and I love it, one of the best hardware purchases I’ve made.
But after a couple of years or rumors this. Now I have something else that I “need ( Read more... )

Awww mannn.. why'd you have to post this!? I'm unemployed and broke and as such try to stay away from wanting things but now you've done it.

I think my biggest needs right now are a curent version of Logic as I'm still using Ver: 4.8 and the Mackie hardware controller for it as it'd really help speed up my working process.

Sorry about that, but yea, i can relate for sure.
I was lucky in getting Logic for free just before Apple clamped down and stopped Emagic from having a VIP program (Apple doesn't give their software away like that). I wouldn't mind the Mackie controller myself (if funds allowed) but if I had the money I' still wait a little longer too see if the rumors of an Apple controller hold true (though many things Apple develops never make to final production)

Shame for you and lucky for them that Logic is no longer crackable, and hasn't been since 4.8 and the emulator...

I of course have no idea of what you're referring too but assure you that when more money comes in it's high on my list of priorities to become more responsible in this aspect. I just had to be able to afford the hardware first so am still trying to climb up to the software level. But at this point even food is a concern, luckily there are free Wi-Fi spots all around this town.

I didn't know that Apple was going to come out with a dedicated controller? Any links to info on this?

I'm not sure you if understood me.
I was saying that I can relate to having no money etc. Been there/done that, a few times too many.
I wasn't making any negative comment in reference to your post, quite the contrary.

As for a Apple/Emagic hardware controller. they're just rumors and educated guesses based on what they've been asking pro's about and what they've hinted at. Some report seeing an early "ProTools killer prototype, but like I sad, Apple develops many things that never make it to production for various reasons.

Incidentally, such a controller would likely tie i with the Final-Cut Post market, which would potentially be much more lucrative for Apple. Pro musicians/studios are a very small niche after all. Apple bought Emagic mainly for the technology, as seen by Garageband and Soundtrack.
