![]() ![]() If the rumours were false, I would have a head start with my Apple Studio. My future Apple Studio was promised for delivery in four months so if the rumours were right, I could get the rumoured Mac Pro and cancel the Apple Studio. Should I buy the Studio, or should I wait? However, in the words of a great man “… one more thing.”Īs soon as I pressed Add to Cart, another rumour mentioning that a Mac Pro based M1 computer might be revealed at WWDC next June surfaced. I didn’t want to have to recalibrate twelve loudspeakers. I didn’t want to carry anything across from my previous computer, apart from one thing - my MTRX profiles and calibration setups. At last, the wait is over, and I could start gathering all the applications and plugins to be able to do a clean install. It’s my connection to my interface, and I definitely don’t want to spend extra for a 10 years plus old HD Native Thunderbolt box.Ī couple of days later Dante was Apple Silicon compatible and most of my day-to-day plugins where also on the Apple Silicon bandwagon. I also had to consider how the new computer would interact with my existing hardware devices - slight panic attack! Dante was not compatible yet. ![]() What a godsend having everything under one roof saved me so much time! Then Production Expert’s plugins compatibility chart. Then I subscribed to Avid’s latest news on updates and compatibility, in fact, it’s still my homepage when I open Safari. I took screenshots of my Applications folder as well as my Plugins folders. I’ll have to make sure that my workflow will be improved, not compromised by any move to a new computer. In the meantime I‘ll have to do my homework. So, of course, we embrace each new leap, but always with caution.Īt the time my train of thought was if, or when, Apple comes out with a souped up (64G of RAM) M1 Mac mini it will be my time to jump. Thankfully in this industry we are driven by passion, curiosity, and the need to express and reinvent ourselves on a daily basis. Or more recently the upgrade to 64 bit only applications? I am die hard Apple fanboy, and I know it’s for the best, but sometimes… Or the removal of Firewire connectors? Rendering all our hard drives, and interfaces, obsolete. Remember when they took away the diskette? We couldn’t authorize Pro Tools or its plugins without that drive. Every time Apple make a technological leap forward, we are left dangling on the edge of an abyss.
