I liked the latter but it’s Windows only &amp; I won’t ever use a Windows machine again ever. Of the others each one has interesting features but not everything I need. What I like about MixBus is that it’s a digital representation of an analog workflow, and that’s my background, having worked in a major Vancouver studio in the 80’s. I’ve grown with Logic over 20+ years, so it’s going to be tough. 2026-08-02T14:22:15Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs22jtcpv7xmp6aw02jt8mg508vlhwh0pmkpvhpceyw9srl9z6gcjszyppga6lqcsvn0y0ga2a0yz0rslmrlpptydwzccv05rahph3erlu3xp8krl7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs27k4x0e3jlqtxunp39nqxn9h2sd6vzvsrkh3wwn9qwhyjdx738gczfzzjd'>nevent1q…zzjd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Jobs came up with the “magic quadrant” concept for consumer/business computing needs to help minimize the number of models and choices. So you had two or three options with a machine and limited configuration options for those. Now there’s like 80 different iPads, 20 different laptops, god knows how many iPhones. It’s the antithesis of Jobs vision and a nightmare for consumers. Not sure about John Ternus but he’s definitely got his work cut out for himself to fix the mess. 2026-08-02T14:10:40Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsycvatwn3h45uf8mv6zgmave226a45msxxzr9vw6nnehmenc02w3szyppga6lqcsvn0y0ga2a0yz0rslmrlpptydwzccv05rahph3erlu3x8tna3s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdwd7pkpx96hg956nxlvff688e3q9xxq9dtx268dsw09a6mesy06gvwccxz'>nevent1q…ccxz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Agree that Cook doesn’t have the same kind of vision or drive that Jobs had, and that the company has gone seriously downhill since the latter died.<br/><br/>I’m actually abandoning Logic, which I’ve been using since version 3. It’s been going downhill for a while now, and the switch to Apple Silicon has turned it into a bugfest. Once I finish my current project I’ll be moving to MixBus Pro. Big learning curve but it’ll be worth it long term. 2026-08-01T22:39:28Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspxd7mnjuwfnvwwapweddfwg4zds5zk2ehlmlk5mffksjnf6w5amszyppga6lqcsvn0y0ga2a0yz0rslmrlpptydwzccv05rahph3erlu3xcx20pk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd0t9pgh7kkkj39gd38j2fv6zx5y8lqtpwhufp2k36xh5nj5j9q8g29kfqs'>nevent1q…kfqs</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The 2018 MBP’s had major overheating issues. I have one that was late 2018, after they’d supposedly fixed the issue. Only time the fan really kicks in for me is playing Civilization V through Steam. My understanding is that when the CPU overheats (basically why the fan kicks in) it also drops the processing speed. Which then triggers a recursive loop.<br/><br/>Intels have always had overheating problems. It’s probably why Apple abandoned Intel and moved to Apple Silicon. 2026-08-01T18:18:13Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsthtm77jdnr2k67ydu555crvfzufwf0wc63rnczyj5cgxfc6jxjfszyppga6lqcsvn0y0ga2a0yz0rslmrlpptydwzccv05rahph3erlu3x2sk0wu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg5w3qcpscx8hxrzy5057jpqmhn3ddy5x29dmcqyy78tm2a9t3yks900yge'>nevent1q…0yge</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Myles Kennedy &amp; Mark Tremonti of Alter Bridge 2025-12-07T21:38:24Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvvaz66tr5qlfktjwmxzvqgax2drhvk45ug6dcj59tzcqys00kzeczyppga6lqcsvn0y0ga2a0yz0rslmrlpptydwzccv05rahph3erlu3xnjh930 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsddm573lp9fajqn7y2mrs9tps4cunj56pvytksteaswvvumqxwnhsz369pd'>nevent1q…69pd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I rented an ARP Oddessy for a month in 1981 because I really liked the way it sounded on the Styx song Come Sail Away.

I found a niche for myself around 2018 when I retired, which is using electronic loops &amp; then adding my own instrumental elements on top. The lyrics for In The End &amp; Life Goes On are my own, based on my own experiences. I&#39;m now collaborating with an old high school friend lyrically, which takes a lot of pressure off. He actually convinced me it was time to release these songs. 2024-08-26T18:31:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstq5k42g3r7247r4asvzhec58l004c04du4mdcej334qtjc3vw0ngzyppga6lqcsvn0y0ga2a0yz0rslmrlpptydwzccv05rahph3erlu3x5fflqg Ladder Logic&#39;s debut album is now available for streaming on Spotify.
