Tried Reaper, Reason, Calkwalk, Abelton, Cubase, Studio One, FL Studio & Acid Pro. I liked the latter but it’s Windows only & 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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
Intels have always had overheating problems. It’s probably why Apple abandoned Intel and moved to Apple Silicon.

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 really struggled with it, got some really great sounds, but not what I was looking for.

#introduction
I'd like to introduce my friend & collaborator, @npub1pxy…7gj7
James & I met in high school in '76 and tried a few jam sessions together in his basement. We reconnected recently & began collaborating again for 3 of the songs on my 1st album. He's new to the fediverse but I think he'll fit into our group nicely.

Here's one of our collaborations, probably my favourite: https://ladderlogicband.bandcamp.com/track/future-tense

2/ on cover songs.
Which is of course one of the things Distrokid upsells themselves with, the fact that they handle the licensing of cover songs for you (for an additional fee of course). Needless to say I am really disappointed, and just wanted to put this out there so others are aware that there are potential issues between Apple and Distrokid over the handling of cover songs.

Thanks so much Mikako, I appreciate the support & the feedback a lot. I found a niche for myself around 2018 when I retired, which is using electronic loops & then adding my own instrumental elements on top. The lyrics for In The End & Life Goes On are my own, based on my own experiences. I'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.

Ladder Logic's debut album is now available for streaming on Spotify. Given the change in their royalty distributions it's unlikely I'll make any money here, but please feel free to have a listen and share. #Spotify #Streaming #Music #IndieRock #GearSquad

We love them both. They’re 19 months old now so they were both fairly well adjusted when we adopted them a month ago. The have some odd and quirky behaviour but they’re cats, so it’s just lots of patience, understanding and love.

Mars is jet black, so his eyes really stand out in the dark. Apollo is smokey grey, but his eyes are just as expressive in the dark.

Mars is wondering when his big adventure is going to begin.

Thanks Mikako, really appreciate it. Apollo and Mars are having outside issues at the moment, we want them in a harness and on a leash. Both are accepting of that now, but Apollo is really upset that Mars is going outside too. Not sure how we get them past that, but we're working on it.

I’ve got a feeling it’s all US based, because that’s where Distrokid is located. Hopefully I can get artist accounts setup on these services soon and I’ll see what I can do to rectify this going forward. It’s supposed to be available for sale on August 26th, hopefully that will be worldwide.

Apollo has his spot in the sun, Mars really wants him to share.

Update on my Ladder Logic album release. I’ve obtained the license to cover Free Fallin’. So my release date of August 26th is solid. The album has now been sent to all Distrokid’s distribution networks and will be available for pre-order August 19th.
