Recently a friend of mine got a new #Windows PC for running #Cubase on it. He installed his previously used software, namely Cubase and #Voxengo audio plugins on the new box.

When he opened a Cubase project he had copied from his old PC, none of the plugins in that project were detected any more. Even though he had them installed. So he had to open the project on the old machine, write all plugin settings down to paper, re-insert the very same plugins on the new machine into the very same project and restore the settings from his notes.

I just copied an #Ardour project from #OSX to #UbuntuStudio #Linux. I use some Windows #Voxengo plugins on Linux via #LinVST, while I use native Voxengo binaries on OS X.

The Ardour project created on OS X plays on Linux out of the box, using all plugins (given they are installed).

Just one of these many details in how your #DAW does certain things.

Mobiles Mini-#Tonstudio.

Das #MacBook von 2017 ist bei weitem nicht überfordert mit der Aufgabe, fängt aber bereits bei 5 bis 10% Systemauslastung unglaublich an zu pusten, sodass man eigentlich in einen anderen Raum damit muss. #Apple, so gefeiert, ich kann's immer noch nicht nachvollziehen.

Einsatzgrund: #RME #TotalMix für das #Fireface400 ist einfach so viel besser als #ffadomixer unter #UbuntuStudio #Linux. Letzterer wäre auf meinem #Thinkpad verfügbar und würde auch mit diesem Interface funktionieren.

#Ardour bleibt Ardour, auch auf #OSX.

OK, first pass at a working tiling window manager for OSX is a thing (yes, you read that correctly) 🎉

This is me updating Penrose to remove the X11-isms and then implementing a backend for OSX that lets you drop in pretty much all of the existing functionality from the Penrose crate (minus the status bar and a couple of extensions).

It's still pretty hacky at this stage, and there are plenty of bugs to sort out but I'm happy with how much ends up working out of the box! 😄

#Apple Needs a #SnowSequoia
Same year iPhone launched, Apple unveiled a massive upgrade to #Mac #OSX known as Leopard, sporting “300 New Features.” Two years later, it did something almost unheard of: it released #SnowLeopard, an upgrade all about how little it added and how much it took away.
Snow Leopard did what it was made to do. It was one of the most solid software releases ever put out. One of the best modern #OS releases, period.
Apple needs to make it snow again.

I had to reinstall #Mac #OS9 as I was suddenly running into some weird boot issues, but then again it was a nice opportunity to get a clean OS install going on my #G4 #iMac.
I tried the OS9 9.2.1 CD that came with the original #OSX, but that did not work. I guess it is missing some iMac-specific bits. Regardless, my burned 9.2.2 "universal" installer CD worked beautifully.
And of course, I had to install #SereneScreen #Marine #Aquarium.

Things that were obvious design mistakes from :
- (not the technology, but the implementation)
- Removing (people like the convenience of not killing their laptop over tripping cables)
- Re-adding MagSafe (without actually addressing the problem that you need a whole new cable to just deliver power)
- Square alignment of arrow keys (does this even need a comment?)
- Removing the escape key (it's not just nerds)
- button that can't visually tell you that it wants your attention (believe it or not, but some people have no effing clue what to do when the TouchID popup pops up)
- The contrast of on calendars (eternal shit show of trying to read purple text on a slightly darker purple background)
- Everything related to (the way it's been buggy for years, the slowness, the non functional fuzzy search, the 3! distinct and horrible ways it works, ...)
- as a whole (anyone who is a tiny bit critical can't stand this piece of UX hell)
