440 Forums _ Other Controllers, Interfaces, DSP Cards _ Is There Any Creamware-user In The Room?

Écrit par : melenko mer. 4 févr. 2004, 21:00

hello,
after the recent news received from F.Hund,
how do you feel?
what would you do?
buy a Noah, move to another souncard?
SFP is a very smart concept,including a complete virtual studio
except the sequencer, but with some very good synths and effects!
and...converters!
i'm using a pulsar 2 running under os9.2.2 on a g4 bi-pro 1ghz,
and i love this card, but what's the future?
carrying out the developpement of an osx support "is not a priority"!
gosh!!
we,the mac-users, are we so weak?
our market does interest Motu,M-audio,Digidesign, and so on...
i'm really disappointed by what i read.
do you have any feeling about?
thanks for any anxwer

Hi everybody!

THIS is important, Creamware is letting OSX developement in stand by with no clear future. You users must show they care about this or you won't be able to boot in OSX for a long time. blink.gif sad.gif

sorry to repeat my demand!
is it possible there are no creamware-users on mac
in the english community?
french cwusers react, is there some reason you don't?
if we don't react, heavily, we won't be heard! unsure.gif

I am using Pulsar Plus and Pulsar SRB on my Mac G4/700 (upgraded 9600).
Running MacOS 9.2.2 and this work great. Don't have needs for OS X.

In the future I will upgrade to OS X but then I have to change computer.
CW does not support the new PCI-X so I must also change my DSP/soundcards.

I was a PC user with 3 x Pulsar 2 cards and many effects and synth I bought over the time.
I am now using a G5 as I wanted to change the way I worked to utilize outboard gear as well as a central application (Sequencer, not bothering with the Creamware application and having the ambiguity of two routing applications).

Unfortunately, I see no much future in Creamware as a company in general and MAC support in particular. I guess most of their good development force is not with them by now and it will take them considerable amount of time to get back to speed. For that matter they will concentrate on the bigger market (PC) and might get back to the MAC platform at some time in the future.

Keep in mind that there are currently no plans for SFP 4.0 either, on both platforms.

What Creamware is doing now is surviving, and a company in that state needs to concentrate not even on new development, rather holding to incremental additions and customer base maintenance.

thanks for your answers,
and in a certain way, you're both rigt.
but even if the mac-users market is a smaller one,
it seems to me representing different customers behaviour.
and don't forget it's also a pro market, and semi-pro too.
osx is recognized as a great os, so unstepping on that
train could be a strategical error.
anyway,cw-users on mac os9 don't have access to
the newest and well developped softwares, take a look
to the virtual instruments that sound very good, today,
and all the plugs.
if you at the time are well equipped,it is not everyone's
case,and second, leaving cw is difficult,and will generate
some extra-costs.
all the mac-users won't buy a g5 , now, it will take some time.
so,if cw was already developping the compatibility with osx,
and it seems they have worked hard on it,
why do they stop?
anyway,it is maybe a lost battle for a lost cause,who knows?

Hi all,

I just poster a message to ask about OSX compatibility .... but reading this thread answers my questions very well!

I have a PC running a Pulsar 2 and I recently got a Powerbook G4 and fell in love with it and OSX. I was thinking of buying a new audio interface to plug my hardware instruments on the Mac but I feel it's a shame not to use the Pulsar 2. So I had the brilliant idea to get a G5! Yeah ... lol ...

But, with no PCI-X and OSX compatibility, it's very unlikely I do that angry.gif

Too bad for my Pulsar 2, cause I'm not going back to the PC world. I am tired of having to set up the whole thing for 20 minutes before being able to produce any sound. And no my PC is not dedicated to music only and yes my studio is well organized (i don't have that many instruments or gear) and I feel that it would work better with OSX, even not dedicated to music only ...

... or is it the routing thing of the pulsar that makes things so powerful but also more complicated ?
