Did you notice that no announcements was made about music making with this OS. OMS, a vital element for midi communication IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH macOS X, and is no longer developped. No replacement was even announced! This mean NO MIDI (compatible with existing applications) on mac OS X. Audio drivers will need to be rewritten to work in OSX, and reports show that the system sound interface (Sound manager) was not improved, or is even worse than the actual version.... It sounds like Apple completely forgets its musician customers base! -itunes is a kind software, but it doesn't replace the needs for WORKING midi and audio application- SHOULD WE BUY A PC TO MAKE MUSIC NOW ????? :-( -------------------- Prutulz RTFM... is usually not enough

In 10 days, it would be a software thing. I can bet you than in the 2 coming years, 80% of the musical softwares (except the major ones) won't work on OS X. If as a result, we could get a faster midi, a unified plug-in architecture, a clever OS sound management (like windows DOES with activeX)....i would acept it as an evolution, but at this time, nothing is announced to be improved: We just hope that it will be compatible....

Rookie Groupe : Members Messages : 25 Inscrit : 13 mars 01 Lieu : Paris - FR Membre n^o 362	According to various beta-testing mailing-list of major editors (Emagic, Steinberg, Native-instrument,..), programmers all say the same things: Yes OSX seems great, but we won't develop something before Apple communicates us the standards about MIDI and Audio programming. At this time, there are no guidelines or API, and we won't waste our time and money to re-invent the wheel. So we are waiting. Considering that adapting applications to this new OS is a major work, and that Apple just said nothing to programmers at this time, it will take a while before anything work on OSX to make music. What will we do this summer, when OSX will be the only OS running on new macs. Apple always had a leadership position in the music business, but with the PC market growing every days and no softwares compatible with OSX, what are we suppose to do in the next month: throw our macs and buy a PC...:( Nobody at Apple care about the music market or what? I'm really scared :( David K. -------------------- David K.

Even when Apple will start shipping hardware with MacOS X pre-installed, don't forget that you still will be able to boot on MacOS9.1 to run all non X native software. This will be true for a looooong time ! So keep it easy guys...
