As you may know, at the end of this month, Apple with launch MacOS X, the new MacOS.
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

I dont use OS X or know anybody that does but.. my understanding is that you will be able to boot with classic OS so there wouldnt be a problem with using older software
I choose to upgrade only to OS 9 due to budget and with a G3 I dont think OS X would be much of an advantage. |

Looking at my OS X core systems, I can see folders named 'ASIO' and other audio related folders, looks like some work is already in the way...

Wow, no replies for years??
anyway.. now there is Tiger and there is core audio. Music souds best on Mac as always. All the good audio software is available on Mac. It's USB now, the days of the old school MIDI have ended. Stay with Macs!! -------------------- BPM
