Even Noah only had to deal with 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Here we've been subjected to a 952-day and 952-night drought with NO, zip, none, nada, nary a single pro combined audio/MIDI program in sight.

Don't point to Reason 2.0: it's a wonderful program, but they admit that they don't even use *actual* MIDI, and I'd rather juggle kittens than use Reason's editors for writing and/or tweaking a part. And of course it doesn't do audio editing at all.

Don't point to Deck 3.5: no MIDI sequencing and editing.

No, it's a plague and a curse on Mac musicians, a starvation diet, over two years in solitary confinement. But there are promises...

Promises, promises...

DAY 952 and counting...

This is wrong. CoreAudio was ready, and was working perfectly since about 10.1.3. CoreMIDI worked perfectly as well, even if they fixed a non-crashing issue with 10.1.5 on SMP machines.

No, those people don't either have, or want to get OSX programmers, so they basicaly suck. It takes a considerable amount of time to adapt.

The system works, and I should know it, I'm the developer who ported Sibelius to OSX.

Beside, it wouldn't take apple a year to fix bugs. They are desperate for applications, and when porting Sibelius I had absolutly terrific return from the CoreAudio & MIDI team, they actualy delayed 10.1.5 JUST to get that MIDI fix in, primarily for Sibelius.

Of course, the whole of the application was already working. There is no valid reason, given the size of their teams, and the state of the OS, to claim "awww it's HARD, and all apple fault!" it's just plain not true.

slackers!
