osx and music-the near future, plug compatibility Options

[damann]

as great as osx is, i'm too experienced with this whole upgrade situation to willingly start over with the plugs etc that i've spent so much time/money on getting to work, at the end of the day what we do is make music, not beta test os compatibility problems. i fully endorse the move forward but need to know that i can use the plugs that i rely on to make my music. can we get a forum going here that specifies the third party software that works under x and also discuss the bugs?
we're moving from a situation that over the years got as good as it could get, to a new horizon, some people still make great music without any such luxuries! i really want to know everybody's personal software problems, this way hopefully we can help each other avoid the pitfalls.
luck = labour under correct knowledge, for a start, could everybody reading this let me know what dosen't work in x or classic, i use both, but not for music making yet.
i guess i'm talking about an in-depth plug-in forum, i look forward to your response......

Maybe you'll be heard in the coming upgrade of macmusic (we still have to talk about some things around a drink next WE).

I'm more into hardware stuff, but I feel to (and have the experience) that no transition is to be safe, clean, happy all along etc etc.

About new software, on the french forum OSX someone talked about intuem a software with midi under X… got to look at that

thanks lepetitmartien.
come on guys ! surely someone has some knowledge on this subject.
if it's not an issue for you yet it certainly will become one in the near future !

If you look in the system multiples folder of OSX, you will find an 'Digidesign' and an 'Asio' folder.

We can bet that something is under-work there, but i'm afraid that most plug-ins would need modifications to run in OSX, except if apple would make a sort of carbon-lib for audio plug-ins.
I just hope that thoses modifications aren't that hard to do
and that a new plug-in standart will born.

We definitively need ONE new standard for audio plug-in!
And Apple, with the recent Emagic purchase, could/should do that.

For the 501th post…

I bet the Emagic folder is bigger now

for the pluggin standard… Damann found the trick (maybe, those companies can be SO stupid) check the audionunits thread

[damann]

my emagic folder was already 6.5gb before logic5!
it only contains alias' of my samples folder and of course, audio folder.
logic5 is the "dogs" though, the new "audio instruments" and some of the native plugs are simply the best examples of soft synthesis/dsp imagineable!
the automation is on a par with pt and cpu usage has become strangely low!!!
get apple onto the gui and thre's a groundbreaking product in there somwhere...
backup is of course, essential.
