Duncan, when someone says their running a mac a lot of the time I assume they are using bootcamp
it would be nice if they could re-jig the installer OR give an option for a different location for the samples.. with rapture, the files aren't that big though.
I've worked / fixed / upgraded more mac's then maybe a lot of people will see in a lifetime for a living, it gave me an insight into the machine .. at least 4-5 a day... and most over 50.
each machine has it's strengths / weakness's.. as for mac..hhmmm lets just say even on mac things aren't always rosey.I was the only guy in the company who wasn't running a mac, and used to have to go into cult of apple every day... if only they had switched to intel chips a lot earlier, that might have wiped the smug grin off my colleagues faces.
as for your iffy PC, well you had a bad experience, was it a self build etc?
with universal binaries and apple using intel chipsets , it might make things a bit easier.. but I can't see the dev cost vs user base being even. I mean apple can turn around and flip the script, so if I was a software house, I'd be wary of some aspects of "progress"
as for logic, it's more funny 3 of my friends really had v8 (?) of it... one who is the biggest fan for many years (going back to c-lab on st) said.. WTF have they done with logic, and currently is sticking with the previous version BUT might switch to cubase.. he'd use sonar, but since it's PC based.. he prefers doing things on the mac.
on a happier note , have you got the Muz3um sound pack? if not why not.hehe
