Re: Real Costs of Switcing Programs

2002-07-02 by Radtznest Studioz

I have been reading these types of responses all day.    My PC is loaded
with PC only software, plugins, and PC only audio interfaces.   I am sure
Sonic Foundry is working on a whole series of Mac software just for me as we
speak.   I am glad that your converters are cross platform.  Mine are not.
Sell my PC because of one program?  Not likely or realistic.  Its
frustrating to have a stable system, and realize that its going in the trash
in the next couple of years.

Its difficult enough to get programs integrated in one box, now I'm supposed
integrate different systems?   I know its possible, but ...

Spending $2500+ and using two different OS's or spending $600 and learning a
program from scratch; I'm annoyed with both options.    I am also annoyed
with the $150 I just flushed on the upgrade.  We all know it takes years and
several releases for Emagic to work out the bugs and give the advertised
features to the user.  I upgraded expecting this to work itself out.  Now I
know that I will have an "unfinished" version.

I am also tired of reading about people who are "making decisions based on
platform, not on the tool".  The computer is  the tool.  Logic is part of
the mix.   The "just switch to a Mac" people are forgetting that there's a
whole lot more in the (tool) box than just Logic Audio.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,
Calm down. Your system works fine now. So use it. Later when you want to
upgrade you can spend $1200 for a clearance of the entry level Powermac
tower
and sell you system used - and probably only be out a few hundred. My AMIII
is cross platform and my converters (external Apogee) have nothing to do
with
either platform.
