This is a normal post
I have a PC but I hardly ever use it because in comparison, it's less shiney!

This is a normal post pffff
actually I've used my expensive 17" macbook pro so much that it's classy aluminium body has totally lost it's once luxurious lustre. I only use my pc for games. My mac boots about 3 times faster and does everything, bar games, just as well if not better than my pc. Cubase on my PC crashed numerous times (including critical times when I was making stuff for uni) because, essentially, the ASIO drivers, which are a necessary software workaround to allow advanced audio apps to directly use the processor, are relatively unstable. Macs have "core audio", a much more reliable hardware solution.

This is a normal post My EMU-1212m?
Sorry, but it's good hardware... Latency is as low as 2ms, has the same A/D converters as Pro-Tools no less and a signal to noise ratio to match!

Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about.

This is a normal post Well it seems I was spot on
you DON'T know what you're talking about. :)

Here's the ASIO options for my soundcard... simple enough even you could handle it I reckon.

This is a normal post Yes looks simple
pity you failed to get it working isnt it and had to spend out on a shiney shiney box at three times the price.
I guess its horses for courses..
Not all people need a proper computer - they need something "that just works"

This is a normal post Technically, you and your taxes paid for it via my student grant
so thanks for my expensively indulgent electronic treat :D

Besides, not getting something to work, and something being unstable/unreliable are two different things.

Wow, what a cunt.

This is a normal post Wow, another level headed mac hater, what are the chances eh?
It's almost like you're both linux using autistic bosom buddies who hold hands.

Anyway, the real reason I bough a mac is because much of the course content at uni required software that was only available, or usable to the degree required by the course, on macs (namely Supercollider and MaxMSP/Jitter).

This is a normal post I didn't say you were a cunt because you used a mac
I said you were a cunt for spending your student grant on a mac then boasted about it on a forum while taunting those of us who paid for it.

This is a normal post Probably
why its having all these problems, no money for proper software.
The rest of the grant probably was spent on a fixed wheel bike and a pair of beard trimmers;)

This is a normal post Nice edit, I did wonder what a "bear trimmer" was.
Sorry to disappoint, but it seems we feel the same way about bearded people and hipster bikes.

This is a normal post Well that's the thing... I did.
It was the first audio program that I decided to buy along with my new PC (at the time), an old akai sampler, a novation a-station and a behringer mixer. (compensation money).

No I was thinking more about you shoving your shiney box up your arse as far it goes, while trying to decifer the instruction manual in the best way that you can, probably in the medium of mime.
P.S. I had your mum and shes shit

This is a normal post Well I've had few problems with Cubase and ASIO
Also, in terms of processor power, RAM and a fancy RAID config - I got a lot more for 800 quid than I would with apple. It's nice to run 20 instances of Massive just for fun.

ps I used to use an Akai S3000XL. Ahh the memories. I still have an A Station - the sub bass patch is still useful.
