I remember seeing the beige mac and wanting it but held out for the new g3 that was soon to come out and then the talk of a g4…what? What is a gearhead to do?

Back before we knew Apple was Evil haha,
actually the enthusiasm of the musicians (and maybe a little relief at less collaboration) is genuine, and makes me realize how lucky we have it now
I’m 27 and don’t go duh… I had an apple2… and an original mac.. recrea33 you’re generalization is rather stupid.
And where is Microsoft????
I was there. First staff engineer at Unique Recording/MIDI City in NYC, named one of the top five studios in the world for technological advancement during the eighties. Three years in a row.
This makes you truly appreciate the technology that most 20 year olds view as common place! There would be no Native Instruments Komplete 10 or a Korg Kronos workstation without the innovators of the 70 and 80s
Awesome discovery mac
i still have a Yamaha CXM5 which was 7000nf but never could use it while it has more possiblities then de Mac. So for me it is not the product but the marketing and users who count.Well mucians lets start playing music natural a sax=sax gitar=gitar and a trumpet is a trumpet.so do not replace a drummer in a drumcomputer.human = human
And today all of that equipment is available as a $0.99 app on a smartphone.
