Is there a back to basics movement?

[Stupid American Pig]

i am, at least sort of, "forced" to go back to the "basics" regarding my musicmaking. but that´s not cause i decided to do so, thats cause the combination osX+Logic+AU generates so many troubles here (and i´m talking 1,5 years, everyday .. not just some weeks) that i have to reduce my tools and components.

under os9 and logic my vst-folder was crowded with lots of plugins .. and yes, i was a happy schnitzel using many plugs on a quite stable system.
under osX i play big brother with the AU-folder, and from 123 legal AU-components only 23 are installed, due to crashfest-paranoia. and wow, i still have crashfests every single day.

now i concentrate on the really important plugins .. an the other ones get the dust.

Putte! Stop! think of what you are doing to the mac evangelists on this forum by admitting that OSX can have problems just like any other PC platform.

I cant help it- after YEARS of hearing Mac Users crow on and on and on about how superior their compu-toys were, I have to say GET A PC: Problem solved.

Perhaps - Autechre moving away from computer sequencing, Aphex and Vibert doing acid stuff again. Warp putting out soul and indie rock records.

I think everybody naturally took the whole Richard Devine/MSP thing to the brink right away, just because they could, but now maybe people are realizing that for whatever reason they like doing things in a slightly more immediate, hands-on way.
