Want to make music again. What (mac) host should I go for these days?

[fmr]

Fernando, you find everything so funny? After COVID I hope you come to my next standup gig, I could do with folks like you in the audience

Sure. It would be me pleasure. You pay for traveling and staying expenses, and I'll be glad to

Also: calm down mate, you have NOTHING to school me on, oddly Mac-obsessive that you are. I never waste my time in Windows threads, hopefully one day you'll be at peace enough to leave Mac threads alone after your multi-year long goodbye to the platform.

First: I never said goodbye to the platform. I hate Apple, but I like the platform. I invested too many years on it to let just a bunch of **** to push me out. I hope to live enough to see them doomed, anyway.

Second: It's not true that you stay out of Windows threads. You posted on a thread where a guy said he is tired of macOS and is seeking advice for the best DAW to use in Windows. It qualifies as a Windows thread to me

Third: It's always funny to post in Mac threads, and see all the Mac fanboys distill all their vitriol on me (fair enough, you were not the only one - the usual legion of Apple fanboys immediately jumped with the usual BS)

Fourth, and to get back to your post. I see no reason why a host that only supports VST (which is the "de facto" standard in what concerns plug-ins) should be dismissed, just because they don't adhere to the Apple "standards". VST works pretty well on macOS (at least on the hosts I use, except maybe Digital Performer, which, despite their late effort, still shows the result of too many years being just a macOS application - that's why in it I just use AU).

Anyway, have a great 2021, and let's hope we can keep amuse each other in macOS threads

Seriously, it's been a tough year for everyone, I hope you find some closure one day. Take care 'Nando. Thoughts 'n' prayers.

You didn’t say what type of music you make, or how you do it. That makes a large difference.

Electronic music. Think electro, ebm and technoish. I don't "perform" while i create.

And happy new year!

@revvy you do your standup gig in NYC?
When I finally get there to see my sister looking for good standup - dark horse bar?

Got major changes ahead as to destinations but it will be across the pond from NY, fingers crossed....

Anywhere is good. Only matter of time.

Are you the same Stefan that used to be active in the synthmaker forums, maybe developed something in one of the old dev challenges? Nice to see you back if so.

Yep. Hi!
