>>47161205
I'm a mac user, but this so much. Apple has always build the shittiest mouses in existence. I have no clue how they could assume people will like to use the magic mouse. Fortunately they also sell the magic trackpad, which is fucking great.
>>47161273
Trackpads are fucking useless. Why the fuck would you purposely want to cripple yourself by using one of them instead of a mouse when you are at a desk and have enough space?

do you have an ipad toilet stand too?

So how does Apple Cock taste, OP?
>>47161069
Is your desk Apple brand? What about the laptop and iPad holder, is that made by Apple?
WHY THE FUCK NOT OP? ARE YOU NOT A TRUE FANBOI ??

>>47161069
it's painful to see something like this.
you could've had a fuckloads more powerful setup for a fraction of the cost and could've installed hackingtosh on that rig.
>>47161288
>I have never used one, but have an opinion on it nevertheless
Sure, the shitty touchpads on Windows PCs are useless, but Apple's trackpads are fucking great and a lot better for 90% of all tasks (gaming being a notable only exception, but that's for children). I hardly need to move my hand, it's very precise (although granted, there are more precise optical mouses), there are gestures (which make a whole new workflow possible). It feels super natural, you get used to it super quickly.
>>47161489
Not the other guy, but I never use the trackpad on my laptop. The red clitoris on Thinkpads are a godsend, better than any touchpad. The main reason being that I can keep my hands on the keyboard while I move the mouse. The keyboard and mouse essentially become one device.
where is your god now
>>47161554
>The red clitoris on Thinkpads
Good god I knew I wasn't the only one who felt that that thing was kinda lewd

Makes for good practice imo.

I even have a mac and I think that shit is stupid
>>47161099
thats a non retina macbook pro so it doesnt have soldered ram
>>47161725
Does everything work properly on the T420/X220? I've been thinking about getting some hardware for a hackintosh project.
PC is just for gaming. I do everything on the MBA. Desk is falling apart.
>>47161931
Had to buy a new WiFi card, but other than that, everything works great. Sleep, trackpoint, sound, camera, all works.
I got a Dell 1510 WiFi card, but that shit required patching BIOS in Windows because Lelnovo uses whitelists.

why is it so ugly ?

Not that guy but: please elaborate ... do you mean the computer or the OS? What do you mean by ugly?
>>47162018
i'm confused. did you mean the other right? and why is it funny?
>>47162326
he's talking about the trash can.
>>47162326
He said Mac Pro not MBA you retard applefag
>>47162502
apple users always assume hates no nothing about apple. in this case, the guy thought that the trash can from Pre yosemite dock looked like the mac pro for some reason. who knows why
>>47162533
*haters know
>>47162129
different design style from apple.
to be honest i think it is actually quite a beautiful laptop that is not trying to pretend to be a macbook.
>>47162488
oh, I see.
very clever.
yay.
>>47162240
ok. i mean the computer. I just personally dislike this kind of design, even though i used to like it few years back. that's all. I don't need to back it up with any articles, charts or video, I'm not so much of a /g/entoomen for furiously & blindly trying to change weak people's mind with my own opinion.
I'm just saying, that it's ugly from my perspective, even though I understand why so many of you here like it.
Long time lurker, first time poster. Pls be gentle :)
>>47162706
>had beats before apple bought them.
a true visionary
>>47162671
Whoah OP calm down the fuck are you typing
You can just say "I don't like the design that much" or something without writing this long ass shit.
>>47162706
Someone post that drawn picture.
I didn't buy a mac, so I had the extra money to build a 2x more powerful machine, and still had more left over cash to buy everything else.
>>47161107
this is the homo version.
>>47162729
wrong thread them dumbass. i'm sure your music sound amazing with that great PC you got
>>47162671
I'm the kind of person that when I get something new and shiny, I can't wait for it to be damaged and scuffed. It shows that I truly own the item and that it's being put to good use.
Thinkpads and the 'ugly' style fits a similar purpose. I worry more about the hardware on the inside rather than the appearance on the outside. Because I don't give a fuck what people think unless they're thinking of the inside, not the outside.
I have a similar interest in human beings and animals. I don't give a fuck what you look like on the outside, as long as you're good on the inside.
>>47162763
Woops, i forgot to put my alarm clock, errr i mean my iPod touch 3g in the picture
>>47162763
wait do people think Mac's make music sound better than usual computers?
wat
>>47162852
a musician on a mac will make better music than one on a PC, yes. not because of the circuitry or anything though. just the software and frameworks
>>47162763
implying there's a difference. With the right hardware and drivers it all sounds the same.
>>47162880
>With the right hardware and drivers it all sounds the same
that it does, but that "right" stuff is only on macs and OS X
>>47161107
Upper, middle, and lower class. Neat.
>>47162872
what
and a musician on neither a mac or pc will make the best of music
>>47162872
>a musician on a mac might make better music than one on a PC, yes. not because of the circuitry or anything though. they just don't know how to use a real computer

and he is wrong because?
>>47163090
Oh OK, i guess the ISS has no clue about computers either. who cares if they choose think pads right? they are just all retards up there
>>47163095
Because 92kbps is 92kbps no matter where it's played (within reason) and no amout of apple "magic" will make it sound better.
You are are a fucking idiot.
>>47163072
>"I am fucking retarded and will totally ignore the fact that Windows users can get better audio software and hardware and will only pay half as much as I do"
I agree

I have no idea wtf you're talking about, or how you jumped from musicians to astronauts. Troll level 9001. I'm done.
>>47163162
so everybody is retarded to you? that is your grand conclusion? the entire music industry?
>>47163209
that's literally aspergers
>>47163164
he uses the same headphones for both devices,
>wow it sounds so much clearer on my ipod.
You can't seriously buy into that crap,can you?
>>47163214
Did you just agree that every mac user is ignoring it? Everyone mac user is in my opinion retarded then, Yes.
>>47163249
I can. Lots of Android phones use shit amplifiers. HTC One has a good one but many Samsung's don't.
>>47163249
the sound curve can be different on different devices, especially if it's a beats branded hp or something

Jesus Christ you guys are retarded. I actually thought this board knew its software shit but apparently it's just neckbeards who fail both at life and at tech.
Yes, musicians and professional audio engineers all use macs.
>i-it has to be a coincidence, r-right?
It's cause of core-audio and logic you dumbasses. Also Protools runs smoother on macs for some reason.
It won't ever happen that windows will make its own DAW cause their whole user base is about muh games as it seems. Sad
>>47163441
also forgot: thanks to mac you don't even have to install a driver for your audio interface cause core audio gets way lower latency with core audio than asio does with dedicated drivers under windows

glad some more voices of reason have appeared. i felt like i was taking crazy pills for a second there
>>47161554
Separate devices are only an issue in typing sessions (essays, coding, etc.). Most text editors have bindings that move the cursor, so it's a non-issue.
>>47161958
I forgot, mac users are used to overly saturated colors on screens that are way too bright.
>>47163598
wait, PCs don't have brightness controls?
>What apps could you not do without?
>Dropbox, hands down oh and Google Docs
ayy
>>47163612
Yes, but a lot of people crank up the colors and brightness to 11 because "wow so vivid" and, as a result, everything they make looks like shit on a properly configured display.
>>47162018
ayy lmao
>>47161938
Get some solid wood cut into those dimensions and you won't have shit all peeling off of it....
>>47163441
Using Logic and Pro Tools are the 'Industry Standards' ill agree (i use both of these myself)
But you can get equal performance out of using Cubase (which runs slightly better on Windows) or Sonar
I mean christ, i record and edit in Pro Tools, mix and use any plugins in Logic then take it into something like Reaper or Studio one for its easier workflow in its mastering suites.
Then lets not even start with then taking the finished tracks to Triumph to add track stop/starts and the codes to the tracks
If you use one piece of software and stick with trying to do everything in that one suite you're just limiting yourself,
Or you know- a 12-year-old that cant explain what a compressor does on his cracked version of fruity loops
>>47163660
All that money spent... only gets a Logitech extreme 3D pro....
>>47163898
>you can get equal performance with cubase™ for only 700$
>then add a powerful CPU which is needed to compensate for the shitty drivers latency of windows
you might as well get yourself a mac and not need the unwanted hassle
>it just twerks
So, fellow macfags. How viable is installing windows onto a fast USB pen drive, e.g. Sandisk Extreme Pro
Official "windows to go" drives are extortionate (Roughly $300 for a 64gb one), so this seems like an affordable alternative.
>>47163660
I want to cum on your setup.
>>47164012
I know theres some latency because of the shit drivers, but ive never got a problem because most of my audio processing is sorted by the Saffire Mix Control ive got working with my Liquid 56
TBH, if youre serious enough to care about performance from your rig, you would only notice if you;
1. Record a LOT of audio (bands, orchestras, ensembles)
2. Make electronic music that needs a vast amount of layering (e.g. dubstep), but then again you'd go with something like Reason, followed by Cubase or Logic
3. Record everything at a high sample rate (rates above 48K) to compensate for time editing or dithering or whatever
And if youre doing any of those to a degree that high performance is needed, money isnt usually an object so its just a matter of what each person feels comfortable working with, since a baseline Mac Pro now will be able to handle any of above, and any windows machine at the same price will have hardware good enough to compensate
Reporting in with my minimalistic station
>>47164520
I'm a frustrated beginner who has to work with a shitty core2 duo processor and even shittier asio drivers for the scarlet. Even old powerbooks can get decent latency while I'm stuck with a bugged Ableton.
Can you actually get a non-buggy core audio with a hackintosh tho?
Where my macmini bros at?
>>47164587
Try to get your head around Reaper instead of ableton, the highlights for ableton are based around live use and its layout dousnt translate well into other DAW's
Reaper needs a hell of a lot less processing power, and there are plenty of free plugins or cracked plugins you can get to give you plenty of instruments.
If you do want to use ableton to do stuff on then try a hackintosh, it should work better on OSX but it still might be prone to problems if you try any live performances on it!
>>47164012
>>47163441
lol look at this desperate macfag
> To add insult to injury, XPSP3 completely wiped the floor with both OSX systems, the low latency results clearly highlighting the huge variable between the cross platform scaling performance - with and without Hyperthreading, and also highlighted that HT was scaling extremely well on the Windows platform.
> The further we investigated the more we discovered that there are some concerning arbitration issues within the Apple implementation of EFI that go a lot deeper than the commonly know less than stellar EIST - Speedstepping implementation within OSX.
> This is where the C States come into play which are core hardware level routines within the CPU in relation to clocking and thermal control.
> The issues are at very low level, which is not being indicated by OSX's inbuilt metering- for what its worth- and is showing that Apple's EFI implementation is not handling the Intel thermal / clocking routines well at all. The end result is that the clock speeds are constantly being ramped up and down even under heavy load, which is severely effecting the scaling potential.
> ...
> The results are in no way conclusive in regards to overall performance for each respective operating system, obviously with the Steinberg product the performance on Windows is far superior on the current revisions.
