By the way, to once again put up a little defense of
people on Windows and
Mac, I advice everyone to watch a masterclass with Ritchie Hawtin, a
popular minimal house producer and dj. It is available on YouTube and he
speaks about how he is using a modular software and hardware setup by using
MIDI and OSC to create a complicated audio and video setup. It is amazing
and it shows that many people on Mac and Win are experimenting and even
writing their own software for themselves, like Richie Hawtin and his team.
To be fair I wasn't really slagging off Windows and Mac users. Most pro audio
engineers are using those after all. I'm just bemused by the attitude that
audio processing tools should be anything more than that. Pretty pictures
and dumbed down control ranges don't help me make better mixes, they just
get in my way.
