And it’s nothing the hipster’s brand has available at this moment, as I just proved. Well, I’m pretty sure most people here don’t run commercial studios, so whatever brand prejudice is common with the “cool guys”, it’s totally irrelevant when you’re trying to build the best DAW system money can buy. ‘Give them steak and they want Mickey Ds’. Just try to explain a VEP network to a client and watch their eyes roll back in their head.īesides, over time any 'puter will end up paying for itself. (we are still in the set-up/testing stage)Īnd the client asks 'do you have the new Mac pro and you areĪble to say yes and what day and time do you want to come in. So we just grabbed one last week with two 4k monis to come. Right or wrong, the Mac name sells itself. One cannot discount the value of ‘marketing’. However if you are running a recording studio for a living, I totally agree with your very informative post. External drives aren’t exactly whisper-quiet, just think of all the additional fans you’re bringing in your studio… Oh, and if one day you decide you want to do some serious video editing, all you need is to buy a pro-level video card, like what you find in the MacPro (only way less expensive…) Like I said, flexibility is the key… You’re paying a lot of money for a beefy video card (which you don’t need) and zero space for additional internal storage (which every DAW machine needs.) If you consider the amount of computing power you can buy with a Windows machine (actually you can buy two or more for that kind of price…) and the complete flexibility regarding storage, video card (or lack thereof, since the newer Intel graphics are more than adequate for DAW work), etc., I think switching to Windows would STILL make a lot of sense.Ĭonsider that for the same price of a new MacPro you can buy an entire VEP network, with a master and two slaves, at least nine internal drives and cases that very successfully reduce fan noise (like the Anthem Sonata III.) You can’t get any of that with an Apple machine. Type zebra into the search box you used earlier - Windows will find all documents with the word zebra inside them or with zebra in the file name.The new MacPro is definitely not a machine designed for music. Assume a "lost document" contains the word zebra. You have no problem with documents from the old PC which you brought over on the USB stick.Ģ. Now you cannot find all of the new documents you wrote - you can only find four of them. you wrote some new documents on your new PC Searching the web finds no user reports of data loss after switching it off. Hence I cannot see how switching it off can have any effect on user data. See Switching out of S mode in Windows 10 which says S Mode is an "enhanced security" mode which only allows you to install programs obtained from the Microsoft Store. You need to look elsewhere for the problem. I can see how it looks like it was switching off S Mode which lost the files but I cannot believe that is what happened. If it had it would have deleted other user files like photos etc. Much as I criticise Microsoft for outrageous incompetence I very much doubt that removing S mode deleted your AOO files.
