Got a new Mac Mini last Friday, and spent part of the weekend getting all my plugins moved over. Based on different things I've read about Catalina, I was expecting a shit show. But, it all went pretty smooth.
I've done my fair share of bitching about every company having an installer program, but it really made this whole thing a lot easier. I used Native Instruments, Izotope, Spitfire, XLN, and probably something else I'm forgetting. Aside from having to enter my password per plugin, no problems.
Live loops in Logic 10.5 is gonna be a game changer for me. The sampler isn't all that different from the EXS24, tbh. Movable fade in points per sample is nice, though.
Quick sampler is pretty rad. I recorded a percussion line I made on the modular, and was able to "chop it up" and use as midi addressable samples really fast. Would have had to do that by hand previously.
Drum machine designer, as it was previously, is a bit of a wet fart. It's basically just a stack of quick samplers. Ableton's drum rack is still miles better, imo. Plus it doesn't accept IAC bus midi, which I think may be a bug.
- just been checking out what needs done to get my hackintosh upgraded and ended up on the apple site looking at minis hahakingsteven
- I was in the same boat! Went with the i7 mini mainly because thunderbolt 3 support isn't there on hackintoshes, and I'm gonna upgrade in the next year.section_014
- Otherwise, I would have build hackintosh #3.section_014
- nice one..autoflavour
- i have tb3 working well on mojave with mine, but didn't work with the TB3 -> firewire adapter for some reason. There's probably a solution but I just got akingsteven
- 10 quid FW PCI card instead - now it seems that is one bit of hardware that has compatibility issues.kingsteven
