POV: Adobe's disabling Creative Cloud Animate and this is now your primary work machine

@mcc @jwz it’s pretty common to still see circa 2013 trash can Mac Pros and the like in music studios, unconnected to the internet, never updated since the initial install. Because when it works, it works.

@Tijn @jwz Someday I'm gonna take my unplugged-since-2009 "wind tunnel" G4 out of my storage unit, and I'm gonna finish that album.

[tijn@dosgame.club]

@mcc I'm happy to help you mix/master it if you do!

[fiend_unpleasant@mastodon.social]

@mcc I forgot these existed. I wanted one sooooo bad in high school. Too bad there aren't many ppc linux distros anymore because I could see me hacking one together for ham radio digital modes

@Tijn how proficient are you with Logic 4

[tijn@dosgame.club]

@mcc Actually I've used Logic 5 a lot!

But I was more thinking of working with rendered audio haha

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@Tijn Oh, that kind of mastering. Yeah that is actually something i have never properly learned. the closest i've got is writing a entirely custom compressor in C I used on some tracks.

one of the things i might do during my monthlong recovery time is try to finally learn Reaper.

[tijn@dosgame.club]

@mcc Yeah Reaper rules - easily the best DAW out there nowadays imho

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@Tijn and it runs on Linux, so I can actually still use it unlike almost every other creative app I know

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@Tijn Also Logic 4 is missing some crucial affordances from 5…!
