but basing the entire forum on "Powermac G4 music production" is too limiting since Many Mac OS websites for general help & support have fallen off over the years. We can all brainstorm and make the forum "better, stronger, faster..." and Bionic, So I would welcome another admin that can expand the non-audio sections of the forum, and Chris & Mactron can focus on the Audio stuff
ok this is news to me, as i told u before jerry, when i found the site initially it was called macos9daw so i had assumed audio was your primary focus... we have been focusing on the one thing that was supremely lacking on the net, audio production on os9, there was + is nowhere else to find this information, and it takes alot of work + effort to dig it up, thats why ive contributed my time + effort to making this information available to the world , whomever is seeking to find this info, now has a way greater change to stumble upon this site + find all relevant info with MUCH less effort then it took me to find, it took me years to find out all of the things i have posted here.. Also if you browse the content here, almost all of it is speaking about these applications + plugins. or the supporting operating system that is a requirement to run said applications.
as far i see it, there arent very many "still-relevant" uses for the os OTHER than audio,, and just like how you say on the site:
If you are working on the new Transformers movie or if you need to individually pitch correct a choir of 40 vocalists, then you will need OS X or windows 7 to create your 5.1 surround sound masterpiece. However, if most of your projects consist of audio and MIDI tracks that are mixed to a stereo master, then you came to the right place.
for audio: the delivery mechanism remains the same as ever, prerequsite: 1 or 2 ears:) no browser version update required
everything else.. its time has come + gone. Excluding maybe photoshop + illustrator art production.. but as far as im concerned, these old macs arent good for web design any more because they cant even render the websites you would want to work on.
one other thing i will bring up is that from what i have seen online, there is a large number of angry negative people (
common vernacular would refer to these people as trolls), wherever u go on the internet... these people tend to have a strong opinion and immediatey take a my way vs your way perspective + get rooted + throw down the gauntlets and get to fighting.. by any means neccessary.. there only goal is to win the argument and get some kind of rush but after the argument is over they dissappear back into the shadows waiting for someone else to pounce on.. they arent working towards anything other then to pounce on people and break them -- they generally have very little purpose other then to try to stir shit up + get people arguing.
i have seen this often surrounding people who are into "old mac stuff" espcially on sites like 68kmla etc people who are just cranky + uptight + looking for an arguement, i hope we can keep "on topic" and focused with some type of information as a goal. for me, i am reaching the limit now of having worked my way thru all the topics of os9 audio that i can brainstorm up, (as u can see i have 550 posts as of today, which is 4x what anyone else has added at least on this site) which is why i brought up moving into the realm of xp + osx is probably my next move having run out of things to bring up for discussion, so perhaps my additions to the site were only an initial push and maybe i can make another site of my own for osx + xp.
its funny because you start out by saying basing the site on powerpc music production is too limiting... but yet.. noone is really adding content regularly + continually here but me... and im just trying to continue my brainstorming + information research.. (which as i said, i seem to be reaching the end of topics to pursue) so in fact by you guys rejecting my proposition it is in fact *I* who will be limited as to what im allowed to be able to contribute
