Storage / Re: Compatible SD-card reader
« Last post by Bolkonskij on March 25, 2024, 09:34:13 AM »
Add me in, a thumbs up from me! (it also reminded me that I should test my card readers with OS 9 ...)

May I inquire as to what you're going to use it for? Just for moving data between systems? Or something else?

Fortunately, I don't think we have anyone here that currently matches that description: you can see some beef here and there, but nothing that requires any administrative action. Not even close. IMHO everything here in this thread so far (and most other threads, although admittedly I don't track some of them, in particular the audio-centric ones) has been perfectly within what we can deem fair discussion, and despite different points-of-view, conclusions, attitudes and suggestions, nothing crossed any line here.

Let me see .. click, click.. (performs a coupe of forum searches, takes screenshots).
Is that kind of language/tone OK here? Wanna see some more? ;)

OK, I stand corrected. :( Surely enough, it involves precisely those audio-centric threads I admitted not to keep track of.

I won't butt in, though: that would only make things worse, and not help anyone from any side, since I'm not involved in the exchanges. Worst case scenario, I'm hoping you guys can at least ignore each other and move on.

HOWEVER, I think we accidentally started derailing from the thread's purpose a little, and I have some blame in that. So allow me to reiterate, for myself and everyone else: we were deciding on ideas on how to show off Mac OS 9's best parts "to the world out there", and on how we will maintain the forum space. I think most of us here have voiced their thoughts, and @Knezzen will set things into motion accordingly. We will again voice our opinions on the changes as they go.

I am incidentally writing some texts that might be able to help others get into OS 9 stuff. Hopefully these can come in handy someday for whatever new things pop up around here. :)

Content is not mine, I never use such wording. Just pointing to facts.
So, don't shoot the messenger.  :)

So, let's be civil, please. No finger pointing or childish games. We're all adults after all. Yes, you too ssp3.

Most, the majority, of the posts I've read were civil and generous. A few weren't. Other forums I've joined over the years, mostly about motorcycling, were quick to kick people off if someone pushed too far with attitude or word choice or tone. I urge you to adopt a similar approach. First offense, warn and close account for seven days. Second offense, remove from the forum.

We're all adults here, at least chronologically. I don't think it's too much to require us to act like adults. If I refuse to be adult, i.e. civil, boot me.

I think the occasional opposing suggestions and opinions are good, even, in the sense that we learn from them, and pick up the interesting bits. We move forward in a more informed way. We do not want an echo chamber.

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to vilify what you said. :) I do agree with the general point that has been raised (a bit too repeatedly by now, should I say) which is that we want 1. to keep things nice and civil and 2. to work together and/or move forward with things despite disagreements and arguments.

In conclusion, by contrast, if you do want to see what is worthy of a ban and administrative interference, though, look no further than @Rikintosh's pathetic tantrum (and, while at it, my very fitting response to him). That was a good number of years back, and that sort of stuff is not at all common here. But if it was, we would also handle it properly, collectively, as we did then.

DAW - Audio & MIDI Hardware / Re: metric halo built in DSP???

Just like these and they dont include the MIO algorith...

Or maybe it is only for 1.2 to not include MIO, only Smooth, Warm and Fast.

I am offuscated with the MIO thing  ;D

Yes, Smooth, Warm and Fast are only present in native versions of Channel Strip.
MIOStrip, in contrast, has adjustable Knee.

I've received a LOT of assistance in getting OS9 working on a couple of Minis and a G4 iMac. Grateful to the knowledgeable and patient folks here who put up with my ignorance and helped me anyway.

On another topic: I would love to learn how folks are using OS9 for daily tasks. (Not music, a world about which I am ignorant.) Writing. Scheduling. Shared calendars. Using the internet safely from OS9. Networking. And so on. Think "Office setting."

My goal is have my G4 iMac, a Windows box, and an newish MacBook working together enough that I can, for example, change a calendar event on one and have it update on the others. That's OS9, Windows 11 and OS X all playing well together. Being civil, you might say.

You asked. There's a start on my answer.

Thanks for asking and thanks for taking on this whole delightful mess!
