amp; i got that on my pc actually, aint been in the mood to watch it . feeling really sensitive mentally lately
the quality of the macbook ? i mean, for music - they are great for midi of course.. any computer is. you just want to get a reliable computer and you want to backup your data so you dont lose it when the shit (inevitably) breaks.
thing about computers is - they have a lot of parts to them. you know? adds this whole level of uncertainty to the process. lots of moving parts. my other gear though, they can break and have probs though but its not because something un-related to them broke and so they are now inoperable. you know?
i like OSX cause its straightforward and you aint got to do a lot of extra nonsense to get things done. i have lately been moving to all hardware tho because this SHIT happens to me at least once a year where a computer or hard drive fails on me. i have an MMT8 so its not too big of a prob, i can still do songs but ill have to record to minidisc or something. thats also what computers are good at youve got all that quick recording space and you can just store so much.
you should ask someone who has been doing midi/recording with a mac for longer than i have, like i think belb or jivv maybe i dont know

macbook still cost too much in my opinion. the older model g3 and g4 iBook and Powerbooks are more affordable and easier to troubleshoot.

I had an old g4 iBook. the battery life was 4 minutes and once a week it died for a few hours. I've been a Windows guy forever and every time I get a blue screen or a similar problem I always think "wish I had a Mac".
oh well. OSX is the shit, but it's not cheap to be a part of that experience, ifya na mean.

i never had never any probs with my macbook pro, it might get system overload, now and then with multiple midi tracks, but it's pretty solid most of the time. i use my mac like a sampler, a synth and recorder all in one. but it's better to just use it for recording and mixing, perhaps some automation. and get hardware for other things

razorblade; those zeitgeist films are totally bogus and the response to them is completely atrocious . why does it take these films to realize that government and religion and such are insane, corrupt and backwards? of course they are, they are born of human thought. there is no imagination involved. we have invested so much in trying to preserve our way of life and have created religion and atomic bombs to protect it. that is all that needs to be said, if someone is not bothered by this and is bottled by consumerism then let them be - they are part of that system. people are what they DO, not what they declare or believe they will do. for example; i have overheard conversations about the zeitgest films in starbucks restaurants.
