I know this is hardly the place to ask it, but is anyone
out there coding (or using) any ahlf decent audio software
on Mac?

there isn't much out. my advice is to go down to mac os 9.2,
you can use pretty much anything then. wait until more
comes out for os x.

i'm messing about a bit with supercollider 3 for os X, other
than that i haven't found much to play with really. Haven't
d/led gcc for X yet, but i really wouldn't know how to go
about writing doing audio stuff cos /dev/dsp isn't there.
Have to poke about a bit more, get the developer CD stuff
going.... Ziess.. what are you writing?

I'm writing a sequencer cause i'm too skint to buy one and
pro tools free under OS 9 just don't cut it anymore.
I like the idea of apple bundling the developer tools with
all new macs, its like having a spectrum again!
You from Aberdeen?
I'm form Falkirk.

yea, cubase looks good, im also pissed myself about logic
and VST.

well, it really depends whether the 3rd party developers
will adopt audio core/units, whatever they're called - but
again, the transition phase has got to suck. hopefully it'll
be worth it in the end.

kontakt x or halion x would be nice too - :),

Remember tha theres no point in being pissed about a lack of
VST in Logic cuz
a)It may well be added at a later stage,
and
b) All old VST's and VSTi's would have to be re-written to
run under Mac OS X.
c)Audiounits are better than VST.
More low-level integration with the OS (core audio is part
of the kernel) and better peformance, less jitter , lower
latencies etc.
Audio units and core audio is/are the way forward.
See
http://www.apple.com/macosx/audio
for a fuller explanation.

"I'm writing a sequencer cause i'm too skint to

use supercollider...! www.audiosynth.com that way you don't
have to completely reinvent the wheel. I got the guts of a
nice little multichannel/multifile sample editor going in
it. An environment for doing tunes in is my next project :)

"You from Aberdeen?

nah mate i'm from aberBEEG :) it's in wales. it's a
shithole. Actually i should change that cos i live in
swansea most of the time now, which is also a shithole.

:)
