Steve Jobs - R.I.P.

Been using the new MBP for about 6 months now, and I must say it was a good investment. The unibody design is solid, the keys and trackpad are really nice. This is how a laptop should feel. I'm loving the performance, the programs, mouse pad gestures and ease of use. Everything is really intuitive. ...

All cool features. But nothing I would find particularly useful for my application. Maybe the additional gestures on the mouse pad would be nice. Other than that I don't see much reason to make the switch. Will be sticking with Snow Leopard... for now.

Currently in the market for an audio interface to complete my portable setup. All things considered, I've narrowed down the selection to the Apogee Duet and the Komplete Audio 6 by Native Instruments. There are pros and cons for both. The first consideration being the price difference. While Duet ha...

Hmmm curious... I recently purchased a new MBP. Had to return the original unit because of similar problems with the display coming out of sleep mode. From time to time, although the display and keyboard would activate, the image would appear as a scattered, repeated, static laced image that could n...

A few years ago this was unheard of. At least by the general public. The only drawback with the new MBP is the shortened battery life. From what I hear last years model could hold a charge for up to 10 hours. Thats down to 7 hours now. A 30 percent decrease in battery power. I guess thats the price ...

Really glad I waited for the new system update. The low end 15" MBP has benchmarks that blow last years model out of the water! Plus the Intel Quad Core I7, way cheaper than last years I7 Dual Core. Not sure I will ever need to the Thunderbolt technology. But I guess it'll be cool to have just ...

Nice.

Rumor has it the new Macbook Pro has already begun to ship to distributors, with a tentative release date of THIS thursday Feb 24th. I'm not sure how reliable this information is, but the 2011 update is so close I can smell it!

Artemiy, that's a pretty handy tip. Especially if you're going to work in multiple settings, or on different systems. Its much more convenient to have all your audio files in one place. The only drawback would be the amount of space used to saved audio as opposed to MIDI.

<t>That sounds like a really Awesome gig! Audio post production is something I've actually considered pursuing as a career. Its so facinating how sound enhances the mood and overall experience of video. In many ways, it sets the tone for a given scene even more so than the visual component itself. I...

<t>If you don't mind me asking, what kind of work do you do? Being that you use Pro Tools every day. I'm curious... <br/> <br/> I really don't have much experience with Logic. Pro Tools was the first music production software I learned, followed by Digital Performer. But I'm most comfortable with Pr...

<t>Thanks for sharing that link Leh173! <br/> <br/> The thing that is most appealing to me about the Macbook is the overall quality, stability and sheer power of the platform. On top of that they are good looking and fun to work with as well. The people at Apple really put alot of thought into their...

<t>Yezzir, I am in the US. But honestly, I really don't think I'd be able to wait that long for an update. Its been so much anticipation already. I just want to get my hands on the MBP and go to work. <br/> <br/> Hindsight is 20/20. And although I would've had an FX6 as opposed an FS just by waiting...

Thanks Kristijan.

As they say "Patience is a Virtue". But I want it, and I think I want it NOW!
