[Sandeep Sajeev] “Windows has come a long way and that’s not something I ever figured would happen, back in the day when I had a clamshell Macbook running OS9.
“Exactly competition makes everybody better. I also found there are many little apps and tweaks you can do make Win 7 feel a lot more like what you’re used to. I’m not trying to sell it I’m just saying I was pleasantly surprised when I installed 7 and even more so after I started to Google and then fix some of the things that bothered me.

[Gary Huff] “It’s trendy to do so. Makes you part of the “in” crowd.”
Uh well I didn’t do it to be in. I have a couple of programs that will probably never be ported over to Mac and are to demanding to use in any of those Win for Mac programs. Also I found Nuke runs better in Win 7 then OSX. It seems to keep eating up all of the memory in OSX and bogs, but quite a bit better with the exact same projects on the same computer in WIn 7.

[Jim Wiseman] “Life is too short to screw around with Microsoft. Fool me once…”
I have a dual boot on my MacPro. Win 7 works fine I don’t know why people hate it so bad. I do still prefer OSX for editing though.
But really at this point they don’t need any of this. I’m not sure why they bother with FCP X. They could get out of regular computers and the cash would still rollin in.

[Walter Soyka] “At this point, I don’t think it matters all that much to me whether Apple rolls out new Mac Pros or EOLs the line. The fact there was so much room for speculation has spooked me.”
At this point, and everybody knows it, Apple just doesn’t need this market anymore. It seems weird to do business with a company in a situation like that. It’s almost like they’re doing this for charity or something. I’ve still got a couple of years on my 12 core and who knows what will be available when I need to start looking again. I’m liking Apple less and less and they don’t need my money anyway so I might as well look elsewhere when the time comes.

I don’t know how much Cuda has to do with audio. I’m getting audio weirdness with no video in the timeline at all but then it gets better when I add a video file. This is at 1080i. Without video the audio randomly plays or doesn’t play and is sometimes extremely distorted.

I went back and tried a couple of things. Toggling settings does something but what I’ve really noticed is that the audio performance is terrible when there is only audio in the timeline. It’s also bad playing an audio track in the preview monitor. The audio would play one out of three times and would sometimes just go mute after a couple of seconds even though the meters are still moving. I also found if I took just random video and put it with my audio only track the performance when to what you would expect. Kind of an issue since often you cut audio first and add video later.

I’m having issues as well on my 12 core 10.7.4 Kona 3. Seemed to be good the last couple of days but all of the sudden it’s really crappy. Either audio doesn’t play at all, or is distorted or normal. Stopping and starting PB will rotate between the 3. Definitely seemed to get worse with just an aiff in the timeline with no video. Was doing ok with timelines with A&V.

I don’t think the new Mac Pro is coming but it is breathing really hard.

[Clint Wardlow] “I don’t know. I would kind of like to see big honking towers with lots of blinking lights and beeping noises. Maybe even a couple of cosmetic only reel-to-reels thrown in. A Mac Pro so massive in size I could design an entire room around it I am kind of retro that way.
“Yeah kind of like the Bat Computer that spit out answers on punch cards. That would be a real step in the right direction.
