RE: [microsound] Reaktor PC vs. Mac was: Re: [microsound] Re: max/msp for pc



just some thoughts on mac reaktor..

there are definite performance differences between the PC and mac...
when i bought the first version available for the mac i had trouble
running it for 10 minutes without it crashing... and found it almost
impossible to use (at least for the granular stuff i was using it
for) on a 333mhz G3...

i was suprised to hear that my friend dan abrams (shuttle358) used it
for live shows on a PC powerbook (as does vladislav delay, i
think)... LIVE!!?!??! wow.. i would NEVER trust this program live..
at least on a mac.. so, there must have been some serious performance
differences between PC and mac.

now that i have a 500 mhz G4 the program runs MUCH better.. and, when
NI upgrades reaktor to take advantage of the velocity engine (or,
let's hope, dual processors) then it will only get that much better..

just some thoughts..

and yes, those new titanium powerbooks look pretty tasty..
