In what universe does switching to a Mac to use Logic make more financial sense than buying a license for Ableton Live?
For what it's worth: if anybody else is facing the same conundrum, choose an OS-agnostic DAW like Reaper, Renoise or Bitwig, then it doesn't matter what OS you're on.
- nbzso 5y agoI done this with Affinity Designer and now when I successfully leaved marketing and public relations driven Apple, this decision is paying off nicely. Running Affintiy Designer under Windows 10 VM is non issue. OS-agnostic path is the only long-term way of working. Now under Linux I use Resolve, BitWig and Reaper, Blender, Inkscape, Krita, Emacs and I feel confident that no corporation will dictate my workflow in the endless pursuit for world domination. The reality is that we are living in some form of economic stagnation, worldwide changes are ahead and people will be poorer, this will drive Apples vision for 1000 dollars + smartphones and overpriced computers out of place. I have converted my business to ARCH and in the process saved a ton of money (previously dedicated to buy Apple Silicon). Now this money will be spend on my engineers not on some half-assed marketing plan from company out of touch. The only software that kept me inside Apple Ecosystem was Sketch. Since pandemic started for good or bad Figma is taking Sketch market-share, I don't like SaaS for design paradigm, but we adapt to clients requirements not to our own taste. I used Inkscape for interface design long before Macromedia Fireworks to offer a specific solution. So I am set for the future.:)
