I don't. That would be boring, and it goes against my nature. I don't want either to fail or win. Proof of the pudding is in the eating anyway.

Yeah I didn't get the impression from you.

Until I get my hands on it or hear some full-fledged reviews from people whose opinions I trust, I'm definitely leaning towards skepticism, just because I feel like that's generally wise when it comes to untested, unreleased software; I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed due to it n...

The people who have decided a pre-version-1.0 program is superior are deluded as well. You're not suggesting I'm one of those people? If this is not the case, please accept my apology - but that is certainly the impression I have gotten from how exuberantly I have seen you defending and promoting t...

Yeah, I wouldn't expect disk latency to be an issue during realtime VST performance, since most of that is calculation/RAM-based (with the exception of some samplers, as I understand it) But then again, my knowledge of hardware/software interactions is minimal at best That's what I thought, DFD sam...

I absolutely do have a problem with fanboys, because they delude themselves into thinking Live is just fine... What about people who have decided that an unreleased pre-version-1.0 program is in every way superior to a mature, proven, currently available product that they've already made up their m...

generally speaking it involves piping data via a file on disk. getting data across a process boundary is an overhead no matter what design patterns you apply, but compared to all the other processing a vst has to do maybe it's not such a great CPU overhead. I'd be more concerned about how small the...

yeah - I forgot about that - I suppose if it's unix only then they can use shared memory, pipes, signals, semaphores etc. but if they do that then it's difficult to stop the processes crashing each other Well it's not unix only, I don't think they're taking that approach, they're not going to use O...

Ordinarily it would be, but if they're using modern code it will be fine, the fact that they're developing for Linux shows that they're bare metal coders.

Thanks for posting!

I nearly fell asleep watching the video. Wasn't a good sales pitch at all. I'm sure it will do well enough when it eventually appears but right now it's not even remotely tempting me. Actually, I thought the video was good. I felt like he gave honest and informative answers to everything. He seems ...

I bet you are a drunk driver too, certainly seem the sort.

Well I wasn't expecting that reply. Weird.

I don't want to get into some petty argument with you - it will only piss other forum users right off but I do feel I need to explain where I'm coming from. I don't care for Bitwig as I am happy with Live. It really is that simple and I'm amazed that this is difficult for you to grasp but then appa...
