MacIntel Upgraders - what powerPC stuff do you miss?

register · Post by **register** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 4:32 am

hey, I'm lucky enough to have myself a PowerPC based desktop, and a macbook for gigging. Though I'm thinking of upgrading to having one machine, an all powerful macbook pro (as I'm getting into video stuff live, and the video card sucks on the macbook)
It's been a while since intel macs have been around now. Some developers have been pretty quick on the case (thanks ableton), other not so (ahem, native instruments)... and other's simply aren't on the case at all!
Just wondering, for those who've jumped on the MacIntel bandwagon, what apps / tools / plug ins are missed?

Kontakt 2 (hopefully out within the next few days.... hmmm we'll see)
Reaktor
Minimonsta
Oddity
ImpOSCar
M-Tron
Atmosphere
Trilogy
Altiverb
PSP stuff

There is a lot of great stuff available now though, and I'm not feeling held back on my Macbook Pro or Mac Pro system in comparison to my G5 in the studio.

the fishfillets bundle!!!!! oh please URS!!! give us the blockfish back!!

NI stuff and the TC Native Bundle, but there is no hope as it is already discontinued, what a shame, i miss the very distintive sound of the reverb from the bundle!

Pitchscraper! If I didn't upgrade, I would still be using that in EVERY one of my DJ sets (though I think my partner is pretty glad I can't). But really, if you're mixing hip hop (especially screw!), sometimes you just need to slow the record down.

Unfortunately, legal issues won't allow that to happen

I love that synth. Think it'll ever come out for Intel? I doubt it. Everyone who wanted it bought it. The most they'd get for porting it is a measly upgrade fee. Not economical I suspect. That sucks.

Apple's SECOND platform migration within the last decade continues to screw us.

If they dont wanna port for financial reasons then we should make
more financial reasons for them to do it.

And i am not talking about playing nice.

I got some funny ideas because i am not constrained by business models,
and I wont incriminate myself,

but

any suggestions ?
