![]() (2) Mac keyboards have "control", "option", and "command" keys, where the "command" key is the one you will use for cut, copy, and paste. (1) The "delete" and "backspace" keys on an Apple keyboard are the opposite of the keys on an Windows keyboard. īasically, there will be a few things that will take a bit of acclimation, a few of which will take time (primarily the keyboard differences if you are a touch typist), but most of which are pleasant and happy surprises: ![]() Regarding the apparent "kicking and screaming" aspect of switching to the Mac, until Mac OS X and the original iPod were released I did everything in Windows, so I understand this aspect of switching, although for me it was more a matter of being fascinated by Aqua (the visual interface for Mac OS X) and the iPod, as well as being vastly annoyed by Microsoft when they destroyed Visual Basic and then started doing all the paranoid Windows licensing nonsense. For reference, MOTU hardware has Mac and Windows drivers and so forth, but this is the first version of Digital Performer that has a Windows version. ĭigital Performer 8 (MOTU) is my primary DAW application, and it is very easy to use on the Mac, since the MOTU folks only did Mac stuff for a long time, although there now is a Windows version of Digital Performer 8, which is the first Windows version that MOTU has done. I have Logic Pro 9 (Apple), but I only use it to help Logic Pro 9 folks discover how to get Logic Pro 9 working with NOTION for doing things like ReWire, so while Logic Pro 9 is nice and full-featured, it is not my primary DAW application. I do everything on a 2.8-GHz 8-core Mac Pro (early-2008) with 20GB of memory running Mac OS X 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion), and everything in the digital music production universe works. Most third-party virtual instruments and effects plug-ins support several technologies, including AU, VSTi, and VST, but AU is a Mac-only technology. The Audio Unit (AU) technology is unique to the Mac, and it is nice and in some instances favored by Mac Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) applications, but it does not work with NOTION 3 or NOTION 4, since NOTION uses the Steinberg VST technology (VSTi for virtual instruments and VST for effects plug-ins). Not directly, but indirectly is possible and practical. Tombax wrote:Do the Audio Unit instruments, such as the ones which come with Logic, work in the same way as VSTs? That is, would I be able to use them in Notion?
