Look It Up |
In Snow Leopard, the OS has been made entirely 64-bit right throughout it's kernel and libraries with the exception of the Carbon library, which happens to be the library Logic is based around.
It's the same reason Photoshop and Final Cut are still 32-bit. Carbon is a legacy library and will probably be turned into an optional add-on within the next few versions of OS X.
Those apps which are based on Carbon (ie, those above) will need a complete re-write to be Cocoa apps from the ground up...

But if they want to do that thats fine. It's still a free country. For now.
I for one will be following the road less traveled to see where it leads me. |
A fair answer although I really, really do not believe mixing on a board is somehow technically superior to mixing ITB. Listening to the radio isn't going to tell you anything - everything is mashed beyond belief.
'Brick-style digital harshness' IMO arises when content is recorded, and then over-processed with a different final sound in mind. You put crap in, you get crap out. Computers make it easier to polish craps, but it's still a polished crap. There are PLENTY of recordings out there which have been done ITB which sound absolutely fantastic. There are also PLENTY of recordings out there which have been done on 'custom-built top-end' outboard gear, and sound goddam awful.
I also don't understand your '$100,000 mouse vs. a $50,000 SSL' logic - are you saying it's cheaper to buy and maintain a large analog console + outboard than to buy a good functioning computer with a good recording package + good plugins?
I'm all for doing things in an alternative fashion, but there are some routes which IMO are just not worth the hassle...
Just my 2c.
