Don't Get Your Hopes On PT6!

[multipro]

My friend is good friends with one of the Digidesign Reps. He says it won't be here untill the End of MARCH!! If it gets here berfore then I will be real happy!

Hmmm? I have this beautiful Macintosh computer with OSX running like a dream- but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) I'm an audio geek that wants to run an audio application on the Mac with OSX.
I'm a patient guy...When are audio apps available again for OSX? I just wanna use what I have sitting here for audio- that's what I do.
PS. Maybe I have been swept away in all the hype
surrounding a release for OSX.

I think you are wrong... Digidesign is already scheduling local "tours" of 6.0. I'm scheduled for Feb 11th. I have never seen them do this (other than at a trade show) when they weren't prepared to sell AND SHIP units at the end of the show. I.e. the LE road show with the 001 and 002 didn't come around until I could buy a 002.

So... I'd drop the pessamism and expect it soon.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">There are a lot of great audio apps you can run on OSX, just not ProTools:

That's why I wish Digidesign would simply post OSX drivers for their hardware so we can use it.

Oh, come ON!!! Don't tell me you don't know about THIS SITE????

Hello again,
Nice links--I've been working in OS.9.xx for so long (as many of us)- I didn't know these were available for OSX. I figured I better get my feet wet because OSX is here to stay and it's also a nice environment to work in.
I don't intend to sound like I have just crawled out of a cave (not a cave but a studio) but I have been slugging it out here trying to get this latest CD done.
Bored though- seeing it's the dead of winter-
and can't wait to play (and work) with that new PT6!
Thanks!

Hello Slangification,
Thanks for the link--that answers the question on what's currently available (in audio) for OSX. I tried "Deck", for something to play with, but got bored quick - I will have to try the others.
Your right, it would be great to use our Digidesign hardware with these apps and, of course, PT.6
Thanks again!

They're both available for OS X.
