They already mentioned they're working together with celemony for a solution in an interview with a youtuber recently. Probably ARA 3 or similar major revamp is in development, which will support plugin sandboxing.

 

No Apples for me. I'm strictly an Oranges kinda guy......LOL!!

 

1000% with what @dkny said.

-as unless you have experienced what apple silicon can do, and so so quietly and energy efficient...well...

-the Motorola 68k to PowerPC to Intel x86 and now Apple Silicon happened over 50 years or so. I've got machines in all those iterations on ice should I need them. I've never been bummed out when they got better and what I wanted them to do.

-if devs drag their feet for so long after having been given a roadmap pretty well in advance, I've had no problem finding those that provide the same and usually better. I can live without "sausage factory" or whatever the f if that's what's lost in transition. Growing pains are part of life, and it's always been worth the tradeoff. It's not like windows arm machines are killing it, and if they want to compete (more so on the laptop region), that's gonna be even a bigger nightmare with so many sku's and moving targets etc, and depending on how they deal with emulations of x6, yeah, that's gonna be the same boat as rosetta 1/2, just more problematic. And thermal physics are kind of a thing, being hit hard and fast, and while I'm no expert, I just know that procrastinating or failing to meet certain targets probably indicates some future pain in that regard on those devices. But hey, I know and see modern desktop pc's performing great all the time.. and I wouldn't have the temerity to tell someone what they should be using anymore than what music they should like.

-I also don't remember anything Logic lost in the 32 to 64bit transition myself either. Some things were probably tucked away more (like the Environment and some others), but for reasons that became apparent, and one could always access them. At least iirc. And I've used Logic since Emagic days like v3.... And one could argue that that package represents probably one of the best values in performance to price and lifetime updates last I looked. (with all due respect to Reaper...as they are cool as hell too).

-and I'm not commenting to get into any os war, just reacting to the same tired old tropes brought up. Apple isn't perfect. far from it. And I also will use a Windows/Linux machines (just have generally used Apple's more as historically when I entered my career etc), and I couldn't care less to whatever someone else uses, as cool, if they are doing what they want to do with it, enjoying themselves, enjoy their hw and sw, and are actually making music or whatever other pursuits... all good.

so tl/dr: I don't know why in a thread talking about someone's fears of losing rosetta or whatnot has to bring that kinda noise , as I'd imagine your time would be better spent making music or taking a walk outside.
