Mentioned in this October 26, 2020 OWC Radio interview.
Okay, I have to ask, I don’t have the equipment you have, but I’m looking at four different computers in front of me. What are all those different computers doing for you on a daily basis? What do you use them for?
So I have them running samples. So I write in Pro Tools, which is unusual. Most composers tend to write in Logic or Cubase. And I have to say, I really, really like Logic, and especially with the way that it integrates with the new Mac Pro, it is amazing. And then, what I use is a thing called Vienna Ensemble Pro, which is a piece of software that allows me to network together and feed sound from them. So I have one computer, for instance, that has all of my string libraries. And then I have another computer that has my brass and woodwinds, and another computer has all my percussion in it and another, and so on. So that I’m using different libraries so that the central computer, the Mac Pro 2019, is acting sort of like an input machine. And everything else is being served off the different machines. I can do it all internally in the Mac Pro. I find that serving it off different machines just seems to work better for them. The new Mac Pro is ridiculous. And when I have driven it with hardware, I’ve got to a point where I’ve had 270GB worth of data taken out of material with samples. Then the Activity Monitor is still only at 40% with 700 or 800 tracks. It’s ridiculously powerful.
