🧵 So, the vintage #MacBook 2017 still does it with the #RME #Fireface400 and #Totalmix.
Unfortunately, I don't have my plugins installed on it since I only use it as a monitor mixer and recorder with #TotalMix and #Ardour.
Even though Ardour does recognize plugins used in projects that are the same on #macOS and #Linux, so you can copy projects around without any issue – not the case with #Cubase even between #Windows11 and #Windows10 and the very same plugin binaries…
Of course, #Apple enthusiasts will never accept that a #MacBook 2017 can be still used today at all.
Thing is, probably #Firewire via Thunderbolt3 (with adaptors) won't even work on today's Apple computers.
So, Apple folks must be making enough money with recording apparently to buy new computers and new audio interfaces regularly.
Well, things do work now, on #osX. Sadly, the cool #Bluetooth trick with #Pipewire playing back audio over a phone connection now has gone down the drain for this project…
