Guest theSun Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 so at my awesome new job i've got an fairly new imac to play around with. it's dual core 3.06 ghz only 4gigs of ram but it should be able to do fun things. i just downloaded vox to play music and to play around with effects and to not have itunes. i popped my cpu usage on the desktop and that's pretty kewl. this thread is basically for long time pc users who want to poke their mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KY Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 i just downloaded vox to play music and to play around with effects and to not have itunes. oh for fucks sake. why don't you just use a fucking pc in that case? "OS-optimized software? fuck that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 yeah if you've only used itunes on a pc.... you have no idea how bad you've had it. itunes on mac.... "it just works." lolz it's not great but it does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest futuregirlfriend Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I've been dual booting W7/10.6.7 for a few days so I'm interested in hearing about what I should check out too. I don't really recommend Fidelia for playing music. I feel like I've been spoilt with Foobar and MPC-HC on windows. UnRarX seems to be the decent unarchiver (unpacks multi-part archives with the least hassle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest futuregirlfriend Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Is there something that I can just point to a folder of flacs on another drive? Alright. Cog looks like it'll do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ricky Downtown Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Set up spaces. this is my favorite part of my laptop. You can run itunes in one space, firefox in another, pages in another...possibilties are endless really, and you actually do save a lot of time just by hitting command-1 or command-2 instead of minimizing all the dam windows.

chenGOD Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 get this: http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html never look back. Why would you pay for that when you can get Quicksilver for free? Oh and just use iTunes to play your music. It suycks balls on Windows - but it's great on the Mac. You will need Fluke to play flac files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KY Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 lol i meant no offense dude, deleting itunes is just a generally-unnecessary first step in getting a mac. if you have video-playback issues and don't want vlc, you can always get perian, which is...a codec library for quicktime i guess? definitely opens up the capabilities of quicktime a bit if you're into that.

BCM Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 VirtualDJ Home is pretty cool free mixing software available on the app store if you have it. Shit name but it's surprisingly powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you pay for that when you can get Quicksilver for free? it doesn't crash, for one. i kind of missed some of the QS features at first but Launchbar feels more lightweight, and last time i checked (after SL update) it seemed Quicksilver wasn't being worked on anymore so..
