![]() ![]() I have to laugh at that one, since the OS has many modules loaded on top of microkernal, you can slim the system down very methodically and only load what you need, No "re-install" the whole OS issues, just "turn off" what gives the crash. Emulation is for those that are using applications that have little or no interaction with outside hardware.ģ) Mac OS 9 "crashes" a lot. Emulation cannot communicate with recording interfaces and MIDI in the way that is needed for a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Now add in the whole "abandon-ware" thing and expensive programs that were now given away free because of OS X and it becomes a no brainier.ġ) Minority of a Minority.Yes, many that see the Inherit value of using an outdated OS are a minority of a minority, but they don't care they paid almost nothing for their Studio and they can actually produce real projects with self satisfaction and without the distractions of Facebook for a few hours.Ģ) Virtual Mac OS 9. They could buy (or even get free from scrappers) most of the hardware they needed. So creating a stripped down, fast, extremely stable digital Audio Workstation is quite simply and we wanted to document all the tips and tricks for musicians on a budget. Mac OS 9.2.2 is basically a modular system that can load an easily modified extension set. Windows has a spaghetti registry, and Mac OS X has countless daemons and agents. I also wanted to get meaningful tools and information to starving artists or beginning musicians that had little money. The reason I started the Mac OS 9 Lives site was because I recognized that there were musicians that utilized the aspects of the Classic Mac OS in their workflow, and that some of these tasks could not be easily accomplished or duplicated on other platforms. I would not consider myself as a "change-a-phobic", cheap, eccentric mac user that denies living in the present nor, would I consider myself stuck in the past due to an inability to learn new things. The Macs I currently use in my two Audio Recording project studios are several MDD G4 1.33 Ghz (with Xserve CPUs) running OS 9.2.2 and (4) mac Pro 8-Core Towers that all boot to Mac OS X 10.6, 10.8, and 10.10. Since I have had the opportunity (and the warehouse space) to store my computer collection, it has grown to over 100 Units with about 80 being Macs. I have been both a software and hardware consultant for small business, individuals, and have worked for a few major software labels. From PCs to Macs, from Novell networks to Windows Server 2008. I have worked with many personal computers and Networks on a daily basis since the late 80s. ![]()
