Today, we begin a new chapter of the Friday Night Guitar Thread. It may seem drastic, but it's just another bump in the road. The FNGT will live on, as it is greater than any one of us and any one website. Come share some music that you made. Come talk musicianship and the things that surround it. Share the tracks you finished, those you're working on, and maybe some from your archives.

Remember, many of you will be new to Poal. As yet, you're still guests - until you truly participate. Let us act like it. Let us act in a way that makes Poal glad to have us and that makes their regulars feel welcome in our threads.

Finally...

Instead of lamenting the past, let's look forward to our future. We, unlike many, had the infrastructure to get the messages out and had a place prepared for this eventuality. Well, that time has come and we have a new home. Let's ride 'er 'til the wheels fall off.

Logic pro 9 on an 11 year old 3.2 core2 duo, 16gb ram. You're right to say how far sounds have come. Symphonic libraries(instruments recorded in absolutely every which way methods of playing) 8 years ago I only knew of ViennaStrings and was shocked to learn the price $18grand for their full library of instruments. But they sound so amazing.

So recently I looked into it again and there's so many options now. Albion, BBC Orchestra, ViennaStrings, and the best one for quality of sound(as of now) is East-West Hollywood Orchestra.

& eastwest is the first to make their entire library available monthly subscription at absolutely insane cheap price (files.catbox.moe)

Sale ends In a few days and I'm still thinking if I should buy the yearly for $200(at current discount).

I'm thinking I need usb3 connection & SSD would help. They ask that you install their sample libraries on external direct attach storage. I only have usb2, and only dual core. Might still buy it and upgrade next year when iMac releases their new iMacs with their new processor that will absolutely kill Intel and AMD machines.

I was going to buy their Orchestra library at $600(discount) that comes with bonus 3 or 4 other libraries. But since I don't know which ones I will really enjoy, ComposerCloudX for $200 for one year is the best option, and then buy what I like afterwards.

Mixing must be painfully slow on that old CPU. Do you at least have an internal SSD?

I'm a Linux user, as is the wife, so we have far fewer selections. Our bigger projects are put together in BItwig.

I've got an iMac from 2009. It's not th mac pro in which you could swap out components. No SSD. I did max out the ram on the machine now. Runs as it did when it was new, after the ram upgrade. But I'm at least 2 Os updates behind. Can't force the machine anymore without suffering losses I guess.

I don't know about mixing, but I can have ~10-12 tracks all at once, and tracks that I don't use at the moment I can 'freeze' and that frees up resources.
