We’re Back!
Mar 4th
I’m happy to report that the forums are now back online. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of one of our members Glenn (KernelG) who spent the better part of 9 hours working on this. It was a massive ordeal that was way beyond our current capabilities. Glenn, we salute you!
The forums are running the newest phpBB software. You should see far fewer spam posts (if at all) along with some other niceties. The site is now on a modern platform that can evolve easily. The look of the site is also in flux. Kevin will hunt down a cool skin in short order. I’m already really exicted about the new tools avaliable to the moderation team.
In recognition of Glenn’s hard work and amazing ethic today, I’m making him a moderator of the site. He not only brings years of web experience, but an impressive pedigree as an electric musician and Logic expert. I hope you’ll welcome him warmly to our community.
***Note: I was asked to reset my password on first login. Kevin was not. Please let me know if you’re unable to get into the site at all. I don’t forse any major issues.
New Forums
Mar 4th
Hi folks,
I’ve opened up two new forums on the site today. The first is one for Sibelius notation program. We’ve had enough notation questions over the years to warrant the forum. It also helps that I’m a long-time Sibelius trainer and can facilitate helping out. Now that Pro Tools has Sibelius capability built-in, this move seems very timely given the number of Pro Tools users we have here at Mac OS X Audio.
I’ve also added a forum for Final Cut Pro. Many of us audio folks need to dabble in video at one time or another. Some of us do more than dabble. It’s always interesting to see just how different an audio person looks at a timeline vs a video person. This forum will be a place for all of us to discuss using Final Cut Pro. As I’ve gained some amazing FCP experience in the last year, I’m going to start as a moderator. Clearly, FCP is a big app and my gut tells me that there are other experts here. If you feel you can help out, please private message me. We’ll start out with the FCP app as the focus, and see how many questions come from the Final Cut Studio before we evaluate any sub forums.
As you can tell, we’re really looking to grow the forums. Got ideas for expansion? We’re all ears!

Apogee Drops Windows Development
Feb 26th
Given that this is Mac OS X Audio, this may not seem like the biggest deal. However for those who were looking for cross platform audio interfaces and considering getting an Apogee interface and FW card, or a USB Mini device, think again:
Apogee has officially announced that they are dropping all Windows platform development to focus solely on the Macintosh. Of course, you can still plug Apogee standalone converters into any Windows audio interface you own. And for those who do use their Apogee interfaces with Windows, they will still support previously purchased cards for a while.
The writing was clearly on the wall for a while, considering how much business Apogee has been doing with Apple-related products such as Ensemble and Duet, popular among Logic and GarageBand users. Still, considering how much of a potential market Windows audio users are, this decision could not have been easy, or made lightly.
Come on in to the Mac OS X Audio forums to read and discuss this further.
The Forums!

The forums are back online! Check them out here.
We’re happy to have them back, with 100% of the data intact. We’ll revamp the look and feel soon.
Thanks for your continued patience!
