Nope.So Logic Pro running native Arm with Rosetta 2 plugs won’t work?
Yep.I kinda figured it'd be a cluster mess.
Nope.
Yep.
I think the problem is translation would be all or nothing. They can't glue together a native app with a translation of an x86 app. Not to say it's impossible, but I think it's likely to be a mess. From simple stuff like handling the dynamic linking and address space patchups correctly, to things like calling conventions and register management ... not worth the effort for the return I think.That’s surprising. If they can translate an app, they should also be able to translate a dll.
That’s surprising. If they can translate an app, they should also be able to translate a dll.
The juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze. Like promit says, it’s theoretically possible to translate a component, but by time Apple silicon macs suitable for music production come out, your favorite daw and plugins should be ported to arm anyway.
You guys know for sure that they don’t translate plugins, or just speculating?
which they outsourced to India and ported to Java
History doesn't repeat itself, per se, but it often rhymes....That's the sad state of the software industry these days. It may look good on paper, but you're getting a lot of these developers straight out of college. I worked for a company who did this thinking it would save them money. In the end we had to toss everything they did and rewrite it in-house with more "expensive" developers.
Yeah. Prob not doing the M1 mini after reading you can’t upgrade the ram without paying the ridiculous Apple price and no external GPU support:
“There are some other key limitations with the M1 worth mentioning. Macs with the new chip will not work with external GPUs, Apple says. That’s a particularly tricky constraint for the new Mac mini, which is already hamstrung by its memory ceiling and furthermore can’t be used with a more powerful graphics chip and enclosure combo, as some of have done in the past with Apple laptops and the 2018 and earlier Mac minis. Apple also says the RAM on M1 models is not upgradable — it’s integrated into the system-on-a-chip, so you can’t upgrade an 8GB model with another stick of RAM.”
