The whole situation.
A: That I first got an intel Mac, had to ship that back, then wait longer for a PPC Mac propper.
This of course has nothing to do with the MorphOS team, but it added to my frustration seeing as I was psyched to replace my dead eMac and take advantage of all the new features of MorphOS 3.1
B: The fact that Apple insists that they are so artistic and innovative. That they sell a piece of software for musicians called Garage Band, and yet....
...with their smallest most space friendly model, which you would think would be perfect for musicians, they fail to include an audio in port. I wonder how much that saved them? 2 cents?!?!
OS X users can of course buy a cheap USB sound card and problem solved, but still that is lame.
C: The fact that the MorphOS team, as good as they seem to be about support and taking care of priorities...
...you know those things that are essential for a modern OS experience....
...seem to have failed to so much as touch Trident and expand upon the USB capabilities.
Everyone knows that there are multiple audio app options for MorphOS, some of those options are commercial or used to be, like the copy of Audio Evolution that I paid for for my old dead eMac, and yet, NOTHING has been done to improve Trident so we can start using USB sound cards. As a matter of fact, to the best of my knowledge, no effort has been put forth to add support for CAMD and USB MIDI devices either.
So for me, that is a major slap in the face. I was eager to use this, but now find that even though MorphOS has updated from version 2.7 to 3.1, that NOTHING has been done to prepare for the Hd-Rec updates, the new release of Digibooster 3 (which is commercial btw), or Audio Evolution, which again I paid for back in the day.
Nope, us Mac Mini users end up with an OS that runs great and does it all, but don't expect to use your basic Audio software to record into your machine because...
...well apparently in a USB world, USB is not a priority.
So far people have told me to dual boot into OS X as a solution, which again I find lame. The idea is to use MoprhOS and MorphOS alone!
Some people have suggested that I sell the Mac Mini and buy a tower, but I have no job, have to move soon, and basically do not have time or money to keep buying new systems, and besides a tower takes up too much space, the Mac Min is perfect in size and would fit in nicely with my recording studio, but again, providig propper support for the apps on one's own OS doe not seem to be a priority.
To think of the things I could do if I could just use a USB audio device like nearly every other OS in the world, but alas, I have to be stuck with a USB system designed for a limited 68k machine. LAME LAME LAME!!!
If I had money I'd start a bounty (I've always donated to bounty's before), but again, I'm between jobs. I was hoping this would just be ready by now and I could use what I paid for. :/
