butiezThe best Unix
Lol, Linux literally owns the server space, windows owns the desktop space, what exactly does MacOS Own exactly? If best means most pretentious then sure.
WaterSwordI would argue macOS owns the creative space (Design, Art and Music)
I would concur. You can record high quality encoded audio on your iPhone, audio design on your iPad with your other samples, and add the mixed soundscape into your film on iMac.
I literally know someone in the media industry who’s whole effortless workflow is what makes him a go-to guy for quick and flexible turnaround for audio mastery for films. He works exclusively on apple devices for this exact reason.
I’m not saying it’s impossible another way, but he really likes the ecosystem.
At this point I’d call it more of a legacy approach - they definitely still control the space, but the workflow is quite easily accomplished on other systems.
I’d also add many (SO MANY) of the pro audio and video systems out there are also running Linux, so even with sa mac-focused workflow, many of the pros out there are using Linux (often without any clue that they are).
So to me its similar to Windows on the desktop - its not necessarily the best option in all cases, but its often the path of least resistance. As a result, pretty much all of them buy into an Apple ecosystem from the get-go.
15 years ago you would get laughed out of art school if you didn’t have a Mac. At least that’s the gist I get from my artistic friends.
No one in art school cares at all about computers you use. At least that was true when I went. They would just get real confused when the buttons were different
That’s contrary to what my people have said.
Having been there. Wasn’t my experience. No one cared at all about platforms, not once was that brought up in a critique. If you could take good pictures, no one cared about the camera. The brand of paint you used didn’t matter.
people only cared if they could make their work better by using/doing what you did.
Maybe the tools are more important than the art now.
What years were you in art school? We’re taking 20-15 years ago.
I thought you were talking about something much newer.
Could just be the people you knew or the school. If you partied hard or were a good artist no one gave a fuck about computer platforms.
The only time it mattered is when someone insisted their work was better because of a computer choice and the work sucked.
