Still not sure if I'll be using VEPro much at all if the next Mac Pro ever comes out, but I went over and checked out how much the upgrade and an additional license was going to be at Best Service, then after doing all the calculations, adding my best coins, etc., etc., it wasn't going to be that much, so I went ahead and ordered it. Should have moved on this sooner, though, to have the taiko. What am I going to do without that??
I must admit that with these new developments from VSL (VEPro 7, Synchron), whatever OT is up to, whatever Spitfire is up to, the whole NKS thing, and how my life might be changed by going to one machine only with a new Mac Pro, I'm getting REALLY demoralized trying to figure out what my work-flow show be. I've also got MIR, and I never really exploited that the way I should. With VSL, I feel I'm floating in space between old ways of doing things, and new ways of doing things. Still haven't really warmed up to Synchron. I feel like all these things are pulling me in different directions, and I don't want greater and greater complexity. I don't want to be playing multi-dimensional chess all the time. And then, there's always the nagging worry of what to do when I need to access an old session. And the whole PITA when I do updates and everything has to validate everything else (several versions of VEPro, Logic, Machine, Komplete Kontrol, Maschine, Dorico and Finale). Updates often mean that everything needs to check everything else out. And the validation dance always seems to take place when I'm hoping to get some actual work done.
ARGH!!!! I wish I'd never been born! (Well, maybe it's not quite that bad, but it's getting close.
)
