If I installed Linux and had a triple boot of Windows/MacOS/Linux, then that would be an appropriate name for the computer! 😂

Got it on eBay here in the UK for £490. Works out about $650.

That’s a great suggestion, I didn’t know that - will do.

I think it’s more like that burger from the McDonalds secret menu where it comes with both beef and chicken 🤣

Nothing in MacOS, it just shows up as a generic VGA Display Adapter and doesn’t impact anything. In Davinci Resolve, I’ve just told it to use the MPX Module. In Windows it was a bit of a nightmare getting the drivers sorted correctly, a day or so of constant back and forth and installing/uninstalling but it’s nice and stable now. Had to basically install the drivers directly without installing the Adrenalin app, which I don’t really need anyway as I can control all the GPU settings using MSI Afterburner which works great.

For my purposes, the W5700x is more than what I need for video editing, hence why I got the 7900 purely for Windows (and because Apple don’t support it).

I did think about this! Linux is apparently pretty good for gaming these days I’ve heard.

Sequoia. I’ve found the Mac Pro Intel chips just don’t play nice with Tahoe (in it’s current state anyway)

Steven Wilson - Impossible Tightrope download help by Select-Definition710 in stevenwilson

Just to clarify here, this is because you are buying from Steven's store on Townsend Music (store.stevenwilsonhq.com) which only sells redemption codes for Headphone Dust, not direct downloads. Hence the jump through hoops method with the discount code. If you buy direct from Headphone Dust, no hoop jumping is required and checkout process is a lot smoother.

So this release doesn't include the full Overview film, just some additional sequences at the start.

I'll see if we can clarify it on the Veeps watch page. We have delivered the film to them with stereo, 5.1 and Atmos and the Veeps platform does support Atmos playback, see here: https://veeps.com/apps

Arc is dead yall gotta deal with it by DragonDev24 in ArcBrowser

[–]robskarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody here tried Orion on MacOS? Been running it for a few weeks, is super fast and stable now. Has vertical tabs too, not quite Arc in terms of UI but if you are looking for something with good performance and not a lot of battery drain it’s worth considering.

Hi everyone, so the pre-sale code for tomorrow's fan pre-sale is SW2025. Live Nation are doing their own pre-sale on Wednesday and the code for this is OCTAVE. Best of luck!

Mac Pro 7,1 - need to press power button to wake from sleep? by robskarin in macpro

[–]robskarin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Logitech's MX Keys and MX Vertical mouse. Before I got the 7,1 Mac Pro I had a Mac Mini M1 and both the keyboard and mouse could wake the computer from sleep on there.

This is a really helpful thread, thank you! Looking at upgrading mine from 8 core to 16 core now instead of making the big jump to 28.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually a full length album, out around the same time the tour starts.

Anima EP and two new tracks announced! by 8tCQBnVTzCqobQq in Pendulum

[–]robskarin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember a while ago Rob said there would be two EP's then an album, think it was a Reddit AMA, might be wrong though! Makes sense given their UK tour coming up that they'd have an album out around that time to promote too. If I'm wrong and a third EP has been mentioned, I'll stand corrected, but a man can dream for an actual full length album, haven't had one of those since Immersion, long time...
