Re: New Mac user, need help with file organization

With Finder active go to the top menu bar and open Finder > Preferences... > Advanced (tab). There is a section called "Keep folders on top:" which can be configured so that it sorts files/folders more like in Windows.

Re: Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard

Microsoft make money selling software, not hardware. I think they'd be throwing money away by removing COD from PlayStation. On the other hand, games that don't exist yet, such as future genres from the War/StarCraft universe that were already PC exclusive could bolster their Gamepass subscription ...

Re: Reason Studios updates their roadmap (November 17, 2021)

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed by some of these delays, but I have no doubt the core development team is working as hard as they can to get R12 into shape. I think it'll eventually get to where it needs to be, but that's not much consolation for pro users who depend on Reason every day...

Re: Reason 12.2.2 is out...

I'm a little surprised Reason itself doesn't automatically refresh its caches whenever an update addresses any related issues. End users shouldn't need to repeatedly dig into their system folders to delete files just to get the program to work properly. This R12 release reminds me of the way so many...

Re: Anyone use an iLok dongle?

I have 90 iLok plugins on hardware key and love the simplicity of it. Since most devs provide 2 or 3 licenses per plugin, I can either use them on a 2nd system with machine authorization or keep them as cloud backups in case my USB key is lost or stolen. I resisted iLok for years, but now find it to...

Re: Fender buy Presonus (Studio One)

Re: Eventide Plug-ins now Natively Support M1-based Macs

Kudos to devs like Eventide, Pulsar, UVI and PSP for releasing their iLok protected plugins early despite only partial (and less secure) M1 native support. Many other devs are still in a holding pattern until PACE gets the entire protection system converted over, but we finally got an update on that...

Re: Logic Pro 10.7

Catalina was a special case, because it removed the ability to run 32-bit software. That’s why so many plugins weren’t compatible for a period of time. Most OS upgrades (including Big Sur) don’t cause the same level of compatibility issues. I would say if a plugin still isn’t 64-bit compatible at t...

Has Effectrix improved over the years? I loved its predecessor, Glitch, but when they rebooted the plugin it never worked as well for me.
