    I like it when I use Ableton Live.

    I can load any of my projects and everything is running exactly how I left it. Any issues I’ve had have been down to 3rd party plugins.

    I’m fortunate in that this is the only thing I use my MBP for, other than accessing music stuff on the internet using Firefox with uBlock, which is synced with my phone.

    It’s not logged into Apple ID, and I bought it used. So there’s no money paid to Apple and as little data as I can give them.

    It’s my hobby, but if I were to do it professionally I would do everything exactly the same. Except I would buy the machine new.




















  • I don’t know, I’ve used Gboard for so long I don’t notice if it’s good or bad. I swipe and it almost always works first time, if not it’s got the word suggested.

    If it gets stuck, I start typing the keys and it usually suggests what I want. Same if I get stuck.

    Sometimes I use speech to text, which works about the same and often better. If I could master punctuation with it, I would use it all the time.

    When I type on a full size keyboard, it’s shit and takes forever. The speed on mobile is one of the main reasons I try not to use anything else. I can type at about the same rate as I can think of what I want to say. Tapping my fingers, I would have forgotten what I wanted to say before I could finish typing it.

    I’m really just typing now for fun and to see how many words I can get into a comment before it becomes dull.

    But then again, I never was very good at typing. Maybe that’s why it’s so much faster for me with a virtual keyboard.
