The level of Glenn's sarcasm is so high I can't tell when he's being serious
His acting is next level
I still don't know! Was he being serious?
I was thinking the same thing although he does use iOS on his PC.
Same. I feel like some of the points he brings up are legit but most of them are just him being sarcastic.
@@BrettMathe Mac OS. iOS is OS for phones
Therapist:
Yt friendly Glenn isn't real, he can't hurt you.
Yt friendly Glenn:
HAHA!!!!!
Every time “friendly Glenn” appears, I assume he’s not wearing pants with that suit jacket.
Wait! You guys wear pants with your suits? 🤯
You know damn well he isnt 🤣
Now time for Glenn to create a crazy uncle character and have him make a video in recording music on Linux.
*Amiga
I have heard that doing video and audio recording and editing in Linux is pretty great once you get past the configuration. I have never configured a Linux machine to do so. Is it more complex that setting up and hardening a server machine on Linux?
Linus Tech Tips is planning a Linux series, one of the requirements is to set it up for streaming and video production. Looking forward to that.
@@thepagnaet6361 I can't stand watching that hysterical soyface guy. His … colleague, the large one, is much more watchable.
@@helldog3105 Ubuntu Studio or AV Linux come set up out of the box.
"Listen to all the great music being made these days". .. your face still says "I'm dying inside" Glenn.
“For the non-tech-savvy amongst you …”
How polite he is referring to Bass Players and drummers today
Hahahaha 😂 awesome 👌
Hey! I'm plenty tech-savvy! I usually get the 9V battery block right into my bass, no later than the second attempt. Ok, sometimes it takes more, but usually no more than two!
@@0x777 😂
As a bass player I am not offended we only play as it’s 2 less strings to think about
...and voice actors.
How not to suck as a band? Buy a MAC. You won't have money for drugs and alcohol anymore.
@@AnarchistMetalhead Exactly!
But weren't the greatest bands in history always doing drugs?
Pink Floyd, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Kansas, etc
@@mgmg116 I don't think Beatles could afford drugs before their big hits. 🤣🤣
@@BettyTheRaccoon You may be surprised by the relatively low street price of many of them.
It was probably just weed and alcohol at first, and then they started experimenting with psychedelics

HEY BABY I THINK OUR GENITALS SHOULD COLLAB
Fucking can actually prevent some graphomaniac takes to be honest
Ironically, here Glenn looks like he’d be the PC in those Apple commercials with Justin Long.
With that said I record with PC and for my personal home use it’s great. I think if your system is able to get the job done with minimal bugs/hurdles then it’s a keeper.
I was typing up a comment to reply here (basically "I agree, the problems with Windows are real, but fixable and once fixed, it just works")
As I was typing, Windows 11 did a force install of some new driver and rebooted. I had like five seconds warning.
That's Microsoft for ya. Where else can you have a 35-year love/hate relationship and still not know which is the truth? Good DOS. BAD DOS. Good DOS. GREAT DOS! Horrible DOS. Good DOS but bad Windows. Good DOS and Good Windows. BAD DOS, but good Windows. What's this? NO DOS? And Great Windows? EVEN BETTER Windows?
Who the fuck is Bob?
Horrible windows. Great Windows but needs near server-class hardware to run, otherwise shitty windows. BEST Windows EVER! WORST windows EVER. Decent Windows? Oh, no, wait THIS is the worst Windows ever. OK sorta fixed Windows. Good Windows or bad windows? I CAN'T TELL! Controversial Windows that reboots your PC while you are typing and won't let you arrange your workflow like you have been using since 1995.
Glenn is reaching dangerous Dunkey levels of sarcasm.
Video Game Dunkey?
Glenn has just confirmed Knack 3 as a metal album baybeeeeeee
The fuck does Dunky mean? Also, what the fuck are robster craws?
@@poposterous236 they're saying it's going to be the first strand type album.

Ah jacket and tie Glenn, its been a while.
Was wondering how he's been.
Me: *pro tools flashbacks about his video*
Considering that the first thing I usually have to think of when seeing Suit-and-tie Glenn is the old bassist joke...:
"What do you say to a bassist in a suit and a tie?"
"Would the defendant please rise?"
...I have a hunch...
When Glenn puts the suit on you know it’s coming with softly spoken words to not offend the hipster coffee drinker. The sarcasm is off the charts
I was born without a sense of smell. Instead I can sense sarcasm, and oh boy did this video give me a nosebleed...
Very amusing and some good points made too. It’s really not PC is better or Mac is better. The fact is that your computer is just a tool and the best tool is the one that works best for YOU. Both platforms configured correctly are super for helping you create great music. The most important things?
The music and your ears
Oh my days, way to use so many words to say nothing.
@@muaddib667 actually it was a pretty damn good point. People beef about the "correct" platform to use, when they should just use what works best for them specifically, and whatever gets them to the place they want to be with their art.
@@phiwolgast do you think repeating nothingness makes it more substantial?
We've just watched 2 videos about the topic, we didn't need a pre school summation.
@@muaddib667 seems like you woke up today and decided you needed to fight with anyone. Chill out lol, you're wasting your energy getting heated about nothing
@@phiwolgast I'm chill, you seem to have climbed atop your white horse to defend the internet from itself.
Don't you have another fruitless crusade to go on?

As a linux user, when I see a Mac vs Windows battle, I just make some popcorn, take a nice cold beer and just enjoy the fight while I write nerdy things in the terminal.
Can you actually get work done? Cuz I was able to set up a machine to work with Linux Reaper and Carla (to load plugins) but it wasn't as seamless as I would have wished. Some plugins crashed. I just gave up. What is your set-up?
That’s the problem with Linux… I end up playing with stuff and tinkering the whole time. Then I find myself back on win because I needed x
Same here! :D
If spend your life in the command line Linux is great (sysadmins et al) - otherwise less so...
@@xxxxneoxxxx Yep. I use Linux Mint on my laptop for all of my work. Most distros are crap and nerdy, Linux Mint is more user friendly then the MacOS or Windows, and uses half the resources. Stable and friendly with zero forced upgrades is a winner in my book.
I see Glenn is cosplaying Dwight today. Hitting us with all the facts. Lookin’ good, Glenn!
Fact! Thunderbolt will not be supported in the future.
This looked awesome on my 64gb M1 Max. The 32 GPU cores really shined while making Glenn look stunning on the new screen.
Awesome comment 👌😂
32? The PC has been able to take GPUs with 1024+ cores for years !
@@2112jonr nope, not gonna explain the obvious…..
@@2112jonr have you heard of those m1 cpu ? Completely different tech than intel processors
I let my son play on the M1 Max, as a pro I prefer my PC any day, far more flexibility, and Glenn looks just as good, but then I'm not a snob.
This video deserves a standing ovation of 92 minutes of uninterrupted applause.
When gentleman Glenn comes around buisness gets serious. Even when he compares apples to lemons… Well done Sir!
I'll be honest, I don't have Chrome tabs eating up processor runtime because Firefox has always been a good enough browser for me.
Indeed. Firefox + Ghostery is the chad way.
Firefox is just as much as a ramhog as chrome is. Edge is pretty good at suspending tabs when you're not using them by default that is if you can deal with ms bs data collecting
@@xxlintux untrue. Firefox is pretty tame in that regard compared to Chrome.
@@xxlintux Firefox absolutely is. Check your Task Manager Folks . Yes I agree Chrome is worse. But I rarely have a bunch of tabs open while composing or recording anyway. why would you?
Firefox uses Chrome under the hood.
All jokes aside, the aggregate I/O settings on Mac are pretty useful. That being said, I'm a PC user.
You can do the same with ASIO4ALL on a PC.
@@jamesnelson9986 I know, but perhaps you've had better luck than I have with ASIO4ALL, because I could never get it to work properly. Haha.
I've found massive latency issues with my (brief) dalliance with the aggregate drivers, but that might have been as it was just a bizarre use case. Saying that, ASIO4all is an absolute nightmare.
Problem is, that it's a one size fits all audio driver that was last updated several years ago, so if any company relies on custom tweaking of an ASIO it makes the audio card unstable. I tried it for a while and ended up just biting the bullet and upgrading myself to a single interface with enough space for my needs.
@@TheEtherealRabbit Indeed it is a bit clunky at best... took me about 3 days to get my head around it. It is still being supported/developed although slowly - which is what we should expect when it's free. Like you I have an interface with enough inputs/outputs that I rarely use it - if at all now. 👍👍😎😎
@@jamesnelson9986 I thought it was an orphaned project. Last time I used it, it had a 2015 last update.
It's annoying, because it's a frightfully useful tool, and I kind of wish that we could have a purpose built OS level version, or something like the JACK system from Linux distros. (Unfortunately my reliance on certain windows vsts precludes my switching to that.)
1 Minor thing: some PC Motherboards come with Thunderbolt built in, perviously only for intel based systems but recently also for AMD Ryzen, which is neat
Yeah, but I wish desktop PCs embraced Thunderbolt as much as Apple did.
@@djazz0 Me too but pcie card would solve this too.
Asus x99 Deluxe 2 séries, comes with a card with thunderbolt ex3 amazing
He should know that, he has a hackintish lol. It’s a PC motherboard with thunderbolt that he has
@@phenixnunlee372 Still need a motherboard with a thunderbolt header......
Glen, you got me confused. You're being sarcastic while not being sarcastic at the same time. I love it
I love how Glenn tries to hold himself but gradually gets more and more aggressive xD
I recently switched over to mac and so far loving it for recording a programming. But my god, this video is spot on and hilarious! LOVE your sarcasm and love how you can poke fun at mac PERFECTLY!!!
Glenn takes the piss out of every side on this so much that I almost can't see where the critiques end and the legit points begin. Great vid!
I love your Creativity sir ...I did enjoy the other video.... Thank You for your Humorous and Informative Vibe 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥
I’m pretty sure that Glenn and Stevie T. are the reason UA-cam exists.
The short Glen made when Stevie T got hacked recommending a new instrument was peak UA-cam
Was waiting for this one, will watch it on my Mac :)
mehh!
You’re really crushing it with your videos lately, Glenn. Thanks for the awesome content!
Ah, the suit, that is the way to tell when you are pulling our legs.
Looks like you've lost enough weight to badly need a new suit, good on ya mate!
As for Thunderbolt, my 6 year old Eurocom laptop has Thunderbolt 3 ports. Native. On the board.
I'm running my Quantum 2626 through it right now.
He's Don Johnsoning it.
For me, it's the tie.
I bet its one of them nice mister Glenn in shorts. I love these sarcastic commertials.. You should do more of these.
I know there’s a lot of sarcasm and all in this video… But the plug and play nature of Mac is why I’ve stayed with the platform since 2005. I don’t want to do IT work I just want make videos and recordings. Having to figure out which version of the driver causes the least amount of issues, or figuring out why a service pack destroyed my ability to use low latency audio settings is why I haven’t tried to do anything more than send email on a pc in years. Also being able to airdrop files is a real timesaver as well!
I see that too. the sarcasm towards MAC is absolutely unjustified.
Airdrop is one of the best features of apple devices. I have a macbook, ipad and an iphone, with my ipad actually holding the most storage out of all of them. I tend to send files over to my ipad just as backup and using airdrop makes it super convenient.
Glenn has to preserve his Beringh... huh, early stage target audience 😏
Yea honestly I would just prefer if windows people used windows, and Mac people used macs. I have hated all this bickering in between for years, both have their pros and cons I wish we’d all just grow up
@@sgeggbub1008 I use both, lol. I run parallels on my macbook so I can still play some of my games that I love. Saves me having to spend several hundred dollars to get another laptop. Best of both worlds.
As long as the tech keeps advancing and one company pushes the other forward to keep putting out great products then we all win.
Great video, as always. Little piece of a warning though: A friend of mine watched your protools video and actually didn't get the sarcasm. He actually believed that the DAW impacts the sound. Best part is, he wanted to record my band in the studio. Needless to say we resorted to doing the recording by ourselves.
Loved the tear down of sincerity in advertising. Fun content!
Every time I see Glenn in a suit it looks like he’s about to head somewhere and all I can think of is HEY please don’t leave yet.
Yo, but the aggregate device function was an absolute game changer for me as a Helix user
LOL I watched your other video on Buy a PC and it cracked me up. Thanks. Now I'm a new subscriber. ;)
Hey Glen, I would love to know your opinion on Logic Pro, particularly the built in amp sims? They have given me great results when i don't have access to a real amp.
Glen please make "11 Reasons why Linux is BETTER than PC AND MAC at Recording!" I beg you xD
Unfortunately, Glenn doesn't know jack about recording on Linux.
You actually made a bunch of good points for the Mac… And Logic seems like a very good DAW for a reasonable price.
Logic is an amazing DAW if you use virtual instruments and samplers. Most TV/film composers i know use it. Metal production? Not so much. Also built in sounds and plugins logic comes with are top notch too! No need to buy kontakt if you have logic IMO. The built in drums and amp sims are weak though. Aka not for metal. Also editing is rough around the edges on logic.
Logic Pro X and Final Cut are the two reasons I'll never stop using Mac.
@@CreativeMindsAudio yeah, but… what DAW comes with decent amp sims? You pretty much need to buy something for any DAW you use, or use free ones like Ignition.
I can certainly understand the DAW loyalty, and a $1,000 premium is not a lot of money over the life of the computer. The real cost difference between PC and Mac ends up like $5/month, depending on how long you run your computers. Logic is the "killer App" for Mac musicians, essentially. I respect that. And budget-minded people can always pick up an older Mac, they are plentiful. Most of them have a 4k or Retina panel that is quite helpful for Studio apps. $500, $600, you've got a 5-year old Mac that has a good 5 years life left in it, or more. Even better if it's been cracked open already, and had the storage upgraded. All that said, I'm a PC guy 100%. There were no $500 Macs that could track 24-bits when I was coming up. You had to take some chances, troubleshoot, and cut a few corners if you wanted 24 bits under $1000 in 1998. But goddamn, it was so worth it. Peace out -
@@BearfootBob 100%! the thing with PCs is that they're more for gamers which games create almost a built in obsolescence to push tech further. You'll replace them every 5 years or so to play the latest games (aka more than just a GPU). Macs hold up longer unless you are doing video editing (that M1 max omg). I also agree on buying used! My first mac pro i got used and saved a ton.
also about amp sims: pro tools eleven rack was pretty decent when it came out... in 2009 😂. Yeah built in amp sims are often at least a decade behind in technology.
Probably one of your best videos. I couldn’t tell when you were being serious or sarcastic. And I like the clean version of you. Loved it!!
I love suit and tie glen, that pro tools video was too funny 😂
While I'm a PC user running Ableton, I'll admit that $200 for Logic X is an amazing deal. I remember learning music production on GarageBand and Logic many years ago, it's a capable program. I imagine it runs amazingly on the M1 macs as well
Naaa, it's just another DAW, Reaper Rocks, I try other DAW's but always come back to Reaper.
Mac actually helped me a lot though I confess it’s my first. I’m just a humble guitarist, not trying to be an audio engineer for anyone but my own writing tool. I had driver issues and trouble recording/writing on PC for a decade. Honestly I’d get frustrated, lose interest in trying, get inspired then try again only to be frustrated. My adhd isn’t as much an issue when actually playing but once I refused to take prescription meth (adderall) I cannot sit still long enough to read tech support forums while also shelling out cash for software. Mac really did solve it for me. Was it be overpriced? Yep. Was it the best computer? Probably not. Are Glenn’s criticisms valid? 100%
But if you’re like me and can’t tell ass from elbow when it comes to software, go Mac.
Mac works for every public, if you are a pro it will do the job. If you don't know enough to deal with software, Mac will make easier the Journey. I'm a PC guy and I love the feeling of building my own PC, kinda like the feeling of changing a part of your guitar; I love that lol. I believe that Mac can offer everything you need, but PC will offer everything you desire in your studio, the options are endless
@@ClaimedEagle hurt
Love the intro clip! Is this a one time thing or will we be seeing it more often?
Just so we are clear I have a MSI GE75 laptop with a stock thunderbolt port, Keep it up Glenn, Really do love this channel. His Attitude on everything is how I feel ALL the time
Freddie Kruger's night terror revolves around Advertiser Friendly Glenn
Salesman Glenn!! Excuse me, sir!! 😂😂😂 Had a feeling this is how the Mac vid would be lol!
I taught myself on Sony vegas pro. Now I'm using Movie Studio Platinum 14. Is there anything in the same price range that's a little easier to deal with ?
Hi Glenn, any chance you could take a look at the presonus studio live stage boxes, those things look awesome and have so many functions for their simplicity, its hard to get your head round.
Not gonna lie, I rolled my eyes when I saw Glenn was doing the "fair and balanced" thing. Then I noticed he was wearing the suit...
That suit is from the 300+ lbs years, isn't it?
ROFL. Glenn that was awesome.. wish I was a fly on the wall watching you record this. I started on PC went to the Mac mini m1 chip, both have their advantages for video and audio so I use both for streaming but mainly the Mac for everything else. My biggest issue is trying to get more than 4 cameras to record at once. Neither system is happy over 3 it seems.
Haha! Great video! Sometimes I can't tell when you're yanking my chain or making a good point.
Honestly most of these points are legit. Mac's aren't perfect but as you said, they are focused on getting creative work done and their software is amazing for that. Also, the software integration with the hardware has been, in my experience, worth it. I own both, and I do work/music on my Mac and video/gaming on my PC, so I think I can say this from experience.
xD!
Purchased a 2011 Macbook Pro at the year of release for about 1,600 US dollars, used it until 2019 (had 3 maintenances in total and one upgrade), sold it for 500 dollars and bought a 2015 Macbook Pro for 1,200.
Solid working machines. I'm very looking forward to purchase the new ones with the M1 chip.
Good luck doing any kind of maintenance or upgrades to any M1 Mac.
@@patriotbarrow purchase one, use it for a year or two, sell it and buy a new one.
Use the latest and don't lose value when selling the older machine.
Amazing video. If I wasn't following you, I would have bought every thing you said hahaha! Great work!
Thank you Mr. Definitely Family Friendly and Old Pal Glenn Fricker. I, a peasant, will take this commercial- er, video, as information I will remember in the future.
I bet this commercial, video, actually convinced some apple users lol.
Just on small correction. Thunderbolt is an Intel product in collaboration with apple so most intel based motherboards have thunderbolt by default. Plus now that AMD is bigger and bigger new amd boards have thunderbolt as well. Maybe that is why apple is dropping thunderbolt because of the new m1.
Just one small correction.. Thunderbolt*
Sorry. I couldn't help it. Sorry.
@@noice2378 thanks mate. Fixed it now.
Yeah was gonna say my Ryzen board has a thunderbolt header. Although also you do need to buy the official expansion card for that board. Although again, this is still quite a bit cheaper than buying a mac. Quite a lot of Intel laptops with thunderbolt too, my work laptop has it.
Apple is not dropping Thunderbolt. The new M1 Max and Pro models have Thunderbolt 4. The only reason the earlier M1 models didn’t specifically say “Thunderbolt 4” and were labeled Thunderbolt/USB4 is because they didn’t meet the spec of supporting enough external monitors, but the new Max and Pro versions do. Glenn was joking about Apple dropping it.
@@RonCoy got it. I dont really care about Apple so i am not really up to date so I was actually thinking they will change it. I wouldn't be surprised. Haha
This is awesome! Well done!
Anything on recording with a Linux Setup? Been curious about it since Reaper is available on Linux.
Trolling day ?
You forgot to mention mainstage, one of the best tools for live keyboard sounds and only costs $30 bucks… I’ve been using Macs since 97 and I agree with all criticism, they are overpriced and drive me crazy every time a new generation comes out and drops support to the old hardware. But macOS is easy to learn for someone who’s not super into computers and just wants to get some work done. I tried switching to PCs some years ago but got frustrated and switched back. And the new generation of Mac mini’s is incredibly powerful and not too expensive..
The m1 chip absolutely sleighs. It’s definitely a game changer.
this was brilliant :')
lowkey kinda wanted a serious take for this but i found this more entertaining
Hey Glenn I don't own any Apple product other than an iPad. I'm interested to know what you think of the iPad as a music production tool?
Man, I remember when Macs were actually good for creative professionals. Way back in the early 2000s it was a great brand. Now it's just PC parts at three times the price, running MacOS, and fucked with in a proprietary way solely for the purposes of removing the ability for users to fix or modify their product. Soullessly cloning the exact same items every single year with tiny, unimportant changes all in the name of selling yet another marked up Shitbox to replace the one you already have.
Build PC, pay 30% of the money. And wow... you can even reuse parts to upgrade in the future! What a concept! I've been running my Ryzen motherboard for almost 5 years, and it's upgraded into a couple different processors. The case and power supply I've had for over a decade.
I would have agreed with this in 2019 but things have changed tremendously. Apple is actually providing a competitive amount of power in the pro laptop space with the new ARM based chips.
🤡
Even if the hardware now is "better"... You're still completely at the mercy of Apple. I'd rather have my own PC I can work on and fix myself. If I did want a laptop, I could just buy a PC and install my own sticks of ram and storage without voiding the warranty. As opposed to paying like $500 for a few GB of ram on a Macbook. I'd rather save a few thousand dollars and buy a sick preamp or compressor something.
@@Hlecktro That is true. But it would probably have to be a laptop with a thicker form factor. Or a laptop that wouldn't have a 12000+ Geekbench multicore score. Or the extremely efficient memory management of Mac OS which makes it hard to go above 16gb of ram usage even with intense scenarios. Just saying that, even though Mac aren't for everyone, they do provide an excellent value in the price/performance aspect nowadays.
Up next, "recording on Linux isn't a total nightmare"
It's been about 6 years since I last used Ardour... I'm pretty sure it is still a total nightmare.
@@hiding_my_nameYeah, Ardour is kinda not that good experience wise. Personally I use Bitwig on Linux with Jackd and overall it’s pretty great! It takes a bit of setting up but once it’s all done really intuitive.
@@hiding_my_name it's been more than 10 years of me using Ardour/Mixbus, it's a very smooth experience. MIDI editor is still “limited”, though, in means that it doesn't have many “do the magic” buttons, and uses note color inside piano roll instead of “velocity pitch” in additional editor plane, which breaks some idiots' brains.
Looking forward for more of these !!!
Mr Gren Flicker LOL
Hmmm... What happens when Gren doesn't take his meds?
Super entertaining I can’t wait for my wife and I to get a Mac. Finally can start recording and editing and making music videos. Glenn you rock have a good day.
Not sure how much of what he said was meant ironically and what was really his genuine and true opinion…
Not sure how much of what you said was meant ironically and what was really your genuine and true opinion...
Fair and balanced pount of view? This is the internet this isn't allowed!!!!
Glenn,
I really needed a laugh and you gave me a great one!
I'm a retired mainframe/VAX (the DEC computer, I got my Covid shots) programmer and PC tech.
All of my electronics run DOS, Windows, Linux, or Android. I don't drink the Apple juice.
Another point not mentioned... the system level support for plugins. All plugins on Mac are organized in a system level library that makes them easy to find. It can be a real mess on PC with a million different folders trying to hunt down VST locations when installing a new DAW. This also makes backups much easier to manage. Not to mention the easy ability to transfer to a new Mac from Time Machine backup. I upgrade often and migrating to a new PC can be a total pain.
I lost it at the medicine bit... Go take your meds, Glenn!
This is a weird mix of sarcasm and actually good reasons for using a Mac :D
That was in a word, amazing! I haven't laughed that hard since the last business Glenn video.
LOL this is amazing! Literally some good points in there and some hilarious fluff stuff. Plug and play is righteous though.
he looks like a white Neil Degrassi Tyson
In a recent video meeting someone was trying to talk muted and I asked " "he's an audio guy isn't he?". Lol, sure enough... Of course he was and whole room bust out laughing. No insult to them though they can make a godly live mix.
As a Mac, pro tools, and Apollo Solo user, I love this channel.
Hello. It make sense to buy intel mac for recording?
I'm an Apple fan boy but not by choice. Apple chose me ok. Anyways, this hurt my feelings LOL
Happy to help!
The majority of modern PC motherboards have thunderbolt (almost all Intel and even x570 and b550 amd boards) on them and most mid-to-high range species include thunderbolt. Thunderbolt has been standard on PC just as long as Macs. I know this video is tongue-in-cheek but just saying that was the one bit of info that was a bit off.
The suits back 😂😂😂 you've got to do some more characters glen. So entertaining
You said "pain in the rear end", I died!!! This Jersey boy appreciates your sarcasm!!!
Apple people in suits… that’s the IBM dudes that had the mandatory suits.
Should have done this wearing rimless glasses and a black mock turtleneck for better impact. And one more thing, going A-hole mode was a normal Jobs thing, and Glenn, you have pointed this out about yourself many times in the past.
The one big takeaway from all this? There are no ideal, or even good, choices here. Windows is buggy and messy, OS X is buggy and user-hostile, and Linux has too much choice and not enough software support (although the latter is changing, with the new focus on gaming). Everything is a compromise, you just have to pick the least-bad option for what you want to do.
One side note: the Linux sound subsystem is miles better than Core Audio on the Mac - it performs better and is much more functional. You get full native control over routing between multiple hardware devices _and_ applications. You just have to work a bit harder to get to that point. The only thing it's lacking is industry support.
love the channel and the crazy insane Glen.
that's impressive acting Glenn! was waiting for the screaming the whole time and you kept it 'cool' almost to the end. and for someone with a naturally powerful voice it is hard to talk softly-ish for over 10 minutes 😂
Since you're wading into the OS wars, I dare you to try music production on Linux. I double, triple, quadruple dog dare you. You think you know pain. I can assure you that you haven't the faintest idea of what it means to suffer. But if you try to do a full mix on Linux, you will be treated to a veritable masterclass on the subject. The horrors that lurk within the open-source abyss will dash you to pieces upon the unforgiving shores of buggy, clunky software design. Even the likes of Adobe and Avid will seem a blessed salve upon the ruined husk of your soul. I wish you luck. And I humbly entreat ye to perform a thorough futtering upon thyself.
(Edit: Grammar)
Yeah Linux is amazing for some enterprise or very specific professional applications, but for the common user it can be really really hard. And that's because of how much of flexibility gives you
> if you try to do a full mix on Linux, you will be treated to a veritable masterclass on the subject. The horrors that lurk within the open-source abyss will dash you to pieces upon the unforgiving shores of buggy, clunky software design
Why am I having no problems recording/mixing/mastering on Linux? What am I doing wrong? I ask sincerely, I really have no problems. I just avoid plugins that are buggy, and you don't need a single one of them to finish a mix. I even switched to Pipewire for my audio server, to make my life harder (actually, to help developers catch and fix more bugs), but this shit is too close to be production ready, so we soon will witness Linux change its user space audio backend to something that rivals CoreAudio and ASIO combined in every single aspect, and that ain't joke: I already can use both my pro interface and home Bluetooth stuff as playback speakers just switching outputs in Harrison Mixbus or Ardour on the fly, just using a dropdown in monitoring section, so I don't need to render the song to hear how does it translate to cheapo hardware; and that's only the tip of the iceberg, just adding to overall level of comfort when mixing on Linix.

Welcome to dongle city
In my experience, Glenn would never be described as "subtle." BUT - this was one of the most subtle (and funny) essays I have seen. Well done!
I love these videos man !
Honestly, for the last 20 years I've had just as many and no more problems with pc as all my friends on Mac.
How about core audio, 5-12 times the plugins/tracks load capability at lower latencies for M1 and more stability.
😄 I'm a Mac user and i love dry humour. Thanks so much for the combo 🙌🔥
I love my IMAC and Logic Pro X... I composed a song on Garage Band.
Big thumbs up
