@Tamasg That's a new way to use my sounds. Very rhythmical in places lol

@FreakyFwoof @Tamasg those were your sounds? Cool! Yeah that was class!

@TomGrant91 @Tamasg Yep I did the sounds for NVDA Remote some years ago.

@FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 Haha. I had to record it because this may have been my only time to do it, VMWare Fusion under Sequoia not only began to compound-repeat keystrokes without stopping, but also layered sounds upon each other. All I had to do was do a connect and disconnect to the key of the Remote machine and it looped like that, I was quite amazed at how a bug can be fun.

@Tamasg @TomGrant91 Is there an issue with fusion under Sequoia specifically? Still on Sonoma here and we know that fusion has sometimes had issues with brand new OS builds for a few weeks or months after release.

@FreakyFwoof @Tamasg @TomGrant91 LOL! So glad I can use this M2 Mac as my main machine but have a windows desktop that I can switch to with just the press of the button on my KVM switch. I loved messing with VM’s back in the day on earlier Intel Mac OS builds but this Silicon stuff is crazy and I don’t like playing with VM’s anymore. Windows on a machine meant to run it is so much better particularly if you need peripherals to “just work.”

@GamingWithEars @Tamasg @TomGrant91 I used win11 on a Mac with proper windows keyboard passthrough for over a month. Did sound editing and all the things I would do on a normal machine, quite successfully too I might add. My machine was being fixed, so I was forced to make it work. I made it work.

@FreakyFwoof @Tamasg @TomGrant91 I’m very glad to know it can be done, but given you, “made it work,” sounds like there was still some headache(s) involved.

@GamingWithEars @FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 I mean, it's a bit dependent on your situation. I have a joystick here that uses unsigned drivers for Windows 7 I can still load on X86 Win 11 quite well if I disable driver signing, for example. You may not. I use my M2Max Mac with Windows at work for Slack and such, it works but as a primary environment I would hesitate a lot more to use it sadly, and it's a bit on Windows until we can dual-boot it, which will be, never. :D

@Tamasg @GamingWithEars @TomGrant91 In all the years I've had Mac, which goes back to 2014, I have flatly refused to even consider bootcamp. I've always used Fusion.
When I'm away from home for extended periods, being able to have Logic running and also run windows alongside for my email and browsing needs is priceless.
Switching in and out of one OS whilst losing the functions of the other is absolutely unacceptable to me personally.
Different needs, different use-cases of course, but this is also great for web-testing.
Want your site to be tested on Edge/Chrome on windows with NVDA/Narrater, all whilst running Safari/Chrome on MacOS in another window with VoiceOver, all whilst airplaying to the company Apple TV?
Easy.

@Tamasg @GamingWithEars @TomGrant91 I only use SoundForge in windows, I'm not recording there, usually editing recordings made in Logic, because I prefer editing on windows wherever possible. I can deal with the lag for that purpose, certainly. The more you do it, the more the brain adapts. You likely don't want to game under such an environment, especially for anything requiring immediate action, but RS Games for example, is more than OK. For true gaming you'd want a proper GPU and windows machine anyway, but for the kind of thing I do, that's not important.
