Yes, this is fun. Monome like business. Simple yet really enjoyable.

Love it.... Been playing around for about half an hour.

Made one and captured it with Quicktime and Soundflower.

soundflower looks pretty cool. i have much to learn on all things mac... going to order a mbp next week - can't wait

[Karlos Santos]

Im sure there are smarter or better ways of doing it but Soundflower is easy.
Just start it up.
Goto System Preferences > Audio and set input to Soundflower 2ch
Start Quicktime and record screen and set the input to Soundflower.
It records the screen and the audio from your browser.

New MBP is a joy... your gonna love it. Im a Mac fanboy, simple as that

i've often thought about getting a mac, just could never quite justify it to myself. i've never *ever* been a fan of windows and was running linux most of the time until i got fed up with booting into windows each time i wanted to use traktor and a mac just seems to do everything i need.

a decent (bash?) shell for working, a cool gui, the ability to run traktor+live and every mac user on the planet seems to say how a mac "just works"

i'll just keep my current laptop for linux and an occasional boot into windows... (not sure i fancy tainting the new macbook with a virtual windows session thingy )

edit: sorry... very OT

I use loads of OS's and don't buy a mac with the belief that it just works as u will be dissapointed. I think so many mac users big it up so much to justify why they spent so much on it. They are generally better for developing on than windows. as the hardware set is very limited so you don't get as many strange things happening as you do on a PC.

You should buy the mac for its design, reliability (no better statistically than PC's in the same price bracket).

buy a mac if you want, buy do it for the right reasons. Look how many 2 week old macs are for sale on ebay cuz ppl bought them and hated them. good place to look for a bargain tho.

sorry for turning this into a mac vs pc thread, I use both I just believe in way public enemy don't believe the hype

Absolutely love that! It's the beautiful little touches. Love the way it ripples on the grid when you hit a note.

Apologies for switching this slightly but to this comment:

Couldn't disagree with you more.

Granted, with macs there is the whole 'lardy da' aspect. There is the whole design and aesthetic appeal.
But reliability wise they relax a true part of your mind that is constantly worrying about fixing stuff. I've been PC user for years and have a Mac now.
It's the little things that you don't have to keep fixing all the time, when your sound card may decide to just stop working, USB drive not show up, Update mess up the machine, plug in a new product and it not quite work...so on and so on.
It's these things you just do not think about with macs and in my book that 'instantly' allows me to rely on it more.
So much so that I spend next to no time fixing or worrying about maintenance.

For me, it's that bit that does it more so.
