I wouldn’t have thought NM was coming to Windows anytime soon, I remember reading that NM and Djay Pro AI relied on the Neural Engine built in to Apple computers.
A quick scan down the details page on the Algoriddim website unearths this quote:
“Harnessing the power of Apple’s Bionic chip for human brain-like processing of sound, Neural Mix™ redefines what is possible with mobile technology, music, and AI.”
That’s quite a giveaway saying that your average dual core x86 (or similar) isn’t up to the job!!
And that is one of the main disadvantages of Windows, there are far too many variables between machines, which makes the experience for the end user unpredictable.
£200 on a cheap laptop in Curry’s isn’t going to get you the power of a £1500+ bespoke machine from PC Specialist……
What might work on one Windows machine may not work on another and then the Windows crew infighting begins!
To be fair there are limitations on iPad / Mac users as well to ensure the software runs as expected.
Not all Apple gear is treated equally either, with some older machines not being supported. It’s only fair to say that the same would happen on Windows and even if anything we’re to come your way, you’d need a pretty decent machine to be able to run the software correctly, therefore there would still be unhappy people with older / less well specced machines out there.
One final point, Windows is an OS that can be placed on any machine, with any spec, by any manufacturer with a licence - thousands of variables - harder to program the code needed.
Mac / iPad OSes are placed on a machine which is produced by the same people who made the OS, and as such is a far less disjointed experience - only a few variables - much easier to program the code required.
Only my ramblings but I think Windows users will find their hopes / dreams have been effectively pi$$ed on by the above statement directly from the makers of the program!
