Studio Artist and OS X El Capitan

I just got a brand spanking new Macbook Pro (care of Apple replacing my old one) and am thinking of living on the bleeding edge for a change and upgrading on day one (as I have to install everything anyways).

I saw an article that mentioned that Apple is releasing OS X El Capitan today and was wondering if Studio Artist is El Capitan ready?

  • So far we haven't seen any unusual issues running Studio Artist 4.06 on osx 10.11 (el capitan) in our in-house testing.

    If anyone does run into any issues associated with osx 10.11, please file a tech support issue describing the problem. But in our testing so far, things seem to be working fine.

  • Hi Chris,

    Is it one of the 2015 models? Which one? How do you like it? My MacBook Pro is starting to get old (2010) although it still works fine, but I'm starting to consider getting a new one. I'm a bit worried that nothing is expandable apparently in the new models. I changed hard drives twice on my current MacBook, and that's the reason it has lasted so long.

    • It's the mid 2015 15" model. i7 chip, 16GB ram a 2GB Radeon R9 graphics card and a 500GB SSD with retina. It is a snappy, responsive machine and is a noticeable step up from my old machine, a late 2011 macbook pro. I have had occasion to miss the ethernet port, but all in all I'm very happy. 

      I do worry a (tiny) bit about expandability. By the time my SSD gives up the ghost I'll be stuck needing to replace the machine but I figure that the money that I didn't have to spend on this one will come in handy by the time it comes to that.

  • Thats interesting. They replaced mine too. I had a 17" mac book pro and it's power supply failed. Theye didn't have any parts so they gave me a new 15" mac book pro with a retina display,  16 GB ram, i7 chip and a 750GB SSD drive.

    They apologized about not having parts, and hoped the new one would make up for it. "Oh yeah!".

    Always get extended care. Especially if you have an SSD drive. it is worth the extra cost.

Is anybody making a copy of all the material in the Tutorials Forum

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

The Overload

"The Overload"! A video with music, from the various experiments I made in Studio Artist with stuff that I have learned in the last few days, from tips and tricks I found by scouring this site and the Synthetik site for tutorials etc. MSG! Paint Synth with MSG Path Generation! Movie Brushes with MSG Path Start Generation! Time Particles! Time Particles with MSG Path Start Generation running Movie Brushes! All that, and more! Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…
