Apple Wins the 2002 Technical Grammy Award

Posted by pudge on from the win-an-oscar-and-we-can-talk dept.

Therlin writes "For the first time the first technical Grammy given to a PC Company, and that company is Apple. From the original Macintosh with its built in recording capabilities to iTunes and iPod, Apple has stayed ahead of the game." See Apple's Press Release for the official spin.

    Far as I know, more release quality music is done on an Atari ST's than is done on a Mac. Why not give them a Mac? They were revolutionary. But oh yeah, they're not cool.

    All the ST could do was MIDI sequencing. And the main reason people used them was they had built in MIDI ports and were cheap! Steinberg made music software for the ST and the C64 too. Most pro studios run ProTools on Macs nowadays to record, edit and mix audio. I remember two years ago when every Grammy winning CD was either recorded, edited, mixed or mastered on a Mac. I'm a musician and run a few apps, mainly Stienberg's Cubase VST on my G4 using an M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 sound card for both audio and MIDI.
