Its not a lie, parts of the movies iron man and thor where done on pc's using Daz3D.

lots and lots of outdated gear being used by a guy that has a huge following in Europe, all run by a hardware sequencer, no pcs. PC's are good for a studio environment, then the midi file is transferred to a hardware sequencer. simple really. no one made any mention of server or corporate stuff either.

• it's their own ecosystem.* just like my little ecosystem, a private little intranet of windows98 and windows XP happily making music for 20+years. each to their own.

your argument is flawed.
