While it’s undoubtedly important, it’s not the only solution for better performance, or even necessarily the right one, depending on your needs. That’s why it’s often a smart investment to spend a bit extra for more powerful components so your work computers can process more data, run more data-intensive programs, and keep more browser tabs open.ĭecades of computer shopping have led many people to believe that more RAM is the ultimate solution for improving PC performance. Not only that, but a slower computer could lead to frustrated employees, making your hardware investment as much of an employee retention issue as a technology issue. 3 The same study also estimated that waiting for an older PC to start up each morning can waste up to 11 hours a year. One study commissioned by Intel found that older, slower computers can make an employee as much as 29% less productive 2, which could cost an employer up to $17,000 in lost productivity for each older computer in the workplace. In a live performance situation (and even in rehearsals), I just don't want the stress of a "maybe it will fail" scenario when I'm in the middle of a song.Īs far as I can tell from having participated in these forums (and having struggled with MS) for several years), it is a wonderful app if your needs are simple but as soon as one needs to push, the limits are reached far too quickly.All the extra time it takes for an older computer (one that’s more than five years old) to boot up, load web pages, and run programs can have an impact on your bottom line. I don't understand why that doesn't seem to be obvious. To be blunt, "improved" is not good enough.
What would "improved" actually mean? That it won't break as often? It's certainly not as friendly as MainStage for beginners but darn it, it works flawlessly and that's all I care about. Didn't feel like paying for an update to see if the problem is fixed, particularly since, having bitten the bullet a few months ago to build my own implementation of MainStage functionality with MaxMSP, I've ironically ended up with an environment that's actually way more powerful and flexible in functionality.
