Still have it (or a slightly later version which looks very similar) on an antique MacBook (the black one).
All the "friendly" stuff they’ve tacked in since has done nothing to improve it. At that time, the iLife apps, and MacOS in general, were beautifully straightforward and free of pointless cruft. And the package was compelling straight out of the box.
It was a simpler time.
I recall that version fondly. Honestly, it was maybe the most usable DAW I ever spent a lot of time with.
👍
I remember first seeing Apple's "SoundTrack" software that came in the Final Cut video package - wow, that blew me away.
I borrowed a copy overnight from a friend and stayed up all night playing with it before I had to hand it back the next day.
Anyone remember Casady & Greene's old "SoundJam" MP3 player software..?
I was so disappointed when Apple dropped Soundtrack. I loved that software. Used it all the time.
I first used GB in 2009/2010 and it looked almost just like this. Beautifully simple. 13 years later and I still use it quite often. It’s really great what apple managed to do with a free DAW.
Any Mac users remember first seeing "Switcher"?
I remember being amazed at it when it came out. My Apple dealer gave me a copy to run on my 512k Mac. Having several programs loaded at once and switching between them seemed like magic.
Same thing happened with HyperCard. My Apple dealer gave me a copy one Saturday morning and I went home and spent the weekend making HyperCard stacks.
Some of this iOS music software has the same impact on me.
I honestly do not remember "Switcher". I'll have to look that one up. But my father was a huge fan of HyperCard. Used it for software mockups to map out decision trees.
Was it the precursor to the Finder?
It was an extension to the Finder to launch more than one app, then it was integrated (as Multifinder iirc) and became standard, called Finder again.
MacOS was strictly single-task with background apps halted, except for utilities that used the Vertical Retrace Manager, an interrupt service based on the timing of the CRT screen every 60th of a second.
No, it was a regular program that you launched. Then you "loaded" other programs into it.
So you could have up to 4 programs all running at once - one on screen and 3 in the background. You clicked a little arrow to slide between them.
Didn't run on the 1st 128k Mac but did on the 512k and above.
Before Switcher you had to quit a program before you could open another one. The Mac only ran one program at a time.
Of course, this was before hard drives, so you were running all this off floppies. So you'd set up yor "system" floppies with a copy of Switcher on each floppy
