However, this piano did not produce the ideal tone I sought. I played with pleasure on this well functioning piano, which had a well-balanced touch. When I got a 1973 Pleyel grand piano, he reconditioned it beautifully with great professional skill. He is always interested in the state of the instrument and always tunes it to my satisfaction. He comes on time to his appointments and when he is delayed, he lets me know in a timely fashion. He did this better than the previous tuner and that gave me confidence in his work. I met Jos years ago when he came to tune my piano. I've played a lot of good pianos and my Hamburg Steinway sounds and feels every bit as great as those few early Twentieth Century Steinways that I fell in love with when I was 18. ![]() So I asked the best piano player I knew in Holland, Reiner van Houdt, for a recommendation and he told me that he'd played on old Steinways that had been rebuilt by Jos and that they were terrific and that was good enough for me.Īnd Reinier was not wrong. I have been a Steinway loyalist all my life but even good companies have their bad periods and I didn't want to pay an ungodly amount of money to have the piano restored by Steinway at a point when Steinway is making/selling/promo-finessing second-rate pianos and naming them after unfriendly cities. But it was a Steinway and I had played some wonderful Steinways of the exact same vintage so I was hopeful. ![]() Rich found it on it's side, leaned up against a wall. It had been donated to the school years ago and never used. They were actually going to throw it out. My manager Richard Guy rescued a 1910 (1911?) Hamburg Steinway Grand piano from a music school in Coventry that was closing.

![]() I'm not sure what about iTunes they are concerned about losing with an upgrade, but I understand it.Īrrrg, I just purchased Affinity Photo V2 after seeing Patrick Conner's post about being able to get V1. There are plenty of applications that are running on MacOS that were written for Intel based Macs with no issue on the ARM processors thanks to Rosetta.Īlso, Microsoft (and others) are offering ARM based processors for Windows that does the same for X86(_64) based applications but not as well. Windows 10 has many different versions which have already reached their end of life. The joy of having to rewrite a lof of code, just because the hardware manufacturer decides that ARM is the future. A lot of professional audio software was very late to migrate to Apple Silicon. Will probably still be supported in 3 years, when it becomes 10 years old.Įspecially as a development platform, this has gotta suck. Windows 10 is 7 years old, and still going, in the sense of being supported by current software. To be honest, that's one of the reasons why I don't buy Macs. I have appreciated having an option to use non subscription graphics suite (didn't buy V1 publisher at the time). So it's on me if I really want to keep putting money into expensive computers and keep buying programs. Now retired from graphic design and only do small jobs once in awhile. I've been very lucky and had a good career that I loved as a graphic designer. I guess only large design firms get the clients that care about excellent design and have the clients that will pay for the talent and skills. There are some clients just don't care that much about quality design and skills and are okay with just getting the job done cheaply. The graphic design industry has changed a great deal, there are cheaply priced designers that can be found online from overseas. I used Adobe Creative Suite it for so many years that I was super fast and knew where every tool was and all the key commands. I am not as proficient with Affinity Photo and Designer. I get that's buying V2 is a good deal but at this point I am trying to make the decision if I am going to keep doing freelance work. Um I did not complain, it was a suggestion to Serif Affinity, to make V1 available for people in the same situation as me. Its a fantastic deal especially considering that V1 will get some compatibility patches. Serif team responded and says they can give V1 licenses when V2 is purchased. It is also an excellent option for experts in the field.Point is the Thread here is about a user who complained not to get V1 licenses. Moreover, it is a reliable and affordable alternative to a lot of popular apps for vector graphic design. Well, if you’re looking for a powerful art tool to prioritize colors or a fast workflow, then this is definitely a great choice. Should I download Affinity Designer on my iPhone or IPad? However, if Serif keeps its enhancing pace, then we will soon see Affinity suite on the same par as Adobe suite. The application is still in its developing stage. As an example, there are numerous artboards, access to savable history, customizable shortcuts, and alignment elements as well.Īffinity Designer helps students and freelancers to have a powerful yet low-cost substitute for highly expensive apps and it makes their work more effective. Nevertheless, this app is provided with lots of features to improve your workflow. This is because the menus fly out and twist all over the place and of course that may make it difficult to find a specific tool you need. As a consequence, working with different types of files will not be a problem.įor beginners, the interface of Affinity Designer may seem uncomfortable to use. Among them are PSD, PDF, JPG, SVG, and so on. Important to mention, that Affinity Designer supports a large number of file types. There are also myriad industry-standard tools like a pen, brush, eraser, and zoom tool. That can be even more effective with the use of a stylus. Its vector tools help to draw everything the way you want with accuracy. ReviewĪffinity Designer is a fast and smooth application that provides precise vectors for all your graphic design needs. Affinity Designer is provided with numerous features such as a rock-solid vector toolset, unlimited artboards, and live pixel preview, thanks to whom you will be able to create professional designs. It was made to precisely design professional marketing materials, websites, and icons on your iPhone or iPad. ![]() ![]() Affinity Designer is a vector graphic design application, created by Serif Labs. ![]() James Madison, looking and playing with a lot of confidence, never backed down against a team expected to contend for a national championship.
