Don’t be frustrated!
Windows are ■■■■ always have been.
My first Mac was flawless it’s just old that’s why I got a new one.
Macs are overpriced garbage for what the hardware actually is. Also try gaming on a Mac, oh wait, ya can’t (particularly VR gaming).
My first Windows XP device was flawless, would I still use Windows XP today? Hell no. That’s such a ridiculous argument.
For Djing and Video mixing - Macs just work, plug and play, not much tinkering needed, no funny drivers business, they hold their value (I upgrade my mac every 3/4 years and I almost always get 70 -80% of my cost of purchase (I buy mine stateside).
I have a couple of Windows machines as well - Dell XPS laptop, and a Desktop running 3900x + 3080FE
For DJing - mac, my backup djing computer - mac
For word, excel and general interneting Windows 10
I have no desire to try gaming on a Mac I’ve got a PS4 for that.
I’ve updated the firmware (again) and so far it’s worked but still a few issues.
So the “It Just Works” argument… really working out for you there…
That was my problem exactly. I uninstalled the Denon driver and it connected after a restart. It’s worked like a champ w Serato and no connectivity issues since then.
