I'm curious to know why you guys and gals prefer Mac over PC.
A little background on the guy asking: my setup Home: Intel Pentium 4/1.8Gig, Creative SB Audigy Road: Intel Pentium M(Centrino) WinXP Home Cubase VST/(VST and DirectX plug-ins) WaveLab 3.0 Pretty lean right now, but I'm slowly building my setup. Most of what I do is sequenced, but I would like to someday build a home studio and have guests either sing or play on my tracks. I sometimes spend a lot of time on the road for work(the day-job) and I like being able to work on my music in the hotel room(can I get away with a PowerBook in a home studio setup too?) Any suggestions are appreciated. The J. |

Cool. More info. I'm glad I came here for help
 I'm not familiar with most of the apps U guys mentioned. Right now I'm using Cubase VST/32(PC) for mostly sequencing and recording, and the occasional midi input(mostly just for working out sequenced bits, which I quantize in the end anyway). My favourite plugins are Steinberg(Halion), Native Intruments(Pro52, Battery), IK Multimedia(SampleTank), and Waves effects plugins(Oh, and Warp VST). I've only used Steinberg's WaveLab for audio editing and have been very happy with it. This is my essential set-up. When and if I switch to Mac, Which apps do you guys(and girls) think I should switch to, or should I stick with the Mac versions of these(if available)? The reason I'm thinking of switching is now that I can afford a Mac, I want to think about long-term. It's going to be the central portion of my eventual setup and Macs seem to have a better reputation for stability and smoothness of integration. |
