hi,
I bougt my first mac (Ibook G4) 2 weeks ago. I really love the OS. Now I am thinking about bying a desktop computer (powermac) for proffesional purpose. I'm a musician and I'd like to make pre-productions on a computer. I have been working with cubase sx on a pc so far, but my pc is no longer powerfull to serve my purposes. If I would switch to mac, I would have to use logic (as cubase isn't really working well on mac) and buy all the software I already have on my pc. I went to the music shop who has 15 years experience in studio en audio software. He deals bought mac & pc. His answer was clear: if you buy a powermac, you pay double the price than for a pc, which will do the same job perfectly. the only difference is the OS. AND, you pay 3000 Euro, for a machine who has only 512Mb! I respect his opinion, but I keep looking for different opinions. I want to do a serious invesment and I wonder If I should buy a mac or pc. I use it for recording audio (not more than 8 tracks) and combinen it with midi Can anyone help me out? thx fanatics & radicals, please spare me your comment. only inteliggent computer users. fanaticism leads to aggresion. Respecting each other choices is the better way, that's my opinion. |

i have just bought a mac after years of using a PC. Im curious as to whether the 'stability' of apple machines will be justified with the heavy pricetag, but i am willing to give it a shot.
XP frustrates me. Midi drivers not loading properly, audio interface drivers not loading properly, sequencer crashing every few hours, the lsit goes on.... only time will tell |
