Hello there. I'm new here I'm considering to get a Mac (I think it works better for making music - and this is a question I'd like you to answer).
I am new in music production either.
Should I get a Mac? Is it better?
thanks

1st 'apology'-- Sorry but I have no internet connection at home so that's why I'm late about checking your posts.
2ndly I have to say I'll buy a new Mac and very possible a Mac Pro (and by telling this does not mean I have a lot of money to spend).
Motu 828 firewire looks very attractive to me.
As for gusp74, I very pleased you fill me up with infos about the equipment.
Mac Daddy, you'r right about the expression 'relly good ideas'. Maybe I'm very enthusiastic.
No I am not that rich or tough but I CAN love the quality in psytrance/ambient and shit after watching this scene for 8 years (OK I agree with you, maybe 8 yrs are nothing). The only I ask is a guide from people who know things about Macs and music.
Could anyone tell me something about Sound Forge 8.0?
Shall I combine this with Logic?
thank you once more...

There is no Mac version of SoundForge, SoundForge will only work if you run windows on an Intel MAC; Blasphemy as far as i'm concerned and you will need at least 3-4gig ram to Run both OS X an Windows at the same time while running intensive Audio applications. An equivalent program for audio clip and loop editing might be Recycle or PEAK pro 6.
The MOTU 828 Firewire has the advantage of having a set of Audio Units that will run natively using the MOTU to do the processing and leaving your CPU to do the rest.
