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. |

I still have Cubase SX3 on my PC as I wasnt too sure myself when I finally switched over. It would be unfair of me to comare the two as my PC cost about 1000 (I built it myself) and then cubase was #399 when I bought it, from memory. Whereas so far my Mac including everything else has come to nearly #6000 so you cant really compare them.
Out of the two - I defintely prefer logic. However, I am very new to Macs and still find it confusing to use, you can see that by my wrong answers above. I would say that Cubase is quite easy to use even if you have not used a sequencer before. Whereas Logic takes a bit of time and requires more effort from you to get the most out of it. The plugins that ship with Logic are quite incredible, especially the Guitar Amp Pro, I have never heard anything like it from any other software. If I were going to be on the road and wanted a package that could pretty much be a complete studio out of the box, I would go with Logic.
