Mac vs PC?
I noticed a lot of producers use Macs. Is there an advantage to having a mac, than a pc?
here we go again...
PC: Price and variety of software
MAC: Stability and industry standard.
I won't say any more...I gotta go out. There's probably a dozen other topics out there where you can read up on this...

MAC
the problem with pc is that there are thousands of companies that make parts for it...and 70% of the ppl that sell complete systems try to make a quick buck buy putting cheap components inside or incompatible.from the specs it looks like a killer machine but acctually inside of an pc,companies tempt to add gear that will never work as the spec says,creating troubleshouting ,slowing down your "machine".i dont want to go deeper into the subject but dont be fooled by ppl that think mac is much more powerfull or more stabil than pc.try build your own pc...buying piece by piece and ansemble them at home....theres many tricks that you can apply on a pc to improve your work ....
CHEERS

Pc
Pc in my opinion only becuase mac reminds me of sega they always screw something up like building sytems into moniters and costing u a fortune to fix.
Software wise im a gamer so pc is a big plus.
apple just doesnt impress me i remmember my old mac i couldnt right click it sucked pc is easier for me to use.
And i know when i buy something it will work on my pc anyway so im pc all the way.

what
ahhh ok
any idea what hes trying to say im confused
mac is what all the bigshots use so there's got to be something to it....but pc is so versatile....you have more options with PC
i think
I think its just a gimmick personally i think that when someone heres one person say that this is better thna that for this.
Its like a fad nike sneakers and adidas there both sneakers made for walkingbut one person says ones better and there usually a big name producer and the newbs say ohh man i gotta get me one of those macs etc becuase bt says its better.
personaly i wouldnt spend my money on a mac becuase like i said they havent shown me anything special.
Mac is still better though
yep....good luck on your sale
Well Thank you
you're welcome
ok guys, this debate has been on since the antique times.
PC is versatile, Mac is stable, but Mac beats PC not only because of the powerful features that it comes with, but also, because you can install Windows XP or 2000 as a sub-platform.
This means that you'll have the versatility of a PC and the power of a mac in one.
I do have a PC now, and trust me, is a cheap ass compaq presario , with a Pentium III and 512 RAM, and still I can make good music with it, now imagine what you can do with a Mac and its sub-platform Windows XP.
going mildly off-topic here, but when you run windoze xp on a mac (I assume virtualPC?), doesn't it use up extra processor grunt re-routing all the calculations to work on a Gx processor?
Of course, that is a price you gotta pay, but , if use for example, a Power Core Mac G5 of 2.4 Ghz, it will be able to handle it really easily.
will be nice to see somebody opinion who has DUAL PROCESOR P4
linux!
The problems with PC come from windows, my linux box gets lower latency, pretty much every program is able to route audio to another, thru hardware too, doesn't have sooo much other crap that slows you down, you can tweak anything, all the software is free!
most of your vstis will still work.
but you do have to spend alot of time mucking around on your computer to get it all to work 
hehe, sorry, im still all excited from all the new things I have been installing
pc is faster and less expensive and doesn't have annoying cutesy icons. Basically you buy mac only because you think it looks cool and can afford it
