You can use ableton to record with if you want.

I like Adobe Audition. Been using it for years. They will be releasing a mac version very soon.

There is a really good burning software that's the equivalent of Nero for mac called Toast by Roxio.

Check it out.

I don't think that too many ppl are going to debate that Mac's are better for production, graphic work etc...

They're just overpriced for every day normal use...

Although, my next laptop will probably be an iPad...

other than longer battery life and being lighter overall than a standard laptop PC, Macs aren't much better since all software used is the same.

Ever since they've been using Intel chips, it's only a status symbol/hip thing to have a Mac

For movies use VLC. It can play almost anything.


I have tons of Blu-Ray ripped movies in the format of .mkv and they work fine and audio is perfect.

i dont think thats the only reason.

Have you considered using Logic btw? It's a powerhouse and I def recommend having a look at it before you jump into ableton.

I know you mentioned wanting to be able to collabo with PC users, but that's kind of irrelevant. There's many ways you can do this. Just because you have a Mac (and mac only software) doesn't mean you can't work with others that are using a PC.

Not every producer out there has a Mac, how do you think they collaborate with producers that do..?

I've been using Logic for a couple of years now and I can't tell you how amazing it is.

Anyway, if you're looking for that full, robust audio production program, I would say give Logic a shot.

what software, exactly, is "the same"?

I should've been more specific. "applications" you can get almost all on both windows and mac os..meh..

let's not make this a debate as he previously mentioned

If i could afford a mac, I'd get one and run win7 off it

(only cos of portability of the macbook)
