For producing electronic music, what do you prefer: Macs or PC's?
:confused: |

my friends who are music majors, swear that MACs are a ton better than PC when it comes to graphics and music. The music programs are easier to use . . .etc.
If I had the money, id get a mac instead of another PC. |

Well, Ill always love my PC, but after messing around on my friends mac computer, the music creating software is a lot easier to use then my Acid program for PC. Its much simpler and you gotta love the fact that Macs rarely locks up.
Im not a computer genius, but my friend said that Macs arent as big into multi task like the PC is. |

I'm using a PC hybrid right now, but would like to switch to a Mac.
For software, Acid Pro 3.0 and then some outboard stuff; Korg Electribe, Roland Sytnth, various mics. I'm thinking about getting Digital Performer though (Mark of the Unicorn). That program's the shiznit! |

| Since you brought it up, how is the Acid 3.0? I have the Acid 2.0 version and I have thought about getting 3.0. Since I just bought 2 turntables, my vinyl addiction has gone ape nutz so is upgrading to 3.0 worth it? |

Acid 3.0 gives all this hype about "great for remixing" yadda-yadda.
If you know your stuff, 2.0 works great. I wouldn't bother upgrading. It's really how you use the equipment. ;) |

Ive been spinning since May this year using mostly my friend's Technics because hes a "retired" dj. All I know is mixing and Im not too bad at it.
Im the few ppl on this world that prefer Stantons over Techies, so I just recently ordered Stantons Str8-100's. Im the type of person that likes gadgets and gizmos so I believe Stantons are heading into a great direction especially with the new FastScratch stuff coming out. Now that I will have my own tables, I can now do some serious damage without having to worry about my friend bitchin.
I have a decent Numark mixer because Im on a budget but in the near future, I would definately like to get Vestax 275 or even a Rane.
Again, since Im on a budget due to college, I dont have the funds to buy any vinyl I want so I concentrate more on buying sick vinyls that I would spin at parties. So that means. . . .A LOT of tech house, break, and some hard trance.

MAC!
that's what the software was designed for at first, and that's what you will find 95% of the time in the studios
I own pc/mac ... and mac owns the pc big time
so much more stable
and to the point!
NO FOOLING AROUND trying to get the thing to work! It's 100% uptime!
problem is ... they are more expensive, but considering the happiness you gain from them , I think it's all worth it.
While they are generally more expensive then pcs, the econo macs are starting to be extremely suitable for audio/top notch work |
