There are plenty of pcs, but some plugin vendors are mac 1st and windows later, maybe if we can. Mac is more compatible out of the box w the music industry. Mac /Logic is what i use, generally works great, can be complicated, i know it well enough to record but there are alot of features. I Agree about the Universal Audio platform being almost as important as mac or windows decision. I've been a studio musician since my late teens (I'm 72) and I've seen both sides of the and Universal Audio Apollo. The Video Editing industry has already abandoned Apple years ago for this reason, and Audio has also. Adobe Audition is superior to Logic Pro, I've used both and Adobe actually wrote their softrware.

Apple is a slimy American company, Americans should never buy anything from.Īpple is the Great iNOvator, they did innovate Out-sourcing / Off-shoring US Worker Jobs a the hands of Steve Jobs.Īs to which is best for Audio Creation and Editing? You can't install anything (cards, video accellorators, etc) in a Mac, you can with a Windows PC workstation you can upgrade the processor in a Windows PC, any of the OEM hardware and power supply, and that is the whole story. What does Apple Make? Greedy Obscene profits off gadgets made by underaged kids and farm workers in China sweatshops for $1.25 - $1.75 USD equiv per hour. MacBooks and MacPro all engineered and made in China, same for all Mac and Mac Pro's, while Apple did have an "assembler" contractor in Texas to assemble high-end Mac Pro's just so Apple could claim something was "Made" in the USA (with 100% China components).

Hyundai engineered and made the original G3 iMac in South Korea and continued thru the last of the G series iMacs, then Quanta (Dell) in Taiwan got the contract which then moved to low-bidder Hon-Hai (aka Foxconn China). Apple hasn't owned a factory since 1990, ALL Powerbooks from the 1st to 1999 were engineered and made by Sony/IBM at their joint design and factory outside of Tokyo. Apple doesn't innovate anything, and they don't make anything either. they BOUGHT it from the original developer company. Is I wonder how many of you know that Apple DIDN'T even create Logic Pro, or Final Cut for tham matter. Reaper DAW, which has many advocates, also runs on Linux. Buy a "$75" ebay off-lease pc box to install to.

Dust it off to do a full install or research how to make a Live-USB and you can test it on something current without installing to the hard drive. I assume you have an older PC kicking around the home lair but too old/slow for Windows. Multi-track recording and editing capability without excessive DAW complexity. Have you tried Audacity ( )?You might start there, and find all the 300+ plugins for effects. Not buying $1,000 phones has enabled me to buy more guitars! They have their fans though, who don't realize the 'higher quality machines' are made in the same factory with the same parts as most of the other PCs. I got out of the Apple cult back in the 80s for the same reasons and they haven't changed on either the desktop or phone fronts. My intro to Beato was the video prior to that Hackintosh video, where he slams Mac Mac Buyers Guide from MacRumors.the best on the ‘net: Lots of solid facts and informed opinions: The forums as Macrumors are great as well. Try the Gearslutz forum, thats where the DAW recording ppl live: If you want real in-depth answers TGP is not always the best place. Spend the money you saved not buying Apple’s RAM on a 7200rpm 2-4TB external USB3 drive.Īvoid Fusion drives at all cost. You can easily upgrade the RAM up to 128GB so I’d get minimum 8GB and then buy the rest from OWC and install myself. If I was in the market for a new Mac I’d buy a maxed out 27” iMac w/ a 1 TB SSD boot drive.

You have to take apart the whole box to make it happen which is a PITA. They are great if you have no plans to upgrade and just want a stable build with powerful PC parts.Īs it stands now the Mini is a good buy *but* the problem is that while the RAM is upgradable it’s not as easy to do as in years past. I’ve built a few Hackintosh boxes in the past 5 yrs for other people.
