I'm on an Intel IMac since September 2006 and had not a single crash since then while making music. All Mac vs. PC debate aside- this stable enviroment is all I was looking for. It works for me with Mac. :W:

The day that Windows replaces Mac in 99% of the pro music and video studios out there, I'll be right there blue screening with you.

mac users are generally not paying $400 / mo for child support

I'd have to take out a loan to buy a MAC and I dont roll like that

I'd love to have one, but until the record labels buck up and buy me one

I'll blue screen it!



*my comp never blue screens, I just added that


HONESTLY...

people with macs can make good tunes, people with PC's can make good tunes

this arguement is as tired as a hooker at a dick meeting

fuck off and make music, not lame ass posts like this

my 2 cents

mac is a status symbol not a computer for pro....

pro user mod his computer, mac os x is a closed os, it can't be modded like I wish

I've worked for 3 years in a national research centre of my country (CNR) and I've seen only pro-computer-users, and the majority of them work with unix / windows / linux not with mac...

pro graphics is made with SGI workstation (silicon graphics) not Mac computers, and this platform has its own OS not windows/linux nor mac

pro video, until 2007 (release date of avid for mac), has been made always with win2k and avid nitris / DNA...

is only since few years that final cut has been adopted by hollywood directors like lynch etc...

and now I'm going to make muzic

peace...

:)

one week i wake up and crave a mac

the next week i remember my PC does everything that the mac will do just as well (if not better)

the next week i want a mac again

and so on

i think its just cos they look nice and shiny (yes i am that shallow).

they are good, no doubt.

but then so are pc's.

its one of them innit. if you'v got 2 grand to spunk why not get a super fuckin ninja pc, thats what i say

Well here is my 2 cents.

I have both, the main studio runs a PC, very powerfull, and yes its been modded 2 the nuts.

I also have a new macbook pro.


I would say this, osx kills all other OS! Yes you cant mod it like you can a pc, but that only ends up leading to a unstable system.
The file system on a mac makes sense, you dont get lazy and store files anywhere.

OSX is the creative persons choice for a reason, its industry standard in all Creative industries!

i spend anywhere from 4 -12 hours a day on a computer...
aescthics and an operating system that is sensible are important to me.
and frankly after using pc's years ago, sitting down now and staring at windows is a rather painful exercise.
