MAC OS v Windows XP

Post by smccarthy945 » Fri Nov 24, 2006 6:39 pm

I have a Macbook Pro and have been running Ableton 6 under Windows XP. I dont use MAC OS X much since it seems pretty hard to find VSTS that run in the MAC OS.

From people who have run both Windows and MAC, is there a big difference with Ableton running either under Windows XP or MAC OS or is the difference minimal.

Peace, Celtic

there is no difference.
the difference is in your workflow outside of live.
osx trumps windows on that.
but live is live on whatever you have.

Nothing to go about, os x does in fact have ten times better workflow then winblows.

It is true that there are many more vst's for Windows, but there are still more than enough for making music on the Mac.

Do you even know what a workflow is?

I'd agree on OSX being better workflow :) It's a lose lose argument, but hey, it's also Friday night!
