All the data and graphs dont mean anything to me personally because i go from my experiences which is why i'm on a mac. But again everyone has different experiences. In the end, good trance can be made by both 8)

i was going to write a long winded reason why people dont switch but here is the number one reason.
money.
macs still cost too fucking much.
macs cost as much as most peoples pay check for a whole month.
that is a lot to spend on a computer just to feel like people are not looking at you as a piece of shit that shouldn't even be breathing.
pc users just need to admit it always comes down to price. we are cheap and we are broke or we have other things we want to do with our money.
example for the price of a new make lets say 1700 i could buy a pc laptop and have one thousand left over to buy anything.
i could take that one thousand and go on a vacation. i could buy a piece of shit car and crash into things. i could go to some concerts. i could buy new monitors. i could buy a used mac that is way to fucking under powered for todays standards (i did that one with the mac mini).
i could buy a new guitar, or pedals, or a synth.
do you get my point?
we are cheap.


btw you are not a mac user if you own a mini.. no fucking way are you in the club with that piece of crap. you are a pc user demo'ing a mac.
you are still a cheap bastard.

Funny that just about every relevant producer uses a mac.
And, so do I. (I am NOT a relevant producer.)

It's just a preference, nothing more. Mine is Mac.

P.s. Windows sucks

My PC is quite expensive, Nvidia 560 in sli, i7 2600K, super expensive case, super expensive ram, super expensive liquid coolling system, super expensive SSD.

The kind of computer that not even exist from Mac.

I put one of the Ableton Live stickers backwards on some translucent plastic once. Looked awesome.

EDIT: This is not a picture of me.

760 polyphony vs.120 polyphony.

This gap clearly shows that the oldfashioned system is not 'stable' at all practically :lol:
