Ok, great, bully for you..... It would be stupid for any PC user who has his flow on with it to switch to mac. Hell no, get yer groove on I say. It's about music and not you or me. As far as money goes, some of us like to drive Mercedes and others like to drive VW's. You bet i compute in style and comfort.AceLuby wrote:I've never bought a faulty mac, way out of my price range. I also know that computers break, which is the reason I don't want to drop 2 grand on a machine. My gf's lappy is about to go because of HW issues, but it'll cost about $400 to replace. How much would it cost to replace a mac, or even fix one for that matter?knotkranky wrote:
ok, so I guess you bought a faulty mac. Yeah, that doesn't happen anywhere else.
The point is making music, and getting to it as smoothly and a easy as possible.
You have other priorities is all. But for creation, I'd advise anyone with that motive to chose the OS over anything else.
I haven't really had any issues on the PC's I've run. 'It just works' as the OP put it. I turn on my machine, click on Ableton and don't worry about anything after that. Takes about 30 sec.
My new PC showed up and I expected it to take a couple nights before everything was set up. Took 3 hours total before I was jamming and recording, most of it was installing Live and getting my files from one PC to the other.
If money was no object I would get a mac, but as it stands I can get 2 gaming laptops for the same price. Is the OS going to make THAT big of a difference where it would be worth double the initial investment? In my mind, no, but to each his own.
As it was pointed out, the OS doesn't help or impede my workflow in Live, so it plays a very small role in the PC that I use w/ Live for live work.
But all that said, don't lead anybody new to music creation into a PC FFS
ya get my point? It's about new users, not us tossers who've got it going on already.
over n out.
