Re: P.C. Vs. Mac



Can't do pro work on a cheap PC??? I can't agree with that.

You can build a computer that will do 24 tracks with ease for a few
hundred dollars. The sound quality will depend on the I/O interface,
not the computer. And even a cheap computer these days can do a fair
number of FX.

It's true that in pro world Mac is bigger but if your clients aren't pros
then PC is way bigger. Same thing if you're doing techno/electronica so
nothing is black and white but it's a good thing to check what your
potential clients are using.
One thing that is greatly exagerated is the price difference between the 2
choices. While it's true that you can buy very cheap PCs then it's also true
that you can't do professional recordings on these so you will have to build
a super PC which is very close to a Mac in price.
So like a wrote earlier the tough decision lies in which program you want to
use.
