![]() ![]() My own personal experience, I went Mac a long time ago after being brow-beaten into believing it was the better solution for music. Both have commented to me that the stability and lack of fears of incompatibility are far less with Windows. Both did the M1 thing only to find half their studio was no longer usable due to software conflicts so run old and new together.įinally another couple abandoned Mac a good while ago, just opting to buy white shiny monitors so they looked close enough to Mac so their clients didn't really question it much. It does make a difference, clients want to see Mac even if they have no idea. Not a bad plan - just hope nothing dies.Īnother couple are Mac and latest/greatest as that's what their paying clients want to see. They went with the ideal of getting a working Pro Tools rig and leaving it sit with no need for updates. One person is Mac, but pretty old by today's standards. That is you pay them a whole bunch of money, they'll record for you. I do however know personally some self-studio types. I was a Mac user (and been blasted here before for saying so) but I have experienced Windows machines being the more stable platform. Personally as a home user who records bands occasionally, Windows is fine. :) In Steinberg's defense, Cubase 12 has been rock solid for me in native and not bridging old plugins probably helps. You can always run in Rosetta but I don't want to. That means the majority of Native Instruments VSTs are out the window for now (including never being able to use Absynth due to it being discontinued). The only downside is that running Cubase 12 in native mode means losing any plugins that aren't native VST3s. The M1 Pro in my 14" is beyond powerful enough to handle what I do. The last thing I want to deal with in Creative Mode is screwing around with technical issues and my Mac works without issue, so that's that. Please don't give me troubleshooting advice here, I promise you that I've tried everything you'd suggest. MacOS, not out of any sort of zealotry but mostly because I have inconsistent recording latency on my PC that I'm pretty sure is a hardware/driver interaction issue (the issues have survived OS reinstalls, driver updates, etc.). ![]() The fact that windows was not stable for me doesn't seem to be a popular opinion in the other answers that I see. don't let anyone make a choice for you or influence you to greatly. However, I am aware I could have gotten a more powerful desktop machine for a lower amount of money. In the end, other than the mobility thing, ease of use also had a big impact in getting a MAC. So if money is short your choice is decided probably, and if mobility is a must same thing.Īlso another thing to take into consideration (don't be mad all): I never heard a MAC user (that isn't very new or on a VERY old device) hate the system, while I often times hear people hate on Windows (myself included)Īlso make sure to do your research, I double checked all my "facts"before committing to any HW or SW that expensive and impactful to my work. MAC: runs smoother, more stable, more expensive, feel free to get a laptop so it is mobile. Windows: cheaper, much better HW for the money where I am from, more compatible, DO NOT GET A LAPTOP You do NOT want to spend all that money and then not be able to do something. If that is the case, I would definitely go windows. Looking at your post, it seems that some of yours don't? Now the main reason I got a MAC is because I am new to this, and all the plugins I wanted to use run natively on m1 pro. The stability being the same is just not true from my experience and a MAC is WAY better there. However, if you have money and don't mind spending it, I would definitely go MAC. I got it on a huuuge deal, and wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise (Had to purchase plugins, DAW, monitors.) ![]() The reason I mention this is because all the upgrades on any MAC are way to expensive, so that is definitely something to take into consideration. I use a a 14'' macbook pro m1 pro 10/16, 1tb/32gbĪs I do orchestral music I wouldn't go below 1/32, and even that is not a lot. This is all only my experience and is definitely different from other ones: ![]()
