help me out guys
Most music programs available on mac are available on windows
The hardware costs far more for an equivelant pc
Mac: $6,503.00 Gateway equivelant: $4,199.99
If you really want a mac, get a cheap windows/linux running pc and use the mac hack(not sanctioned by apple) to get it to install, saves you hundreds.
ya, mac use to be better cause they use to make their own parts, and they were better.. but now they use intel parts, so there no better then PC's. also harder to upgrade when the time comes, if you really want some mac apps that badly you can use "Trans mac" and run it there on a PC.
i thought the only people who wanted macs were video editors and artists
also i\\\'d say yeah don\\\'t bother, if you own a mac the company controls everything you do with the machine. you can\\\'t upgrade it yourself, and the warranty is void if you so much as make a screw loose
damnit I have a mac SATAN'S GONNA GET ME!!
uh, ya... he is.
NIGGOTS ALL OF YOU

not really, lots of great musicians use them
mark ford, chris deane, paul rennick
the macbooks seem pretty cool seeing as how they come with a microphone and webcam and stuff, and i've been told the wireless mice are gr8
never heard of any of those guys
you can buy wireless mice for PC's
what the hell are you gonna do with a webcam
the default microphone is about as good as your standard headset
i really don't see any benefit to getting a mac for music, i'd say the primary reason why most musicians have macs (if they even do) is because macs are more pretentious and hip aka no practical or real advantage
yeah, I've heard macs are really only just pretty and expensive
the webcam was really just for skype or iChat or whatever
a lot of people i know jave skype
I've just heard a lot of people say macs have better music sounds and stuff, i don't know
btw, those guys I mentioned are faculty here, but they aren't just that
mark ford is a world-famous composer
really, I just want a new computer
the one i have now is getting a little old
and it's given me lots of crap over the years
MIDI skipping, etc. my current issue with it is it won't accept a microphone
you know, some of you guys might be able to figure this out for me
ok, so my computer used to be able to use microphones and i mainly used a pre-amp
but one day, i don't remember how, it just doesn't even have it as an option.
if you go to control panel > sounds and audio devices > audio tab > sound recording: volume...
microphone isn't even an option for me
even if it go to properties, it's not there to check the box.
here's a screen shot
"What U Hear"?
it records what comes out of the speakers
without a middleman
it's a perfect recording of the internal sound
It wouldn't be exactly a bad idea getting a mac jordan but do some more research, maybe ask ur music boss or something - and if that's yourself iunno man
Good - mac can run quite fast, what with the built in RAM, CPU, etc...
- can play music no sweat
- can make a good heat source
- will make Youtube Poop look gay
Bad - mac can't use certain file types, like most .exe types
- can have random hardware failures (compared to most mac consumers)
- can literally make you stab yourself trying to find the certain program you don't want, since there are so fucking many, even the ones you don't even have
not only that, macs break easily, and when you accidentally remove an important file from it, it's pretty much fucked up
but i'm sure you guys knew that, since some of you think they aren't that great
and yeah, look for different comps before even thinking about buying a mac
the drivers probably got removed somehow. did it come with software
if not you might need to look online for basic drivers
in the long run i'd get a new pc
you can make a pc do anything you want if you know what you're doing

a friend of mine came over and tried to help me out
we downloaded and tried a total of two drivers, and they didn't fix anything
then my next professional diagnosis would be that your computer is just an old piece of garbage
analysis complete
I have never seen "What you hear" for my audio properties.. oh well.
really, a lot of musicians have macs because apparently music programs are better on them
but nowadays, the programs are pretty much the same on macs and pcs, so i don't know
I may just get a laptop that's not a mac who knows
well not that i\\\'m some kind of top tier musician but i\\\'d say fruityloops can do just about anything you\\\'d want it to do
Quote from: JohnGamesI have never seen "What you hear" for my audio properties.. oh well.
old feature in sound cards, usually the built-in motherboard ones. nowadays that would just be the "master" or "wave" track
ITS NOT A PREAMP YOU STUPID FAGGOT
Quote from: taylorITS NOT A PREAMP YOU STUPID FAGGOT
uh you're the one who told me it is!
pre amps are what you use for condenser mics
if U r gonna be in music then u Need t oKNO w
ok, so I'm still trying to figure out what to do
everyone who has a mac is saying:
I LOVE MY MAC IT'S GREAT AND I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!
apparently, macs come with all the drivers for stuff, so you just plug it in and it works
"they're great for musicians" "the wireless mice are great!" "you can run windows on it!"
and I've heard the music applications used to be better on macs
but that's not necessarily the case anymore
everyone with other laptops are like:
DON'T GET A MAC IT'S A BAD IDEA THEY'RE JUST PRETTY!!!!!!!
there is so much variety in software and hardware with pcs (good thing)
but that variety is mostly in business applications and computer games (which I don't play)
also, macs are more expensive, of course
GAH I CAN'T DECIDE
how would you afford a mac anyway
Quote from: taylorhow would you afford a mac anyway
who said I was getting it
I'm gonna ask for a laptop for christmas
