I have not got a mac so I use my PC. When I purchased my computer I bought a PC as it was cheaper and I had experience using one at work. |

well, it's nice of you to ask my dear wizard, i've only just started out and all i have is my mac which a paid a fat wad for, and i've been using some shitty little sequencer to piece together some stuff - but as i've said i'm only starting out and so everything i've produced so far is not all that. i'm interested in that new propellerheads software 'reason', looks cool, and sounds quite cool from what i've heard on the demo. i only raised this topic after recently reading an artical about luke vibert. he used an atari running cubase which is now apparenly buggered, and he is wondering whether to get a g4 power book because it has great potential for messing about with sounds an' all that, which is nice, but he also wonders is it actually worth it' and now i'm wondering whether i made the right choice. |

Anyone who makes music on a PC should go here -> http://www.propellerheads.se/index.php3 and download a demo copy of the reather splendid Reason v1.0. The best bit is when you hit the tab key! |

I USE A MAC!!! The new Macinstosh G4. . awsome computer! Ive beeun using macs and pcs for the last 12 years of my life, everyday. And I can use both very very well. Inside and out. I come to find that pcs... are better if you just want the same old shit, and they have mostly all porducts made for pc first. But in my experiances as well with others, Pcs are much more unreliable, and are not really made for Graphic/Music/Video editing, producing or making. Which is what I do with mine. The new OSX [operating system] is for the MAc, and its completly UNIX based... like the internet. And so, it is BY FAR the most reliable thing out there at all, faster too. [they also look better hehehe]. So in my opinion to make music you should use a Macintosh. Quality over Quantity my friends. |

well, shit...the Roland JP-8000, any old school analogue keyboards like anything from the Juno or Jupiter series. The Akai mpc2000 is fucking awesome...it's a midi production sampler pretty much which can be sychronized with anything. |

Hey hey, just dropping by for a few minutes. Thought it was quite surprising that this topic didn't get flooded with messages. But hey never mind. ID Lab knows a big shit load about music making with the PC I am presuming as well is collaborator Wizards Teeth. He's made some pretty cool tunes you should look up ID Lab at MP3.com My latest personal savings are slowly building up and will go to a groove box when I get the change. Now there is something worth looking at. I have barely ever used a Mac so I can't really say anything about them, but I do know that all of you budding PC Musicians can go to hitsquad.com and download a lot of free stuff which should help U out. I'll write down the name of the Groove Box I'm getting when I remember what it called. Laters. |

Interesting conversation going on! I just got an MPC2000 for use with my Macs (a G3 powerbook & a blue&white tower). What amazed me is that it still has a friggin' SCSI port! No Firewire or USB! Anyone know how I can make this read a Firewire drive?? You can check out my band at www.mp3.com/thelyndales if any one is interested. Peace! |
