I'm curious to know why you guys and gals prefer Mac over PC.

A little background on the guy asking:

my setup
Home: Intel Pentium 4/1.8Gig, Creative SB Audigy
Road: Intel Pentium M(Centrino)
WinXP Home
Cubase VST/(VST and DirectX plug-ins)
WaveLab 3.0

Pretty lean right now, but I'm slowly building my setup. Most of what I do is sequenced, but I would like to someday build a home studio and have guests either sing or play on my tracks. I sometimes spend a lot of time on the road for work(the day-job) and I like being able to work on my music in the hotel room(can I get away with a PowerBook in a home studio setup too?)

Any suggestions are appreciated.

The J.

Hey Japanarian,

You won't be disappointed with your powerbook...glad to hear you loaded up on RAM.

I maintain a 10 pc network at the recording studio I work at by day...but all of my personal recording and sound design work that I do at my home studio is Mac, and it is IMO much simpler. I use a mac mini at home with Pro Tools M-powered with M-audio firewire 410...and a powerbook g4 with PT and M-audio ozonic for my mobile sound design rig. They share a firewire drive (highly recommended, btw) so that the files are always current.

Good luck and let us know how you fare!
