Hello there. I'm new here I'm considering to get a Mac (I think it works better for making music - and this is a question I'd like you to answer).
I am new in music production either. Should I get a Mac? Is it better? thanks |

definitely you should. even taking money into it; these days macs pricing compares favourably with any QUALITY PC; sure you can get a peace of crap cheap PC for less but the amount of time spent keeping it breathing will soon increase that price. Its down to personal preference these days really, My preference is MAC all the way.

Really though, it sounds to me like you are shopping out of a catalog; and that you seem to be wanting to buy what other people are using. If budget really isn't an issue, I recomend that you go into your nearest quality music store, wave some money around and ask if you can try before you buy. Buy yourself a good computer (a mac pro will do fine), a monster synth (your Nord will do well here), a quality interface (anything by RME or MOTU, which model will depend on how many ins and outs you require), and as for your monitors ( my KRK's are great but with a larger bank balance I would buy Dynaudio), but with this section more than most is down to what sounds good to you; some would disagree because to the untrained ear, big sound sounds better but in the recording environment a fairly uncoloured sound is normally preferred. I like a little Flavour myself
That; I think, apart from the purchase of sequencing software (Logic, Cubase etc) is where you should pause and work with that for a while before breaking the bank buying what you think you need rather than what you actually need. Play with that for a while until you notice any gaps that need filling. In finishing quality music doesn't come from a box, it comes from the heart. I wont comment further because I don't know what your musical background is. Get to know your gear, take some short courses if you have the time and Jam, Jam, Jam.
