Man, never had to repair my PC and never ran into issues. I don't understand people saying that they have problems with PC. Running the same machine for 5 years, no problems with windows updates and compatibility, etc.
Don't have any issues with Mac users or people wanting to spend so much more.
Doesn't really cost more at this point. You can easily do music production on an M1 Mac Mini for $700, I've done it. I also have a Windows PC that I built, it doesn't crash or anything, but when you hop back and forth between the two operating systems you see just how inelegant & clunky Windows really is by comparison.
@@exiles_dot_tv How much of your production time do you really spend using the native menus and settings on the OS though? Most of the time on a music or video computer will be spent in your editor, so if you're not emotionally or financially attached to Logic or or Final Cut, then the PC will be better value.
@@exiles_dot_tv You are damn right, man. Mac os is smooth and look pretty. And I am falling in love with apple silicon. But I work with orchestral stuff a lot and Lord they eat up a lot of ram. And M1's 16 GB are not enough. And the good value for my type of budget end up on M1. M1 pro and max are very expensive.
Thanks for the answer, have a good day!!
An individual producer also needs to produce audio and video content. You don't put an RTX 3070 in your mac. Therefore, a PC is versatile for this activity and for a lower cost update. The musician has a smaller mentality, he only thinks about audio, he forgets that nowadays listeners want audio and video.
My main studio (and video editing!) PC has been upgraded several times, but this year was THE YEAR I was going to replace it. I had all the components picked out...but it didn't happen, because I simply refuse to pay $1500 for a $300 GPU or $5000 for a $2000 CPU. Once supply chain problems have resolved and the crazy price gouging stops, I'll buy my new PC.
The PC should be called Vangelis.😆
Great video Doctor Mix! I understand the versatility of owning both Mac and PC. I would like to get a Mac down the road specifically for Music Production, but I currently use my custom built PC for all my artistic endeavors. It's good to have both, each have strengths in different ways. But I do love the customizable aspects of PC. Thank you for covering this topic! 😀🤙
Fractal Design cases are my favourites, though I don't like the holes in the front of this one. Top buttons are comfortable if it's positioned under a desk.
For mods and upgrades pc's are much more attractive. I also use a floor trolley to keep the case clean and accesible. Well done, shall we call it Paul?
For laptops, I’m a Mac guy. For desktop, I’ve been PC in the past. I’m tech savvy when it. Ones to doing music production via software.
My macs have always lasted longer than PCs, even when similarly spec’d. I use Reaper, Roland Cloud, Waves EFX, NI Komplete Ultimate. While they work on both platforms, I’ve had less issues on the Mac side. And I love core compliant midi/audio. No drivers.
I need replace desktop to mirror my laptop and I want to do PC but I have so much Mac Eco system going on in my family with phones, pads, MacBooks. I may have to go Mac mini or iMac.
This hits the nail on the end with the difference. For a laptop I will only ever have a Macbook Pro, my 2009 MacbookPro still works perfectly and never had an issue. Sure its a bit slow to boot, but thats fine for what i use it for. For my everyday computing I have a tower Windows PC. I just upgrade it as and when, been doing that since my first new PC back in 1998 !
I had an iMac but all the software was on PC vsts and DAWs that didn't exist natively on iOS... So I moved to PC and now I have all the good stuff and no compatibility problems anymore... More raw processing power for half the price.
I started music production back in the late 1980s with a DOS version of Cakewalk. I was luck enough to win a copy of the first PC edition of Cubase in a competition and switched to that upgrading to VST when it came out and used the various upgrades until 2010. I ran these on a variety of PC but always had an issue with timing on longer tracks, if I was using a drum machine set at a fixed BPM the timing on the sequencer would eventually drift out of synch. I changed to an iMac in my music studio in 2010 and started using Logic. Even though I had the same instrument set up the timing issue disappeared. Strange. I still use a PC for video work and I guess I will go back to a PC for music before too long as my 2010 iMac is on its last legs and I can't afford a new one!
It's complete garbage that its the fault of the computer or software - it can only be the fault of the soundcards drivers. DId you have a pro audio sound card and how were you using it ?
I know how this feels. When I moved to middle school last year, I needed a stronger and faster PC than my current one back then, because I am currently studying Photo-editing and videomaking. So I opted for X-FIABLO GAMER 3 because it had alll the specs that I wanted. So I bought the PC in the beginning of 2020. And I had to wait half a year because of the graphics card situation. And on top of that, I use this PC not only for my school, but also I use it for music production
As always, I hope that you are safe

Hmm a discussion on audio comparing platforms that does not address the underlying audio engines on the respective OSes. I know price is always a core consideration but there are some fundamental differences in the way each platform handles audio that do affect things like latency, memory requirements and CPU load on both platforms.
At the end of the day though if the tool works for you and you are getting what you expect out of it then whatever you choose to use is the right choice.
I'm almost positive that we'd be seeing similar performance between similar systems. I'll give Apple 1-2ms latency superiority at best which, when you are dealing with 4ms minimums anyway and PC can easily hit 4.7ms or better, whats the real point. PC will almost always have more RAM for the price by a mile.
@@NikoNoxious It‘s not about latency. macOS has a much better understanding of what an audio device can be. Most audio devices on Windows still need ASIO drivers to even have more than 2 input channels. Same goes for MIDI. Windows always treated audio as an afterthought compared to macOS. I‘ve worked with both systems in professional environments for a long time and gotta say that macOS works a lot better.
Been using a SCAN EXS for music production since 2010 (with an i3 540). Upgraded the MOBO,CPU,RAM and other internals earlier this year. But kept the same Fractal case. Their build quality is excellent. And the total cost of the two builds is still less than that of a single Mac purchase. Suggest the name Vera.
How do you clean your computers? We all have to do this - they get dusty inside. What tools could you recommend?
Those little intros with him moving his hands around are so cute and funny. :)
Great video. Can you also make a video about what software you use for audio editing and what software you use for video editing?
Been using Pc's since the 90's, but only had a mac laptop for the last 4-5 years, used to build my own pc and the parts usually came from scan, especially as its about 15 mins away from me now, but picked up a 2nd hand dell a year or 2 back cheap, so have just been upgrading that with ssd's and a gpu from scan over the years, needs a better casee though as the dells is more like a heater, so currently sat with no side panel on it.
Im my computer work life as a SysAdmin I was mainly a PC person running Windows, Unix, Linux, and other flavors of Unix. I did have a Mac and that came in handy for getting work as the multiplatform guy at a few companies including Mac software publishers. Then when I went back to working in the music I got back in to using Macs because it was simpler no juggling drivers because hardware and OS came from one company. Also the media company I worked for was all Mac. I still used PC's on Linux for all my non-music needs. Now being retired and doing music all the time I just use a Mac for everything, but if I wasn't into music I would be running a PC for reasons Doctor Mix talked about, cost less and you can upgrade CPU, RAM, video, etc to keep getting more life from the machine.
One good thing is when Mac's start slowing down because OSX keep getting bloated you can alway wipeout OSX and install Linux and have a fast computer again. Yes, there is an early version of Linux that runs on Apples new SoC chips.
love your videos!
whats the name of the last 808 track
Where did you get your multi tier stand for your drum mods?
Hi Claudio,
First of all, thank you for all your precious informations about the gear you use to play music !
I'm a musician too with on stage Ivory American Steinway from Synthogy (pretty big samples library), EP-88 from Scarbee and I'm planning to buy Omnisphere from Spectrasonics.
As you are keyboard "live" player too, I would like to know what would be your advice about RAM choice for new MacBooks M series during a concert : 16, 32 or 64 Go ?
I have an old Macbook Pro from 2011 with 1 To SSD and 16 Go but I have now some bugs on stage with it !
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best Regards from France !

Do you think M1 powered Mac options ??
dont know what all those PC haters are complaining about. run windows machines since 1995, and i always could manage problems myself... all systems,... nowadays i use a refurbished xeon system, ( dual 6core, 32gb mem, 12tb hd )which is running for 3 years now without any problem or hickup... run all vsts i want in Ableton (while Blender is rendering in background) without problems and that for under 1000 euro. no overpriced mac for me
When first built a system to trigger top of the line drum software (BFD) about 12 years ago I built a top of the line PC tower with great specs. Problem was that windows limited RAM to programs and the software is super resource hungry with massive files for realism. I could never get it to work right. Constantly fucking around with windows settings and trying to do "this and that" to get it to allocate etc etc...
Finally I just said fuck it, and bought a Mac Pro. Worked like a charm. Very minimal messing around with even standard settings. Ran the software perfectly with no drop outs or clicks or glitches.
Fast forward to 2021 and my 2009 Mac Pro getting long in the tooth but discovered a whole world of Mac Pro upgrader people who've kept it going. Upgraded the CPU to the max, put in 96GB of RAM, NVMe SSD drives, and with some tweaking it's possible to run the news Mac OS. For under 1000 dollars in upgrades I've bought myself at least another 5 years (I can survive on an older OS and DAW) and probably slightly more than that. I'm up to date on the newest version of Logic, which I love and don't really want to use anything else because it has so many built in good quality VST's.
From what I understand watching some videos from other audio production people, windows STILL to this day requires more setup, tweeking and general fucking around than Mac OS. I'm sure it's possible to have PC run far better than what I experienced back then but at this point I'm just not interested.
I don't hate PC. I just tried it and it didn't work very well. I tried a Mac and it worked great. I still use PC for everyday internet stuff but as I said....I'll stick with mac for the music thing cause it really does "just work". And the old Mac Pro is proof you can keep a mac going for a long long time. Might not be the best option for everyone but it works for me.
If things have been different I would have bought a 24 in touch screen all in one during the holidays and I was just going to use that for the vcv rack. 20 years ago the hate was extreme. Like you're just running an audio program you're not running video. I mean if I can find a good deal in an old refurbished laptop they really just has a processor from the last decade or so I mean as a single unit it could run any program very well. I am personally I like all the new gear that they have that is kind of fun to experiment. You can do all kinds of wild stuff with PCS that you'd never be able to afford with a Mac. The funny part is when everybody complained about PCS they were just implying how stupid they are. They just don't know how to run a computer or program I mean it's there is no difference between the setup between a Windows or Mac program so really they were just saying that they were too stupid to be able to run the computer or the program they just kills me. I mean you got to know how to work a computer or a program if not then if you got something that's just conveniently superficially setting up for you to be able to work with if you don't understand what's beneath all that then you just an idiot. And if I had to criticize I know the modern school system I would say that everybody in the world and especially America are retarded. Because churning out students into the real world that really have no concept of how a computer works memory size or nothing. And it's 2022 you think that would just be a prerequisite to your intelligence at this point in history because it's not special rare or exclusive knowledge. It's pretty simple to understand once you understand how to relate everything together.
I don't think many people are PC "haters". I wouldn't try to divide the community. But I will say, you are either lucky you have never had any issues, or exaggerating, or are using a PC in a very specific way. If you are doing anything beyond DAW arranging (such as actually performing instruments, using recent VST instruments), you are likely to run into some latency issues, and much of the VST world has issues with compatibility with hardware, because PC's vary so much in hardware and peripherals. Windows just wasn't designed with visual and audio design in mind. Just to do a lot of other things.
My PC is my main device. I use it for everything, including music, gaming, (really everything else). But I cannot wait to afford a MacBook to add to the mix, as I just want to be able to play the music without noticeable latency, and bloaty software. I want my VST's to feel like they are a hardware synth! And every time I used a Mac for that, I never had to think about potential issues arising. I say BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
Nice video! Keep at the good work Doctor Mix!
there is no better advertisement than a fact of purchasing 3 pieces before the sponsorship. very cool. I'm gonna go on their site again just to refresh prices and how far I am from them still.
I have a cheap Lenovo laptop and it's been frustrating to work with, constant audio drops, cutting out when recording and lagging. All I'm using is studio one 4 and a guitar di into 1 amp sin which is included with the daw. The spec in paper for the computer looks good enough but I'm having alot of issues and it's hard to get ideas out when so much time goes into just getting the gear to work
Ooh I understand the frustration. Been there, still there!
You just gotta grind.
Does it have an SSD? Maxed out RAM?
Hi, do they deliver to the US??
I was sat here waiting for that static shock! I still jumped.
I use a Dell Gamer Laptop with Fedora Linux, Waveform 11 Pro DAW, Waldorf Blofeld synth, and many native Linux VST3.
But everyone has to work with what gives them the ideal. Merry Christmas!
Fun video, as always. I use both Mac and PC at home and at work. I think Dr. Mix is unaware that Apple switched processors on the Mac, though - they're no longer Intel-based. Apple's new CPU design is faster, generates less heat, and uses less power than the Intel chips they were using. When you consider performance, you can't really directly compare them any more because the CPU is different. But you can make great music on either platform for sure. My overall impression using both is that you can save time with a Mac or save money with a PC.
I do agree, but I’d say it is restricted to some specific workloads. As a gamer/professional software developer/hobbyist home studio producer, trying to game on a Mac is as a waste of time as developing on windows. As a hobbyist ableton user I’d say experience is more hassle/bug free on a Mac, though. Though my pc is significantly more performant than my M1 MacBook Air, I’d say the Mac is a much more versatile package than any pc/laptop I’ve ever had - from ultrabooks to high performance/gaming laptops.
I think he was mostly referring to the Mac Pro, which is still Intel, but should also be switching over in 2022, probably.
@@mkabilly Gaming and the Mac don't mix! At least not yet. I run Windows 10 on our gaming tower at home. I'd agree 100% that music software is in general less problematic on the Mac due to Core Audio - on Windows, you've got different drivers for every piece of gear almost. It's fine once you get it set up, but you don't want to surf the web on your Music Studio PC. Get it working and don't mess with it. Ableton is great on both, though, isn't it? I love it. I run Logic Pro in the studio and Ableton Live for live gigs. Bulletproof.
ah yes the new ARM CPU, not exclusively Apple though.
PLUS, they (the MacPro's) are now upgradeable once again. YAY!!!!!!!!
Cant make an account on the scan co site, coz i live in Denmark! :(
Great content. You could call it “Salvo”.
I’ve just got the new M1max MacBook Pro 16” and is a beast. 64gb unified RAM, 4tb nvme Ssd.
On another note! G ♩ rofl !!
I noticed it's a Fractal Design case. There really nice cases, I've got the Meshify 2XL and the Define 7XL cases for my Linux Workstation and Windows PC. I do recommend the Iiyama G-MASTER GB3461WQSU-B1 monitor 34" widescreen. It's brilliant for Cubase and Logic Pro X. I'm getting another one. Both my pc builds are Threadripper but are getting old by todays current gen, so will upgrade the cpus next year.
I use Scan all the time I just jumped aboard mac though with an m1 mac mini and m1pro macbook
pc guy here, personally
two things mac has that windows needs natively (but can still be achieved with extra software) are internal midi routing and aggregate devices for audio inputs.
If you run windows 10 you have to use somewhat buggy solutions for internal midi and you'll need to wrestle with ASIO4ALL a bit to get aggregated inputs running simultaneously as one set
Can you run Logic Pro X on a PC?
good to know that "Frank" -is- was your Monster pc ;) ..until the next comes ":-(" Great video about studio computers - I really like!!
I suggest "Moroder" or "Georgio" for the name of the PC
Georgio
Merry Christmas Claudio!!!
Mac has the Garage Band application but can also run Mac program like Cakewalk or VST CUBASE
hmmmm what about "Jobim"? Merry Christmas Doctor Mix and everyone!
I personally switched to Mac in 2009. But i love building my own pc rig as well. It all depends what programs you want to use.
Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X are Mac only programs. That's what i personally use. I love it, pretty easy to use. I really want to try out FL Studio and Cubase though.
Sound effects to open a box is very good 🤣🤣🤣, Name suggestion 'Pavarotti'.
Name it Bruce... 😁For the rest, I'm first of all an IT professionnal, before being a music enthousiast.
The main issue with the PC is that we often use it for a lot of tasks, and not only music... That can cause sometimes some slowness on the system.
And more over, management of musical interface can become a little bit tricky... Simply because ASIO management is not always universal: eg. Yamaha and Steinberg can't use ASIO4ALL...
But if you stick to an interface and you only use it for music production, it will be perfect for years... ;-)
'Umberto', definitely 'Umberto' 😉 Keep up making these nice videos. Merry xmas and and a happy, healthy & productive new year! 🥂
It's still Christmas time, I think you should call him Dean, after Dean Martin. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow :-)
You already have Elvis and Frank!
I made the switch to PC in 2020 after only using macs since the early 00s and I’m never looking back.
You could name that PC, "Ennio" (as in Morricone) or "Stevie" (as in Wonder).
I second Stevie
I am dedicated to selling computers and I was waiting for the small electric shock when you were removing the bag. greetings from Mexico
For video editing, in my opinion, the best way to go is Mac. Rendering on Premiere on PC vs Final cut on Apple: Final cut is cheaper, so you make up some of the price of your Apple. For speed: Apple is just way quicker. Rendering can be twice as fast on Apple. Tested it myself, but I have also seen it on other UA-cam channels. Final cut is something you have to get used to though.
Btw, you could call the new PC Elisa. Don’t know why.
There is something to say about using the right tool for the job. For AI / machine learning work a pc is better due to a wider option of video cards.
But this is music production, not video or AI…
Final cut needs getting used to? Sorry, but Premiere is friggin annoying and sluggish. Give me the magnetic timeline of FCP any time. Also doing subs is 10 times faster on FCP (important for me).
Speaking of spending a lot: have you decided on the color of your mk8 rhodes yet??!!
I actually don’t know why, but for some reason my pc and mac sound different on exactly the same projects. Anyone else got this problem?
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND GOOD LUCK.
How about "Belinda" for the new rig?
9:28 that was hilarious 🙈
Love the way you named your pcs, I totally agree with you. I have my mac laptop, but another several PCs, my cheaper arsenal!
Ideas for a name: "Hot Fanny" or "Thirsty Carbon Watt".
Just kidding, one of these days I'll maybe have one of theses big boxes with cheap RAM in my bassement to run Vienna Ensemble Pro for my orchestral libraries, Power it on, load the librarie, let it turn 24/7 and access it thru your DAW. When you want cheap raw power without dealing every day with a weird OS I think it's a good solution. The best of both worlds, MasOS for working, windows in the bassement.
The new PC is called...wait for it...Claudio!
Love your videos. Much fun, good info, and great music. I just switched from PC to Mac. So far I am preferring the Mac but I have a small home studio. As for a name, you need another lady. I would call her Maria.
Been PC forever and I’ve never had to worry about any of my software not running when there is a new OS update. I think you should call the new PC Horace.
But . . . but . . . it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive. 😉😁 Kidding aside, enjoy your new purchase. Love your idea of giving your past towers names, I wish I had thought of that ever since I bought my first PC in 1999.
As long as it pushes out 🔥🔥 beats I don't care which one I use !! Oh yea.. that beat in the video is amazing!!
🐐
As for names, i've never named my Pcs.. But i think it is a good idea, i am not italian.. But i love your names, like Claudio.. I am a big fan of a metal band from Italy called Disarmonia Mundi.. But there is a slight problem, so Dr Mix name is Claudio (same as one of the member of said band).. So what about Ettore (Member of said band, but producer) do a little flip flop and reverse the roles?
I'm totally with you. PC for everything EXCEPT laptop! The Macbook is just worth the extra. Always.
If I may ask a related question (which I've never been able to get a trusted answer for) though, when it comes to using the Mac in a Live environment, does it help the performance to add an audio interface?
I get that I need one for inputs (I don't really need more inputs) and for quality (I do need better sound) but for latency/dropouts? I'm not so sure. That's the only thing that's maybe pushing me away from getting another Macbook Pro and thinking about a Windows laptop.
All the best, and I'd call the PC 'Cristiano' because it looks like it's the GOAT!
My Surface laptop 3 with i7 32gb 1tb runs flawlessly with windows 10 I have Waves Soundtoys Valhalla Arturia Omni Serum Korg etc no hiccups and Unlike Mac it’s touchscreen with pen support I can adjust parameters and faders bye hand or with pen support a lot of Mac users have no idea of this you can literally draw in chords if u want and bye the way I’m typing this on 12.9 IPad Pro with M1 16gb ram with 2tb so I’m no fan boy I’m just a tech and I do connect IPad to laptop with duet display and it does have touch support but my screen resolution is capped on the IPad and I use a Antelope zen go which is usb c bus powered meaning I connect to iPad and can sample or record on the go with GarageBand if I like my Main daws are Mpc FL Studio and Studio One
Call it "Michael Corleone" or simply "Corleone" as a tribute to the main protagonist in The Godfather coz I assume this is goin' to be your main workhorse computer and to you being an Italian as well so that's it. Thank you for sharing us your best all the time and keep safe always.
I say both but try A mac m1 i have one and is grate for music and is cheap is you get the fist model
New PC should be called "Funky Gerald".
Do you use any iOS apps? Would be nice to see you playing around with iOS synths. Now that Apple Silicon Macs can run iOS apps, some of them are installable and appear as audio units which can be used in Mac Apps!
incredible work,............
A Meshify, sorry going geeky! Loved my Meshi runs so god damn quiet! Maybe you should have some kinda Swedish name for this one?! As Fractal Design are a Swedish company, sorry off on the geeky side again! But the only name I can think is Abba....not really sure that's fitting. I like someone's other comment for Stevie.
Been a PC user since the early nineties in the days of MS-DOS and 5 1/4 inch floppies, just went to the dark side this week. These new M1 Pro and Max chips are beasts!
Plus you can't do Main Stage on a PC.
How about 'Anderson'?
I payed way too much for a MacBook pro in 2011.
I upgraded hard drive and removed disk bay.
I had to change the battery once, my fault that I let it discharge completely.
But even not more supported, I still use it as today.
And no headache with win updates that blocked my pc for2 days because it was installing some updates or viruses.
I use pc at work, I’m a cad engineer and it’s a big pain in the @ss, this workstation with win 7 (we are blocked thanks to cad software) sucks.
Damn right. You don't have to be one or the other, just use whatever works best for you in the role it is performing.
Just be well aware of the limitations of both before you go preaching that one platform is better than the other.
Dear Claudio, I suggest “Mildred” as the name for your new pc, in honor of that beatiful 70’s sitcom I believe you should know. Don’t you? ;)
Yes, the new M1 chip by apple is fast, but CPU war is in full effect between intel, amd and now apple. Every years progress is equal to the last 10 years. This probably means that amd or intel will make chips equal or faster than apple even though its not optimized to the OS as well, is my guess. And with apple you historically get forgotten for a decade (as a prosumer segment) at their will. I want a modular system that can be upgradable and always run well, thats why I went PC in 2017 (amd)
To me, these kinds of comparisons can be way too "specs" or number heavy. What really matters is what the individual can do with either. Hardware benchmarks aren't really indicative of making good music.
You may have switched too early : M1, M1 Pro, M1 max (and the ones to come) are on MAC only, and cheaper than Intel, they need less fan (less noise) and less power for the same number of tracks.
I am switching to MAC.
Doc, you should call your new pc ''Gitfitzii'' 4:57
At the moment, I'm playing wind of change: D I think I'm too nostalgic for the 80s, thank you from Algeria :))
Wtf are you talking about? This comment is so off topic...
@@killdylbeats7142 :D good day ;)
Serial genial si tus videos tuvieran subtítulos en español 😬, los veo siempre y solo entiendo la mitad de las cosas. Muchas gracias igual
pues creo que el Doctor Mix es italiano y el no habla español entonces él no puede usar subtitulos espanol porque no es su idioma propia.
You could call it Klaus ;) nice specs
I think call the new video rig PC "BRUNO", as is a real heavy hitter ✊🏻
I used to love Apple and their products until they started being the "mini nano pico accessories" company. I understand proprietary technologies and their importance on your final product but i cannot understand spending, as you well said, 4 times the value in a similar setup to which, i then need to buy external expansion bays in order to have more space and/or, in some of the new Mac's, an adapter to connect A to B, then another adapter to connect B to C.
Built my PC from scratch, all parts hand picked and assembled at home, currently with 3.25 TB and 32 GB ram, i can run any plugin/ VST/ Orchestral library without any issues, all for about 2.5k.
Last time i went to the Apple website to make a custom "cheese grater", price went sky rocket and when i finally noticed, i was in Pluto. I mean, let's face it, 500€ for wheels on your desktop...
now they are back with the ports
i use my mac to run ableton and logic... and 2 pc's as my vsl machines... best of both worlds :)
I don't think we need to revive a debate and division in the community. But I say, try both, see which one makes you want to make music. But know that PC's are not really designed to run music programs LIVE very well. If I had the choice, my studio would be PC (I could even game on it if I wanted to), and my live rig would be Mac (VERY portable and reliable under heavy music strain). And the same goes for phones too.
There is such an unnecessary push and platform to divide people and have them argue over their preferences.
Some VERY heavy downsides of PC are:
-The latency issues with drivers. Good luck finding a driver that Microsoft themselves has created for music purposes.
-Software compatibility issues. Software devs always tend to have issues programming for/supporting Windows.
-Hardware variation is all over the place for PC's and thus makes it difficult for music software devs to keep up.
ALEX is a good name for the new PC.
Merry Christmas Claudio!
whar about Leonardo ?
Call it either Skipper, Kowalski or Private. Buy two more and you have all the penguins.
Since you already have Rico, the new one should be called Suave
Chevere!
Ah, Eh, ahi na' ma!
I suggest….: Max … eheheh… nice video Claudio! Thank you for your experience sharing!
Dr M I thought I was off my head you lunatic 🤣👍call it "Panther" as it's all black. Nice looking beast, I use Scan myself.
I like Panther!!
@@Doctormix it's got to be Dr M, she is black as a cat👍 Happy Xmas buddy🎄
That new computer looks like a Patrick.
Mac vs. PC is an old discussion, like Amiga vs. PC was before then. I started using computers for games and such many years ago, back in the MS-Dos days. I never saw a good reason to switch to Mac. I couldn't afford an Amiga, so I got an older PC from my parents. As the software library grew I was stuck with my PC. I have been forced to use Apple-branded computers, but they seem to take a dislike to me. I contributed to the Uni newspaper, and first time I touched the Mac that we did the DTP with, the whole thing crashed. So I let the other folks do that. I also managed to crash an iPad the first time I got to try one.
Meanwhile, my computers seems to last. The computer I am using now was a mid-range computer that I bought in 2016. Only thing I done to that is to expand the memory as the 8 GB RAM that it came with tended to not be enough for some of my Reaper projects. So I maxed it to 32 GB. Apart from that it is chugging along splendidly.
And what are you going to do on this computer?
Made the switch to running Bitwig on Linux and I've never looked back.
An individual producer also needs to produce audio and video content. You don't put an RTX 3070 in your mac. Therefore, a PC is versatile for this activity and for a lower cost update. The musician has a smaller mentality, he only thinks about audio, he forgets that nowadays listeners want audio and video.
Rocoto, that is a cool name!!!
How about “Roxy” as a name ? It’s the name of a club, the name of a band and reminds people of the song “Roxanne” by The Police 😅
As a PC and Mac user I think it would be nice to call your new PC ‘Steve’… 😉
I would name it Smithy.
I cross platform all the time, but you've obviously missed the new generation M1x Mac's which are phenomenally fast and powerful. The new iMac 27 (out soon) leaves a 25k iMac pro in the dust for less than 2k
The new M1 chips are literally mind blowing.
There won't be a 27 inch iMac again. They only do the 24 inch entry one from now on.
What you mean is "Should I go with the future of technology now or stay mired in the past?"
yes man. can i have one of your drum machines
Claudio you are going to launch your studio into space?
I would call it Mr. Spock ... because it is logic!!! :))) I also use PCs for audio production!
