I´m not saying the Ableton guys are bad Mac programmers but I beleive they would be the first to admit that they may be stronger on the PC side. Some have a talent for a certain thing, and some have a talent for another thing. Also I wish people would bear this in mind:Īll computer programmers are not the same. As someone else pointed out if you want to see OSX and a DAW running in near perfect harmony check out Logic. (I don't know if I believe it, but a lot of the whiny mac people blame Ableton for it's limitations on a mac-itīeleive it!. good luck and hopefully you'll be able to have a kick ass epiphony! I have a few friends who keep bugging me to beef up the cpu, but I haven't a clue how much that would cost or how much of an issue it would be to take out and replace the thing.Īnywho. so it has relatively limited use for me right now. I've got a silly 350 with a gig of memory, but it chugs on os x.

but as I said I do have a mac for the odd piece of software that I can't run. I'm pretty much a pc guy so that is where my experience lays with most of this stuff.
which you *could* slave off on a pc and have it sync up to your mac. The only one that is currently only pc that you mentioned so far is project 5. and a lot of the newer products appear to.

Plus you could get a reasonable pc for almost nothing now-a-days and still have enough cash to bulk up on other software if you wanted.Īlso consider that it seems like a lot of the software you have currently for your mac either comes with the mac/pc version already (or at least hopefully). If you diversify what you've got for hardware/os, you'll leave yourself with more options in the long run. but still have another system for doing other work on. That way you can hold on to all of your bad ass effects, plugins and whatnot. why not hold on to the mac *and* have a pc. For a first time buyer it should be a no brainer-get a good pc and have enough money left over to buy live, reason, and P5 compared to buying a mac. Once your working in Live, the only difference between the mac and Pc is that the pc, as you have seen, smokes the mac up and down.period. People are always making such a big deal about the different platforms and OS's, and I m no tech guy, just an experienced computer user in graphics and audio, and in the end there really isn't that much of a difference in the way a user interfaces with the OS9 or OSX environment, and the XP environment. It comes down to whether or not you are that patient, and how much you need more tracks, effects, and vsti and midi (via P5). Sure, time could possibly change these things, as Ableton makes theire software more mac friendly (I don't know if I believe it, but a lot of the whiny mac people blame Ableton for it's limitations on a mac-it couldn't possibly be that their precious expensive mac is actually slower than a pc, say it isn't so, lets blame ableton) and someday incorporates vsti and midi. Look around on the forum, and you will definitely see that it is currently indisputable that Live is faster on PC, and currrently the only vst in Live option that is solid seems to be P5 (pc only). I too have reason, live, p5 and a buttload of vsti, and i too can have tons of tracks and effects, all three apps going at once (sometimes with Fruity Loos too) and no problems at all. for UGLY-the pretty winner is Gateway 600 XL-they did the titanium thing to make it easier for all the mac crossover people)-Toshibas satelite 2430 XP PRo, 2.5 P4, 1 gig RAM. Your friends computer sounds exactly like mine (but hey, for a pc, its not that ugly-take a look at compaq.hp,etc.

Some fellow Mac peeps care to tell me I'm crazy and come back to Earth? Some Windows users care to tell me to "follow the light"? Maybe I should just build a cheapo box just for running Project 5, that's not quite the same though. It was a damn inspiring experience and I'm feeling a strong pull to go pick up a Wintel.
I've been looking for a way to stop using a monster like Logic after all these years and the Ableton, Project 5, Reason thing might be just what I'm looking for. Yeah, it was kind of ugly and big and heavy and it is running Windows but damn, to be able to have all that power and even run VSTis in Live is so tempting right now, especially since it's a fraction of the price of a new Mac. I haven't been able to say that in a LONG time. His machine smoked and he had a ton of tracks and effects running in with low CPU stress. My old 733 PowerMac started to look and feel rather lame. He said he paid $1500 for his machine which is powered by a 2.4 Ghz Pentium. I never considered it an option until today when my friend brought over his Toshiba Satellite running Live, Reason, Project5(AWESOME!!!) and about a million VSTs amd VSTis. I've always been pro-Mac and have not really had much experience with Windows. I've been a life long Mac user and have used Ableton Live since it's birth.
