MIDI Controller 101: For a Music Workstation a MAC or a PC with Windows?

By Donald Grossy


"What should I use for my music-making, should I buy a MAC or a PC?" If at the moment you are someone asking this question, then this text will be of major help. In here, you may know what the biggest considerations are when you will be deciding what to get between a MAC and Windows PC. Worry no more; this is the article for you.

For those people making price a giant consideration, then a PC would be a good choice. MAC cost more than any computer within the same range of quality. You are able to save more from a PC since you can also, customise it exactly how you would like it. You can buy separate parts from computer stores with the directions you need and then you build up your very own (that is if you know how).

Another thing that makes PCs more cost efficient than MACs is that MACs cannot be fully upgraded. If you want to upgrade your MAC, you buy a newer one with higher specs. Purchasing parts to include to your old PC, like that of a PC doesn't work with MACs. For MACs, you want to buy a whole new one for you to have a quicker memory.

When it comes to productivity, MACs win in this category. MACs work direct out of the box. There is not any need for configuration tests, compatibility tests, software installations, and the likes. MACs ' computer parts are made solely by Apple so you would not need to bother about incompatible parts like many PC users found out, just because there are at present many manufacturers and distributors of PC parts.

Also, in MACs, music-making would not be impeded by worms, viruses. MACs have conflict resistant systems thus making your work faster because you do not have to reboot your system now and then.

You see, there are more concerns but these two are just the greatest. Both computer types have their arguments. You may let me know, 'you did not give a particular answer, just a generic one. ' Here's the explicit one, if you can afford a MAC with an Intel processor, go with it. Still, it all reduces down that we have our own preferences and virtually all things are subjective, including this.
