New Mac

good man , any help wanted give us a shout on msn ..

will do mate

im a bit confused as to why you would buy a mac from using a pc if it wasn't to use something specific like Logic - you could have put cubase on a pc and still used all the apps/vst's you were used to

dual boot would give you the option of either os, i think bootcamp runs one on top of the other

Reason is the the favourite production app i've used for my mac - it's quite heavy going at first but you can do loads with it. Worth a look if you're after something new mate

i still use my laptop and my computer and the stuff on them all i wanted to know is if u cud convert it so i didnt have to go threw all the hasel. i dont mind if i hav to but if there is a better way then i wud do it, but if your confused to why a mac then im guessin u've never used one? they are class!

actually i havnt, but i recently had to start using safari, and after getting over the slightly different things you have to do with it, and why.. i think i would probably enjoy using a mac as well

i would have to get over the hate i have for certain mac users though, which would probably be harder than converting os

I dont understand why people buy a mac and then use windows? Surely the whole point in getting a mac is because of its operating system?

haha iv been a bit lost at the fact that there is no right click but its much smoother running then a pc. so far anyways

There are apps I have to use at uni that only run on windows- that's the only time i ever do though -

like i sed i didnt i just wanted to know if u cud convert the files to work on the mac that is all.

if you're using a macbook, tap the touchpad with 2 fingers at same time - gives you contextual 'right click' style menu

lol a few visits to youporn will sharp fix that

Logic 8 & Ableton 5.

Truth be told I just bought it for the glow in the dark Apple sign on the front of the Laptop.

iv got ableton 5 not used logic but had mixed feedback on it heard nothing but good things from cubase tho

Ferry Corsten: I've always been on Cubase ever since the Atari days and it's just what I'm used to. I've always been with that and it works fine with me. I tried Logic once but it didn't really seem logical to me, so I went back to Cubase. <laughing>


one of the best producers about so crack on son and make some hitzzzzzzzzz

logic 8 is the best option imo
cheap as chips aswell

ive always been told u get wot u pay for with music production, i know mark lowery used to use ori soft or somethin like that and his productions are always pretty smooth.

Hes saying hes likes Cubase more, not that its better?

You can have the best equipment/software in the world but if you havent got any good ideas then you wont be able to make a good track. Some of the best tracks have been made on a simple drum machine, basic synth and battered old mixing desk yet still sound unreal.

i think its just a case of understanding the workflow on a lot of these programs nowadays, once you get that nailed, you can just get on with being creative - its the steep learning curve that makes or breaks the programs i reckon

i found once i was done with the initial lessons in ableton, that made me want to learn more about the program - before that i thought cubase was good but i had to think about it too much, and prior to that i used to like using cakewalk

of course, everyone is different, so just because your mate works well with something, doesnt mean you will - although having someone to call will be handy when you're tearing your hair out at 3am
