Mac or PC?

I'm about to buy a new system for recording (my P3 450 is dying out) and I'm really split on what to get.



I've heard mac is more simple to use (which I love the sound of) but it also means getting used to a whole new computer setup (I've been using PCs all my life)



Is there really a huge difference between the two?

A client will bring in a session recorded on a Mackie HD recorder and we would like to edit and mix the stuff on my PT|HD rig running on a Mac G4 OS X. (all the tracks have been 'consolidated'.)



My plan is to just take the drive out of the SCSII enclosure and connect it to my Mac or insert it into a Firewire enclosure.

I want to move over to Mac for my Mobile DAW. I'll be using Logic Audio 6 or Pro (so I'll be able to take advatage of the "freeze track" function, which is suppose to do wonders for cpu free-up). Should I go with a Ibook G4 900 or a Tibook 867? Does the L2 Cache make that much of a difference?

Hi all,



I compared DP 3.11 to DP 2.72 and heard some suprising differences in warmth and detail. 2.72 was better. 3.11 was brighter, dryer, and lacked low-level detail.



I really want to demo another application to further my research. I have ther 2408MKII, so I suppose the application would need to be compatible with that as well as OS9.

Need advice for a mac user just starting.

I have a Pro Tools song that is originally created on a Mac computer. Now a have the song on a CD and wants to work with it on my PC. When a use Windows to view the CD contents I notice that there are no file-extensions on the files. I can rename the sessionfile an manually add the '.pts' on the filename, but when I then try to open it in Pro Tools, the program says:
