It’s the legendary Question but which is better?

I own a mobile recording studio mainly used for recording live gigs.

At the moment I have a PreSonus FP10 and an old Mesh laptop recently the mesh has died and am looking towards getting a new one.

What should I go for... Mac or Pc? Which is better for recording?

Thanks in advance...

I'm trying to record my high school concert bands (winds) and I have an interface hooked up with mics and such but I can't get the laptop to receive the line-in signal instead of the built in mic signal for input. Just trying to get some mild recordings of the band. We went into system preferences and clicked on line-in for the input, but Garageband is still only using the built in mic.

Hi,

Firstly-Sorry in advance for the length of this question! I've been playing with a mac intel imac OS X 10.4.7 and garageband just using line-in ports for electric guitar/inbuilt mic for acoustic guitar and vocals for a while now and I'd like to get it to sound a bit better using an audio interface...

Im looking at upgrading my computer to a G5 and I was wondering which one would get the job done. Should i go with a 1.8ghz or like a 2.5ghz? Right now I'm just using my mbox to record a few ideas for my band but i would like to have a home studio and eventually start a business out of it.

Ok here it goes.
I currently have a 2001 Mac G4 Digital Audio quicksilver with a MOTU 324 card paired with a MOTU 1224 and MOTU 24i interface. Nothing works now because:
1. my mac hard drive crashed and lost the original factory OSX system which USED to recognise and work well with the 324 card.

So I've been hunting around and can't find the mac equivilant of the windows quick key "Ctrl + tab" to tab through all open windows. Can anyone share this with me?

Im getting a Mac soon and Im on the hunt for a really good program, I'm really looking into Logic, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

I'm upgrading my studio. Have a M-Audio Firewire 410 interface that's been giving me all sorts of trouble (software interface is buggy, drops out and comes back garbled, etc.).

Been looking hard at the PreSonus Firestudio (8 XLR Pres, 26x26 total with the optical I/O - never used the optical I/O on the 410, but need to experiment with that...need cables yet).

I used to run a G4 Powerbook 1.5Ghz processor, 2GB ram, external FW HD, MOTU 896HD sound card, in Digital Performer 4.5
it was a great setup i admit, but i wasn't pleased with it's "POWER"

hi everyone.
