Hello Fellow Music Lovers,
I have been using PC's mostly because of Gigasampler back in '99.
I packed 3 x 4U ATX's w/ 3 x Scope Pro's over a 3 year period and have making music and money w/ them ever since.
I just love the Scope Fusion Platform, and recently await the new XITE-1 that will be Mac/PC 32bit for it's initial release.
I absolutely hate modern O.S.'s, as they seem to be like politicians, trying to please everyone.
The PC's I use have been 100% stable for automation purposes and for live performance which is also a large part of my income.
To me having a powerful live performance DAW is essential, as I find when I record, large templates, like the type I use live are helpful for when recording.
I have also noticed in studios I frequent that ProTools/Mac rigs have been the choice since '92/'93, even though the HDD's were the size of a shoebox, and Lexicon's NuVerb sounded like crap, so I insisted on my PCM70.
I love my DSP 1U which I recently had the oppurtunity to sit down and dig into at NAMM, so it will be a large part of my rig.
I would love to see an O.S. that is more musically orientated, such as the ability to take advantage of future advancements using SSD's, etc.
I would love to escape the slavery of M$ O.S.'s and go for a more tailored approach.
I came her to learn, and would love to hear exactly why members need a Mac. I cannot seem to get straight answers from my Mac buddies running ProTools other than they like having a nice support apparatus and warranty.
Afterall, they are engineers,and just want a tinker free solution.
So why would I need a Mac O.S. to run romplers and a 1U DSP powerhouse....
I am literally sitting on the fence.
