To literally everyone else who doesn’t fall into the category of “PC nerd”, just get a Mac. Both of which are true.īut these benefits only really apply to PC nerds who know how to work under the hood. Those who prefer PC’s typically argue that you get more power your money, and you can customize/supercharge them however you like. And these days, most of the music world (and rest of the world) agrees.įor this reason, the vast majority of the music industry prioritizes their software compatibility for Macs. Having said that, here’s my take on the subject: If he uses a Mac, tell him PC’s are better.īecause for some strange reason, this topic incites violent debates…that last forever, and ultimately result in no new insights.īut the truth is, you can make great music on either one, and the topic isn’t nearly as important as some might have you believe. If he uses a PC in his studio, tell him Macs are the best laptops for music production. Want to know the easiest way to piss-off a recording geek? Here’s what you do: Up next… Are Macs or PC’s Better for Music Production? In laptops with SSD hard drives however, it’s a much smaller issue. In small bedroom studios especially, the noise from a laptop can actually be a HUGE problem when recording through a microphone. This allows you to keep the tower in a separate room so the fan noise doesn’t bleed into the microphones. Perhaps the biggest benefit of having a desktop computer for music production is the fact that the tower is separate from the monitor. Customization Options – to add more RAM, hard drives, video cards, etc.More IN’s/OUT’s – for large sophisticated routings.Maximum Speed/Processing – since the larger desktop housing still allows for much more power.The only exception in need of a desktop would be a pro-level studio, that requires: Since they’re both cheaper and far more portable as well, they’re the obvious choice for 95% of musicians. Which means that these days, almost any decent laptop can do just about anything you need to when it comes to music production. It’s also true that laptops are exponentially faster than even the priciest desktops from just a decade ago. There was a time years ago when the biggest concern with using laptops for music production was the fact that they weren’t nearly as fast or powerful as desktops.
