Which is the best Operating System for Music Production?  email this discussion to a friend?

SeANi0W (57)   ranked 809 out of 6,370 in computer 4 years ago

I am a Sound Enginner from the UK.

I have always used Windows XP as my operating system for making music on.

Alot of the more proffessional producers and studios use Macs (MAC OS??) AND SAY THAT THEY ARE MUCH BETTER FOR MAKING MUSIC ON.

Why is this???

What Operating system do you use?? and why??

Id love to know what you all have to say on this sbject.

Thanks for dropping by. Peace and Love

Its not the Operating System that is important for doing something, it is the software applications that you need that will do your job.

Both Mac and PC can have sound editing, video editing and related software installed and the software is the main thing that will help you for doing music production

Thanks for that, I will take that in to consideration.

I have used Windows XP, because it has proved to be a really good Operating System for me, and most of software that I want to use is compatible with it (unlike Vista).

Do you make any types of Music Yourself???

What Operating System do you use??

Thanks once again for all your help!!

There is a lot of music production software available for Windows. One of my friends use Cool Edit ( now known as Adobe Audition ). You can try it but its will cost you a lot of money for this piece of software.

i HAVE HEARD OF THIS SOFTWARE BUT AS YET, i HAVE NOT HAD CHANCE TO TRY IT OUT..

I use Pro Tools and Ableton Live for most of my projects and have found them to work very well for me and the type of music i am producing at the moment.

Thanks for your comment!!

Mac OS has a great base for music production.
The next best option is Windows XP.

Take programming for example.
Linux has a really cool and great base for programming.
Nothing can be compared to what Linux offers to programmers.

Similarly what Mac OS provides to musicians can not be compared to anything else.

Thanks for your comment.

I thinking of 'upgrading' to a mac later in the year when my finances are a bit better!!

Probably going to be looking at the MACBOOK PRO due to the fact that they are fast, and I can perform Live with it as well ....

alot of my friends are now also making the change from PC to MAC.. iM SURE i WILL NEVER LOOK BACK!!

Thank you for selecting my response as the best.
I am sure you'll never regret switching over to MAC OS.
Wish you all the best for your future...happy

It really depends on the musician/producer on what OS or hardware is available.


SeANi0W (57)   ranked 809 out of 6,370 in computer  4 years ago

yes, that was one of the things that has kept me away from the mac, due to the compatability issues with some of my favourite plugins...

However, I have just been doin some reseacch on mac's and have now realised that you can dual boot with XP or Vista so I could just revert back to window when their was a problem with software.
