Computers For Music production  

Well, you need to have the best system of all to go for music production! If you want a buget PC, you ll need to assemble a computer. If not, mac computers are the best for music composition. If you are building one, you need lots of CPU power for sound processing, more than 1GB RAM(comes handy while editing sequences). Most of all you should invest in and external sound card!!!(This is the horse power) Creative is the best. Mine cost about Rs 7000/-. I got a mixer with 8inputs too. Works pretty well. which s/w are you using for recording and editing?

Well the main purpose of having a computer for music production is for your DAW (digital audio workstation) and choosing the right computer for you really depends. If you like to use Logic Studio, then go for a MAC as it is where Logic runs. Some other DAW works on MAC too like Pro Tools and Ableton Live. But if you are more of a electronic producer, I say go for a pc and have Fruity Loops studio installed in it. FL studio doesn't run on mac, but it's a good program.

Overall it doesn't matter whatever brand you are looking for just always look for a cpu with enough power and memory ( because if they're low in power and memory, your computer will have some crashes in the middle of your production). Always know the right screen size. If you are a mixer or someone more into mastering, then go for a bigger screen. If not, buy two screens. Also, think of software and hardware compatibilities.
