there is a time and a place for "correct english", an internet forum isn't really one of them, imo of course!
i know people who have designed hundreds of things for bnfl (look it up if you dont know) using autocad, on a PC. the things they were designing were to be used to aid the decommissioning of sellafield and dounreay power stations. that is professional, your website in comparision is a piece of amateur crap and needs no more than a 5 year old pc to build, not a overpriced mac book.
notice how its only people who care about appearance that shout from the roof tops about mac's?
you have admitted yourelf that your mac has crashed on you before, my pc / laptop has Never crashed once...

It is, and it's part of the forum rules, but apparently you don't know them.

Oh yeah, and they are also 15 like me, right ? What I do is very good for my age, and that's what everyone keeps telling me. You're opinion isn't worth anything to me ... everyone can say that he knows someone who did this and that.. that's too easy man.
I'm 15 years old, yes, and what's your prob ? You think you're better or what, just because you're older ? You say my website is crap, well look at yours first. I've done mine by myself, you had to pay someone for yours.. the name of the company or whatever it is is written at the bottom of your page ( too lazy to give it another look.. ). I bet you don't even know what HTML is …
I like programming and stuff like that, and I'm also a real DJ, YES! I have real Turntables OMG do you want pictures ?! And I even have a REAL mixer  z0mG!! And YES I know how to produce songs, I even take Piano lessons! Is that enough ? Dude I'm 16 in not even 2 months, WTF are you expecting from me ?
And no, I never said that my mac crashed, I said that if I have 35 apps opened, which require a lot of power, my mac freezes for some seconds sometimes. But this never happens because I never have 35 apps open at the same time. Read carefully before you open your big mouth.

i didn't say i could do better. i agree that what you do is good for someone who is 15, but you do not need an expensive apple mac to do it

by your own admission, your mac froze (crashed). just because you now never have that many open doesnt mean your mac is exempt.
ps, i didn't open my mouth, i am talkin on a forum, that is typing not speaking

That has nothing to do with my mac dude, I have a mac because I already had one when I was 5, because I prefer mac, because one day when I will be working on more advanced stuff I will already know how to use them. That's all.
What I understand by when a computer 'crashes' is that it's completely frozen and you have to restart it. That never hapened to me. It's just that it could be very very slow, but that'd be even worse on windows, trust me. You know, I have both, mac and windows, and I know exactly which one is better.
Well, let's stop with that now, it's ridiculous..

i would but you are suggesting people go out there and buy a mac because they are better than a PC, yet you have given no good reason other than PC's crash more. if mac is so good why do you have a pc?
its one thing giving an opinion on something you own but to shoot something else down to make it sound better isn't the way to go

I didn't give any reason because someone else did :
quote:
windows is very flexible but not very stable you can run into allot of soft where conflicts if you have to many plugins which can result in random crashes of your DAW while macs dont
That's true. If you're looking for some filesharing program, they are 95% chances that you don't find the one you were looking for for mac, but if you're a film director and you made a movie, you will not use windows, because film applications on mac are way better than on windows.
I have a PC for school.

if there are programs out that are only available on mac, and they are better than anything released on a pc, then of course the mac is the only choice, that doesnt mean it is a better computer though :)

I wrote most of this reply yesterday, but some friends came over so couldnt finish. So some may have been said already...

Windows are computers for home, or at work, when you work in an office, and you just have to enter numbers in blank fields. Seriously, do you think Pixar uses Windows ? No he uses Mac. And I guess there's a reason why. Do you think Tiesto or Paul van Dyk uses Windows ? Haha you're gonna crack me up..
I honestly have no idea what Pixar uses, and couldnt care less what Tiesto or PvD use, as they suck anyway.

The fact alone that you believe what the guy says, proves that you don't have your own opinion. Did you ever compare the sales from Microsoft and Apple in the last years ? No, that's not only because of the iPod and iPhones, it's also because of their computers. More and more macbooks are being sold.
I dont need you to search for anything, ive been using Mac since 1990 every now and then. Its my dads choice of computer, and my little sister uses one too (into where i installed everything btw). Windows has ~90% market share last time i checked, but i couldnt give a **** either way. I dont hate Apple, nor love Windows. Also iPhone is a fashion accessory.

And windows costs more than mac trust me. Maybe not when you buy it, at the beginning, but at the end it does. When you buy a mac, you already have everything on it. If you buy windows you have the buy office then, and some other stuff.. if you think like that you're just dumb.
Trust you? After almous a dozen of windows computers, i know pretty well the end cost thank you very much. I have bought (what didnt come with the PC, excluding games) Paint Shop Pro 9 and DVD Profiler. Both were bought years ago and still do the job. Other then that all have been free, see thats the beauty of a huge userbase. Btw if you havent heard OpenOffice is pretty much the same as MS Office, except its free. Check out Neoffice for mac, its based on OpenOffice, also free.

...and this is why i post to topics like this, i dont hate Mac's. I dont even dislike them. I think they are good computers and know many like them better then Windows computers. But I work in one of the biggest architecture office in Finland, ive worked with dozens of diffrent companys (professionals of their trade i would say), i have yet to encounter a single office that used Mac's. Not a single one. So maby you should do some research first :P

Ever heard of Deadmau5? He uses FL Studio. On a PC. Pretty unprofessional for one of the hottest dance music producers around at the moment, huh?

The world would be a better place if people could just get it through their minds that the entire mac vs pc debate boils down to opinion. Everyone uses computers for different things, there's absolutely no way to create some sort of "scale" to declare one better than the other.
Btw, speaking in absolutes and stating things such as "every professional does it this way" is really, really foolish.

Well, everyone uses what he prefers. The question of the topic was "I wonder if my 2.1 GHz MacBook would be up for it" and the answer is YES.

if it wasnt for the ipod i highly doubt we would be having this conversation atm. the PC was by far more popular until the ipod went big, which proppelled appels name, well at least where i live. i hav a lot of friends that game, and they all have $2000-$4000 PC one of them is even sponsored by intel, and they wouldnt go near a mac. just a thought.

I doubt that will be the finished product, notebooks just do not have the power to run all the shit you need in production, they will overheat if you were to produce a professional fully mastered track. Desktop computers can be upgraded to have much better soundcards than notebooks which is important when producing and can generally handle more processing power.
Not true at all.
Many producers I've worked with, as well as myself use a laptop to produce in our studio. We obviously have firewire audio interfaces and studio monitors, but I've produced on the bus before.
Obviously you wouldn't mixdown or master a track on the bus though.
Laptops these days have more than enough power to produce. Either way, even a slow computer can be used to produce if you render sections. Just a few years ago everyone had desktop computers MUCH slower than today's notebooks.
However, I don't think seeing a big name minimal house DJ producing on a mac is a good argument at all.
I MUCH prefer using Cubase on my friend's Macbook Pro than using Cubase on my PC but that's because the OS has features that are wicked for production (multiple desktops that you can easily switch between for example), and everything just WORKS. No dealing wtih stupid USB problems, multiple monitor problems, Firewire problems, etc.
I used to hate Macs but the MBP is perfect for audio.
