I mix and produce music for a lot of local bands in my area. I am currently using the Abletone 7 Suite software on a Dell desktop I purchased from Best Buy a couple of years back.
I had my heart set on a Mac Book set up for music production but then I did some research and found a "Rain" PC sold through a musician mail order place. I have never heard of this company but they are a bit cheaper than the Mac and they claim to have the same performance.
The Ableton software I use is very broad. It consists of numerous libraries and files full of everything from small sound clips to full song demos, so hard drive space is priority. My Dell starts to slow down as you "mesh" the clips together and sometimes it completely locks up. Very frustrating when you work on a song for 2 hrs then you lose it cuz your system brain farts.
Just wondering if you guys thought this one is worth the money, as far as what I would be using it for, or should I just break the bank and get the Mac? I'm still kind of new to the Mac so any help is appreciated.
