1) Shiny! 2) Logic 3) They just work. 4) All the cool kids have them. 5) Why not?
and some reasons against
1) Those adverts with Mitchell and Webb. 2) You'll find yourself feeling rather smug when people start talking about computer troubles in the way that mac users do 3) Shareware. The mac hobby software community are (with a few notable exceptions, ironically usually the very cream) are money grabbing bastards. Things that should be free often aren't. 4) The initial outlay is not cheap (I could go on about total cost of ownership and things, but the fact still remains that the initial outlay is rather a lot). 5) Logic requires hardware anti piracy stuff and thus hasn't been cracked, and costs a fortune too, so you'll need to shell out for that on top of the powerbooks price. lots of love Patrick XXXX
This reply was bought to you on my Powerbook. So despite being on the pro side of the fence, I am aware of that, and thus to try and be balanced seem to weight the cons more heavily for some reason. lots of love Patrick XXXX
Thing is, I'm not doing much music these days so I'm not sure I'd make much use of Logic! I'd be more likely to use the Mac version of Cubase anyway as I'm familiar with it.
Interesting thought though - would it be possible to migrate the Windows Cubase projects to the Mac version somehow?
As with most other cross platform apps, the Cubase files are the same format for both macs and PCs, there's a the occasional quirk, but on the whole it works quite well. I'm pretty sure you could also import them into Logic should you so desire ;-) lots of love Patrick XXXX
I'm kinda tempted myself. Could really do with a machine with a lot less latency and one that runs quieter. I'm assume that will be the case with macs because they're supposedly better for music stuff, but in real life, who knows, especially when the hardware is pretty much the same these days anyway
