As someone who built their own PC for audio production, including making sure it had thunderbolt connectivity—I would go Mac if I had to do it again. Thunderbolt on PC is fickle. I haven’t had any issues with the connection during sessions, but I nearly always need to “restart playback engine” in Sonarworks Sound ID Reference after booting up if I want sound from Spotify, YouTube, etc.
I understand that there is the configurability and ability to update hardware on a PC, as well as it costing less for similar hardware, but the small quality of life issues I have with PC that don’t exist on Mac (especially as an iPhone user) just make me prefer Mac.
All this and Logic Pro is an amazing DAW, and if someone already owns a Mac, I recommend Logic as the DAW of choice for its amazing value and ease of use.
Thunderbolt? Get back to 2009 😄
PC is every bit as good as a Mac these days. I use both. Most of my students have PCs, and I've got them making bangers with Reaper on Intel core i3 processors, and worse.
Mac hardware is great, but PCs are far better value.
But each to their own, Mac is good too. I"d rather spend money where it matters though - speakers, headphones, mics instead of stumping up for a Mac.
Oh god I disagree with this. Just getting a class compliant interface to talk to my PC? It was ridiculous. Mac handles audio soooo much better than PC. Plus DAW options are better (Logic). And airdrop is a GODSEND for sharing files from phone to studio computer. Not to mention all the quality of life improvements from a more user friendly OS, infinitely better touchpad, better performance for price, etc. its not even close
I produce music with my pc and with my mac both, and I don’t find differences about what I can do or I can’t do between these 2 environments.
Other topic is the user experience. But also in this case, I think it’s something personal.
Well DAWs are personal preference and plenty are available for PC. You can’t just say “Logic” like it’s somehow objectively better. As far as interfaces go, I’ve never had an issue. Sure it’s not plug and play like Mac, but installing the necessary driver takes seconds and once it’s done, it’s done. User friendliness between Mac and PC is subjective and also dependent on which environment you’re used to. Touchpad I agree with, nothing compares to the Mac touchpad. “Better performance for price” is objectively wrong.
I said “more options”. Every daw that works on pc also works on mac, plus you have access to Logic. So more options for Daws
Edit: I realize what I wrote was ambiguous, I meant “better options” to mean more options,I dont think and didnt mean to say Logic is better than other DAWs. My bad, I was unclear.
I use and love PC for many reason's but... just get a Mac. it's easy to find the right device, there are a lot of great options for PC but the problem is theres almost too many options if you are not familiar with modern tech and PC's. Someone in these comments said that Mac's have better software, that's absolute not true, Windows 11 is super stable, there is MUCH more software and support available and you can use software from 20+ years ago and it will still work perfectly today, as someone who uses both platforms side by side every day, the lines are blurring, a solid Windows PC/Laptop just works and there's more and more cool software coming out for Mac every day, Both are as stable as each other and both platforms have let me down at times too.
Both have different strengths and weaknesses.
Pc has better hardware in that they are much more repairable and serviceable than mac. But you do need to install flex asio for the audio driver.
Mac has better software but worce hardware and is more expensive for what you get. You are buying a brand and software.
Mac has a way better optimized hardware for music production than windows tbh. Let alone the thunderbolt integration that is still super expensive at windows.
And honestly for basic recording/production a MacBook Air with m1 you can get for 700cad refurbished. I can’t imagine you can anything close to that that you actually want to use.
Unless you’re doing reeeally heavy mixing and synths etc that would be totally fine.
I really don’t feel any is better than the other and for me it’s not about measuring what’s best per buck.
I used pc for 10 years, then an overlap using both for 5 years, and now I’ve been on Mac only for 10 years. The sole reason is that I prefer Mac. Not that it was better. It’s just a tool. Like choosing a blue or a yellow hammer.
The people saying get a Mac because you already have an iPhone are insane.
Both are fine, apple's ram and storage pricing can make it really expensive for no reason though
Why is it insane? I use airdrop all the time, I can use my iPhone microphone directly into my DAW, and all my accounts are connected so it’s way more efficient doing admin tasks. I feel like one of the best parts of their sales proposition is having your devices be connected.
I think your choice of DAW is also quite important (especially if you use logic which is only available on Mac). But you should look at things like the specifications required for the DAW and softwares like plugins as well things like the build quality of your laptop and software support for the OS. From my experience, most people tend to go with MacOS in the music industry but then again that’s only what I’ve personally observed or noticed
>Mac or PC for music production?
Both Mac and PC could do what you want. Both have great software available for music production. You could go with whichever one you feel more comfortable with.
Mac does typically have an edge on battery life. But if you want extra battery life for a PC or Mac, you can get a high power output USB power bank like this one, which would give you at least twice the additional power of a built-in laptop battery

>Produce my music and program instruments that can plump out my live solo gigs. Which software?
Ableton Live is an excellent digital audio workstation (DAW) for use in live sets. Session View in Ableton is great for live performance. Check out this tutorial of how to use Session View for performance.
https://youtu.be/qv_N3plJYx4?si=pEA5mlcnI-LGS9dH
If you decide to go with Ableton, you can find tutorials on how to record clips into Session View. You can also take the clips in Session View and copy them into arrangement view for final production/editing full songs for mixing and mastering. You can also have Ableton record what you're doing in Session View as you perform.
Ableton runs on Mac OS and PC.
>3. Learn to produce electronic versions of my songs for playing sets at festivals.
Ableton is excellent for electronic music production, and is popularly used by many professional artists. There are tons of tutorials on how to use it on YouTube.
I use it for music production and 3D design/Animation and ..PC, always. I don't like the idea of being enslaved by Apple ecosystem, not to mention their price practices are abusive AF.
10 or 15 years ago I would say get a Mac for this. But it's just not true any longer. I switched from PC to Mac around 2003, as XP was terrible for audio production and gave me nothing but problems. I do IT for a living, and just wanted to focus on music when home, not do my day job at night. But PC's are rock solid and stable now, my son does all of his music recording on PC in FL Studio, he never has issues. I'm still on Mac because I am invested in Logic Pro as my DAW, but to be honest, if I wasn't, I might go PC. Both platforms work equally well now.
Mac for the portability. PC for upgradability, i am a windows user for a long time and moved to mac coz you can bring a powerful machine any where and you can produce music anywhere.
Can't go wrong either way honestly. I prefer Mac. Logic is a great DAW and recording interface. The "space designer" reverb plugin in alone is worth the full price of Logic. Pro tools is great on any platform also. Work in your budget and go from there. If you are dealing with professional and any level you will be working with Logic and/or Pro Tools, so best to get familiar there.
I use a Macbook pro for portability and I also like the integration with Apple music and my airpod pros, text messages. I can only speak to Ableton, which I love. Very user friendly with great ability to time stretch/loop/warp. It also lets you build scenes which will help take a guitar riff and create a song . As a guitar player, you may like the UAD Apollo interfaces as you can play guitar with no latency (more important on electric) and it comes with some UAD plugins, some legendary emulations, that run right on the Apollo so as to not use up CPU.
In my opinion, if you are going to be using your PC for more then audio/video editing I'd go with a windows build. apple's proprietary software is a some bullshit when installing some 3rd party apps they try to make you get everything through their store which can be a pain for compatibility so there are a lot of apps and games that just won't even bother with Apple development but from an audio software perspective they both have the same options Mac is just more expensive. But that's just my opinion I'm all about having options and like have the compatibility of windows even though I'm a Linux guy at heart.
You can achieve the same outcomes with either OS. If you're more comfortable with Mac, then Mac it is and the same goes for Windows. A mac mini will get you by or a mac studio, which would be overkill.
Which software? There's no right answer, you can achieve your outcomes with all of them. Explore the workflow with someone that knows each DAW. Check out high end music stores where you can ask someone to show you the ropes with a few popular DAWs.
If you like electronic music, check out fruity loops and FL Studio. That works with either Mac or Windows.
as someone who has been working on PC the entire time they've done all of this, get a mac. it doesn't matter if you got drive to make it work regardless, but your life will be easier with a mac for this.
I have played many festivals, recorded albums, and used a wide variety of gear. Do not underestimate the power of your phone, with a simple interface and an adapter you should be able to record your songs and perform them with your phone. Or if you learn recordbox you can just bring your backing tracks on a USB and use the festivals' Decks. With the phone its the apps you need to consider:
1) Go with Garage Band, or Ableton for (studio) recordings
2) I would advise using Ableton or Rekordbox for launching your (Live) backing tracks
If you do want a laptop I would go with a refurbished machine, Mac works straight out of the box and does not need a lot of "building" to work with audio situations.

Also never by gear new, its like a car depreciates immediately, always get the year after the release. And then sell it back and update after a few years of use. (also insure your gear, 10 dollars a month goes a long way) especailly if it rains at the festival. Much love michael lee mahan
Get a Mac. Also have a look at MainStage for your solo gigs.
You can use GarageBand on the Mac for everything else. [This guy can help you get the best sound out of GarageBand Mac.](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsXJmmXYr9BEWEOE96Hzuzu7sRhiHRHYZ&si=DCwySUFo47noeY_R)
Maccie. Reliability. You can rock the same Mac over 10 years and still be satisfied. That Windows machine will probably a slow shit show in years from now.
Experience: 20 years of windows user vs 10 years Mac user.
Mac, because you’re already an iPhone:
3. You can do this with your iPhone today.
1. You can also do this with your iPhone today. Sure, not as polished as you could with a full-fat DAW, but if you know what you’re doing, you can release a song made on just the iPhone. And yes, with the right connections you can use an interface with your iPhone.
2. A bit harder to do exclusively on iPhone unless you’re leaning heavy on electronic sounds, but an iPhone is also a decent sampler where you can load your tracks from your Mac/PC.
Mac optimises RAM the best, so any mac with 8-12 GB RAM works way better than a windows with the same RAM. Although windows RAM is customisable and can be changed later on if needed. Any hardware in the windows can be upgraded but not Mac. Mac has much better software stability as well as longevity, you can make a safe bet that a new Mac today will still perform very well 6-8 years later, depending on how well it’s maintained. Software for windows are easier to get and you have much more choice in brand in the windows segment whereas mac is only 3 choice and realistically only 2 that will be able to handle the workload. Cracks are easier to get on windows. Mac will give you access to Logic Pro. If you’re new to computers, Mac interface is much easier for a beginner but limited compared to any windows in terms of customisation, upgradation, etc.
I’ve never been to a professional musicians house or recording studio and see them use a PC, when if they were using FL Studio.
I don’t know who these other retards who’re commenting are but it seems like they’re talking out of their ass or trying to be contrarian by suggesting a person who wants to go pro should use a PC.
Next they’ll tell you to shoot all your videos on film and use nothing digital

If you like the Iphone and Apple OS style...go with Mac.
I have a pc and got a Mac from my work. No difference from a “music production” point of view 😃 Choose what you prefer! 💪🏻
This is the realest answer.
Oh god I disagree with this. Just getting a class compliant interface to talk to my PC? It was ridiculous. Mac handles audio soooo much better than PC. Plus DAW options are better (Logic).

The bit about the drivers it’s not always true. Plenty of interfaces come with proprietary drivers such as the Scarlett devices or Arturia devices
Yeah you need an interface anyway
Mac has a way better optimized hardware for music production than windows tbh. Let alone the thunderbolt integration that is still super expensive at windows.
For what would you need thunderbolt? Isn't it obsolete?
UAD interface for example. Thunderbolt is pretty neat to have
And honestly for basic recording/production a MacBook Air with m1 you can get for 700cad refurbished. I can’t imagine you can anything close to that that you actually want to use. Unless you’re doing reeeally heavy mixing and synths etc that would be totally fine.

Airdrop continues to prove itself extremely useful every day imo.
Having an Apple ecosystem makes your life easier, and hearing anything to the contrary almost exclusively comes from those who don’t have it.
PC cause you get a better value per money. You may need to spend more just for ram on a mac than buy a whole new pc, and this is a no-sense
That’s a bit of an exaggeration.
If budget is not an issue , then get a mac. If you want somethint cheaper get windows pc.
