Help convince me to go Mac...

Ouch! Don't worry, I try to avoid them like the plague, thanks.

Wonder why there are virtually no Pro Tools HD systems running on epic custom PC's in professional studios.

Do you know Pyramix?

And not that it should really have a bearing on somebody's decision on which platform to go with, but I wonder why the biggest majority of professionals in graphics design, audio production and video work with Macs. The argument that they have the money is stupid. If they have the money, don't you think they would try and save some by building one of these uber PCs that everyone talks about being so "rock-solid"? No. They buy a Mac because it fucking works.

Oh...it's because they just don't know how to use a PC man!

Nope, heard its pretty nice though. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Pro Tools the industry standard?

Still doesn't answer my question about large studios using Pro Tools HD systems on a PC.

Do you know Pyramix?

"The Pyramix digital production system is the most powerful digital audio production system on the market."

For the record, I'm not a fan of ProTools either.

Didn't your mom ever ask you if you would jump off the bridge just because everybody else did it?

Funny SAWStudio makes the same claims, generally speaking, as Pyramix. Never heard of Pyramix though.

I buy things I want based on my own experiences, trying stuff out, listening to people whom I value the opinion of, user reviews and feedback, etc. I don't buy anything because somebody simply told me to. That is dumb. I happen to like money.

And someone who is a PC user is different how?

 

[SocialNumb]

Guess all Mac users are brain washed into thinking they have a good machine. Especially the pro users, they're the worst bunch. Non of them know what they are doing. If they did, they would all have uber custom built windows machines. :Smug:

My self, I like dicking around with parts! This one time I put an organic vagina into my PC and man did that thing scream! Kicked the shit out of any Mac I've ever used. Cooled by natural lubricant.

I used Macs for 9000 years and in my experience they fell apart before I unpacked them. Pieces of shit, I tell you!

For Protools, there is simply no other choice. Windows FTW! I can tweek it to hell! Fuck the music. I like looking inside and seeing what makes it tic.

Take it from me I invented computers.

I never said they were different, Oz.

 

[Mulder]

Industry standard?

Yup.

Only one that can handle SACD format, and code in bitstream.

Its digital without ANY of the drawbacks.

Ever wondered why so many PTbased studios still use desks?

 

[006]

Gosh it's all so awful.

SAW....

I fucked them up real hard a couple of years ago.. Longest thread ever on their forum, cos I stated here that all of the known DAW's zero their mixing engines. They violently refused to believe so, and called me stupid.

That was fun. Reminded me of a certain computerplatform and their userbase.

ROFL!

Sounds familiar from the other side of the fence too...ROFL!

Oh yeah, ever wondered why PT upgraded their mixingengine to 48 bits?

Dude, if you can put together a better running PC than I can, I want to know how you did it.

That's the WHOLE difference.

 

[Metaltastic]

Hahahahahahhhahhahaa, what the fuck is Pyramix!? Seems like the same thing as Linux; embraced by a small but "elite" (excuse me: 1337) community of super-nerds who may well be on to something, but are always bitterly aggressive because NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT IT
