Will a MAC be better than a PC for home recording?

[AndyR]

My mac has a right click, who told you it didn't?

I need my eyes tested... on my screen I read that as "My mac has a right dick" :lol:

[_tom_]

Oh I didnt realise you could get right click on a mac.. well thats ok then!

It gets even better.  You can do middle click too in applications that support it.

Muttley can you put me in the right direction if you do the remote access thing? When is it convenient for you to probe around in my pc?

Sure, I'll see what I can do.  Can probably do most evenings after about 8pm (apart from tonight), so let me know and I'll set some time aside.  If we can't get the remote desktop stuff working I could probably talk you through things to check with the help of MSN and the odd screenshot.

The Mac is an interesting system in fact I had one of the first 16 Macs imported to the UK for its launch over 20 years ago (I was recruited for the launch team). The main reason the mac is so good in this area is that very early on it was taken into vertical makets initially publishing but very rapidly it moved to the creative arts, design and music. That focus has influenced the development of the operating system where microsoft was driven by business software. Although over time they have both merged into each others markets that insitial 10 plus years of focus often still shows through, hence the Mac is easier for creative talent.

Sounds fine.

Drop me a PM with your MSN and we'll get it sorted.  :)

Ok I've got my audio signal back after lots of re-installs. The midi  conflict with the axon is still there.

[Johnny Mac]

Muttley got the Axon unit listening to Cubase, which is good. There are still locking up issues. Its very hit and miss. If I change a preset on the Axon unit after recording midi with it, Cubase and the Axon lock up. I think its the PC. The whole machine is a bit unstable, the graphics cards always crashing. It could do with a windows re-install and and everything else re-intalled minus the dodgy warez! That doesn't sound at all appealing, it will take me ages to get all that working again. I'd rather get a new machine as its old. I'm still learning midi as I've never really used it before apart from seeing how it works.
