PC or Mac for music recordings?

In the future I want to record my own music, possibly also producing beats.

Now the question is whether I prefer a Mac or a PC.

I do not yet know how I'm priced because I'm not familiar with such a thing, but hope so up to a maximum of 500-600 euro

the pc / mac should only be used for music production.

of course I will also use things like Spotify, twitch, yt, internet explorer (films), but everyone can do that.

In principle, Mac is better for digital work than Windows. However, you don't get there with 600 euro, you have to put at least 500 euro on it for something clever…

You can never get a MacBook for 600 euro. Unless it's needed or you have a voucher or something.

I would buy a mac book. I see a lot of people working with it, a lot of YouTube, music producers and others.

you can get a Mac for at least 800 euro. But the Mega is well worth the price

Well with 500 euro there will be no Mac. With luck something needed.

In itself I would actually recommend a Mac because then you can use logic. This is good software for getting started and home recording. Because even the standard presets are really good.

Otherwise I would advise you to put together a PC yourself. Graka only the most necessary. RAM and processor should be good. Enough disk space. Minimum 1 Tb rather 2Tb

That doesn't work.

But Apple is overpriced.

Save your money.

I have an old P7. It is connected to a Harman cordon amplifier and 2 Magnat boxes.

Great sound. So good that the police have visited me before. But a box just costs 1000 euro

The one on the board is completely sufficient.

I always ask myself about the compatibility of the file formats.

Apple likes to cook its own soup there.

Sorry that I have to push you in there but the statement "Mac is generally better for digital work than Windows" is nonsensical.

There's no OS that is generally better suited for general work on a computer.

Di

Good question hehe😅

Di

Can you generally recommend a pc to me? Or do you say put it together yourself

problem, assemble from pc and all the individual parts I also have no idea

only know how to use it😂

It is good to look at the market shares in the MAC / WIN context.

MAC feels gigantic. In fact, it looks a little different. And in the studio context there are also other actors involved. So I want to be careful, I say.
