RE: Mac Versus Windows
Yes there is a MAC version of Sound Forge. It's brand new. One thing I do like is that with a Sound Devices USB Pre2 Audio Interface, you get it;'s full 192 thousand KHZ 24 Bit capability right out of the box. On the PC though, you have to install a driver. I don't know if that's too bad, but it's one less thing to do on a MAC. I hear Pro Tools is some what accessible on the MAC. Not completely, but some what. Back to sound forge for a minute. I told you there is SF Pro for the MAC, cabable of full 192 thousand KHZ 64 Bit just like the PC one. Pluss like the PC one it can record 32 channals. I should think that comes out to be 30.2 surround sound. I can't say as to weather MAC audio is better then PC audio not having used a MAC for recording, but it could be true what with how Apple makes everything and only wants the best. Before I forget, I should note that the Screenless Switchers podcast is recorded on a MAC I think anyways, and I didn't hear much difference. Note I don't think they used Pro Equipment like the before mentioned Sound Devices audio interface which goes for $600. Or Pro mikes. Not even something basic like a Sure SM58. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Gary Wood Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 9:14 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Mac Versus Windows I heard someone tell me that Apple's multimedia is better than that of Windows systems. - Original Message - From: "Dave Trevino" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 4:08 PM Subject: Mac Versus Windows > Hi Listers, > > A point of curiosity here.

Re: Mac Versus Windows
I heard someone tell me that Apple's multimedia is better than that of Windows systems. - Original Message - From: "Dave Trevino" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 4:08 PM Subject: Mac Versus Windows Hi Listers, A point of curiosity here. For the serious audio efficinado, which is better, the Mac with speech right out of the box, or a windows-based system with whichever screen reader you prefer? It seems that a lot of people in the recording industry think that Apple is really appealing. (Punn Intended.) Information security people I know say that you have less trouble with viruses with a Mac. And a rising number of blind users seem to feel that you get more power with your purchase. There is that nasty learning curve to deal with, but I'm wondering if it could be any worse than facing all the things that you could do easily or relatively easy with XP, but seem to be more difficult to do with Vista or Windows 7 or any of the other advanced Windows operating systems. Does it ultimately come down to knowing the capabilities of your own personal system? I'm wondering what my next computer should be? Is there a Mac version of Sound Forge? Is the Mac version of Pro-tools really accessible for a totally blind person? With the U.S. becoming more and more a nation of free lancers, it would be good to know what to rely on in the audio production arena. Any opinions and analysis out there?

Mac Versus Windows
Hi Listers, A point of curiosity here. For the serious audio efficinado, which is better, the Mac with speech right out of the box, or a windows-based system with whichever screen reader you prefer? It seems that a lot of people in the recording industry think that Apple is really appealing. (Punn Intended.) Information security people I know say that you have less trouble with viruses with a Mac. And a rising number of blind users seem to feel that you get more power with your purchase. There is that nasty learning curve to deal with, but I'm wondering if it could be any worse than facing all the things that you could do easily or relatively easy with XP, but seem to be more difficult to do with Vista or Windows 7 or any of the other advanced Windows operating systems. Does it ultimately come down to knowing the capabilities of your own personal system? I'm wondering what my next computer should be? Is there a Mac version of Sound Forge? Is the Mac version of Pro-tools really accessible for a totally blind person? With the U.S. becoming more and more a nation of free lancers, it would be good to know what to rely on in the audio production arena. Any opinions and analysis out there? I want the next move I make in production equipment to be a sound one. Looking for feedback. Thanks.
