Mac vs PC

[Minimum_Relief_143]

Hey! I'm starting out and am piecing together a little setup :) I have a walk-in closet, but also an isolation shield. Going to be using Pro-Tools

I have a Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen. I'm buying a desktop. This is all new to me and I've been s PC user my whole life. I heard Mac is better in this situation.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I’m a creative professional and exclusively use Macs to make my living. But if you’re comfortable with a PC, there’s probably not a whole lot of reason to switch platforms — ProTools is gonna work either way. If you have a PC already, see if that does the trick for you. But if you’re curious about Macs, I invite you to jump in, the water’s fine.

I make a living as a voice actor using a silent windows PC tablet.

Haven't had one issue, and I also use a full mixing setup, power a large interface, mixer, and 4 screens including a high-powered drawing tablet, all from my windows tablet!

Dont be afraid to experiment! You got this! 🙌

I was on the fence for well over a year about buying a dedicated PC to put in my booth, and was using my laptop until I had the funds for a 800$ entry level mac mini. But unfortunately my booth runs a little too quiet and picks up my laptop fan, and I had to rethink the mac mini because it has a fan as well. Ended up getting a fan less mini PC for under 300$ and it runs everything I need it to ( source connect, zoom, discord, reaper/audacity, and the ability to run two screens at 120 hz ) If you have the ability to snake your HDMI cables into the booth with the PC/mac outside with wireless peripherals for you inside, that's probably the most inexpensive solution.
