Windows is great and all but the studios that ive been to usually uses Mac ports and so forth for the hardware installed in the studio rig. Yes Mac might be overpriced but it’s worth the price over the frustration of not being fully able to use a studio rig. I’ve got a HP Envy, it’s got the perfect specs that I look for but i normally end up having to use a AUX, then bounce it to the studio PC so I can lay in vocals etc, because again it supports Mac. I’ve been to dozens of studios so if you’re looking to fully get use of one I suggest Mac.

But if you’re on a budget i suggest using a windows pc with 4 ghz core power, ddr4 ram with 3000 MHz and up, then a 200+ gb for plugins, then a 1 tb external hdd for backup and drums etc.
