Mac Or Pc For Music Production 2016
Brownhousemedia said I am a mac user and love itbut if I were starting new I would go with a PC. Apple has already abandoned the professional video community and I am afraid that they are becoming a gadget company and will lose interest in the computer side of the business. If you look at the speed of updates on the Mac side of the business you can already see that happening. Pains me to say, I agree. There is more money in FMCG products to be made by Apple than computers for music and video now.
I use Mac for music creation/recording, and Windows for 'sound editing'. Mac has better music recording/production apps. Windows has better sound editing apps. Therein lies the best reason to buy an Apple PC - you can run both OS's on the same machine. Welcome to /r/Mac! We are reddit's community of Mac users, enthusiasts, and experts.

But, if you’ve got lots of money, buy an Apple. For a couple of years at least, you’ll have something sitting at home which you’ve been told, like the rest of the world is the best thing that money can buy and, it looks “cool”! I recently bought my first Apple computer, a Macbook Pro. As far as the OS and general use, I haven’t had the “never going back” experience that a lot of Apple users claim to have.
It is a great computer, but I can’t say that it’s significantly different from a Window’s computer. There are several minor differences, some of which I like and some I don’t, but you’re not diving into a whole new world. Contrary to what you might read, Macs are not invincible. They do lock up, and they will give you your fair share of hair pulling moments just like you get with a PC. Macs tend to have higher price tags too, so make sure you do your research before you buy into all of the hype. That said, I also made the switch to Apple exclusive Logic Pro 9 and I have to say that I am impressed there. 
Logic is a fantastic program. It made the whole switch worth it in my opinion. The purists amongst us will always say Mac, but in truth $ for $ PC’s are cheaper and much more upgradeable. A new mac-book air in the UK costs around £1000!
Yet you can build a liquid cooled monster PC for that. Windows 7 x64 is very stable thankfully.
I have owned a mac, and a many PC’s and I will always go to PC’s now. Of course you have to take your DAW in to account as well, I run Cubase 6.5 and have never had any crashes or lock-ups even before I upgraded to 6.5, this is on a custom built system too.
It is my belief that Mac is the better platform for music and video production. I have worked on both platforms, and both can have issues.
