All you have is now
I built my first computer in 1995 and have built many since. I moved solely to "all in ones" "iMacs" and laptops for convenience and form factor at least 10 years ago. Was just having a discussion with my old guitar player yesterday about using Reaper with Windows and Mac. And as he was explaining how he can't get his U-Phoria audio to work on his latest PC and all the hoops he had gone through...not real techy but enough to get himself through things usually, I was reminded of the torture of getting through setting up audio in windows and ASIO drivers and drivers for all the hardware needing to be updated and then drivers that are incompatible or corrupt...blah blah blah.. But with Apple bringing in new compatible interfaces has been pretty simple. It took me many years to embrace Apple and the quirks and differences in how one goes about getting to things and installing things. It still bugs or confuses me sometimes..I have to say for Audio recording the iMac is a pretty solid and easy unit to use. Of course there is always the limitations of what will run on Mac but since early on the big time professional studios have been more Mac than PC so if they can get by with it I guess I sure can...Protools pfffft!
