The fork in the road: PC or Mac
New to home recording & studio set up, beating my brains on which way to go. I've already 'jumped' on a TASCOM US-1200, MXL mic, & Alesis M1Active 320USB Speakers. Now, what to do: I've got an old Athlon 64 dual core, XP OS'ed PC, and numerous hard drives. To refurbish & update would run a little over $200.00 (Windows 7 pro (64 bit), 22" monitor, & 1TB HDD). After checking things out I could get a decent iMac all-in-one for about the same price.
I already have Studio One and the US-1200 came with SONAR LE & Ableton Live 9 and have heard repeatedly "one DAW is as good as another".
I'm just beating my brains to decide which system to set up. I've worked with Windows PC's since the beginning of tech but, I haven't touched a Mac since shortly after their creation.
Oh, by the way, my base input is a dual keyboard setup with an older Wurlitzer on standby.
Any helpful suggestions will be deeply appreciated.
