JBVoice Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Greetings! Thought I would post this to get some feedback on an issue. I recently bought a Mac with OS10 on it. It is amazing for audio productions! I recently gave up on windows vista due to the sound card bugs. Anyone else have issues with Vista? I downgraded to windows XP (more like upgraded). I use windows xp for my broadcasting computer and my Mac for editing audio. What do you guys use? My main computer set up is: Broadcasting PC: 1 TB HD, 4 GB Ram,Quad Processor and i forgot the graphics card =o Editing PC(Invested ALL my savings into...it paid off!): I dont know what all this means but here is ALL the specs. The total cost was around $9,320: 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 32GB (8x4GB) 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB One 16x SuperDrive Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) + User's Guide Accessory kit Two HD Cinema 30' Flat panel Moniters with wall mounts The MAC is my favorite system of all!!!!!! What do you guys think? Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries. The rest have big screen TVs. - Jim Rohn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THREETEN RADIO Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Wow! Puts my little Dell optiplex to shame! I use XP pro and will do for as long as possible avoiding Vista also. If I could obtain a decent MAC I would as they are fantastic for audio work. Great set up you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBVoice Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yea, Vista has way too many bugs. I almost forgot, I actually use a Dell for my phone calls Here is the set up on that...Probably something similar to what you have: Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 512mb Ram 60 GB HD 2.4GHZ Processor VOIP Phone Lines: Magic Jack (main) and Skype Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.

kwdservices Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 And I thought I had a lot of hard drive space! May I ask what you do with 4TB of space? And wow, $9k. I could do some major redecorating here in the office with that money LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwdservices Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Oh, and we use XP Pro for everything except programing (broadcasting, administrative work, etc). Good old CentOS and Ubuntu do the trick for programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBVoice Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Well, obviously I don't use all that space YET. I record local bands and save all their work into the system. I am using 1.5 TB's of the space just with music, voice overs etc. But, honestly...I wont be using all that space any time soon =p Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.

Exozito Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 XP and Mac OS X= Two good operating systems. Vista stinks for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
