I've heard that Macs are ideal for audiovisual production
Not anymore they discontinued the Mac Pro which had PCI-E slots.
>>108984852I've heard such things as well. Frankly, I find them hard to believe. Maybe doing some particular task on Windows might be more convoluted, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing all that magical about Macs.
that was ages ago when Adobe products still ran the best on Macs

>>108984871You'd use a USB donge, although it's not like there are enough USB ports for that...Also I don't quite understand why would you want to have your device on your lap all the time. Or why would you have such a tiny screen when you have in on the table, right where your monitor is supposed to be, if you're doing any serious work.Why this product exists again?

>>108984944Mac is a desktop variantMacbook is the laptopHope it helps in your next thread crying about applel
>>108985319That's not true, "Mac" is a generic name for anything that runs macOS. You can see it on Apple's website even, where the "Mac" category has both desktops and laptops, as well as on the "Help me choose" page, which has a subtitle of "Answer a few questions to find the best Mac for you" and the page can suggest both a desktop and a laptop Mac. Even in the Apple's MacBook Neo ad the announcer says "Amazing all-new Mac" in reference to the MacBook Neo.
macOS not even once
honestly i have less than zero respect for people who use DAWs
>>108985945what about people who programmed their own daw software to make their music?
>>108984881Yesterday I was copying files on a brand new SD card and Explorer just decided it didn't like the task, so it started lagging until it crashed. Nothing else was running.The "it just works" meme simply implies that macos, while not "magical", is on average way less likely to shit the bed than Windows.And that's taking all the recent years of crap updates on both fronts into account. That's also why nearly every musician and live performer that can (and that's dictated by software exclusivity) still uses a mac for on-stage shit despite macs having no library advantage whatsoever over the alternatives.
>>108985945are you calibrating tape machines on the regular or what?
>>108984852It is, for audio production anyway, superior to windows. This is just because microsoft refuses to fix their fucked up audio codecs.
>>108984852you heard wrong, they are actually ideal for everything
>>108985945>honestly i have less than zero respect for people who use DAWsAs opposed to what?
>>108984852As someone who's used both, at times within the same session working on the same project. There's no difference. I think this idea comes from mostly tech illiterate film students/video editors who like the "just werks" nature of MacOS. I found that software like ProTools would break itself and have more problems more often on Mac than windows.
>>108984852Is that what the gay dude at Starbucks who "works on his screenplay every day" told you?
>>108984852>I've heard that Macs are ideal for audiovisual productionJust a fu***ng machine. Gearfagging is ze dumbest of all primitive promotion.
>>108984852Yup. If you try to edit a video on windows it creates mustard gas.
>>108989384The last time I used Pro Tools a couple of years ago. While the Mac version had a floating multi-window interface that you could easily use with a multiple monitor setup, the Windows version on the other hand used an MDI UI that basically had the windows as sub-windows contained within a single parent window and you couldn't detach the sub-windows from the parent windows. The only way to effectively use the Windows version on multiple displays was to stretch the parent window across all the displays you used, which was a pain in the neck. I really hope it still isn't that way.
>>108989384very truealso macos is the only thing that you can have color management pipeline that isn't something janky at the absolute best
>>108984852And software development
>>108984852Honestly, I do like that you can get a Mac with a lot of unified memory that can act as high-bandwidth VRAM. For example, having a Mac Studio with 128GB/256GB/512GB RAM must be wild. Nvidia's highest-end workstation GPU (RTX PRO 6000) only has 96GB VRAM and you can get a whole Mac Studio system with 256GB unified memory for less than the price of that single GPU for which you'd still have to buy the rest of the PC.
>>108984852Nothing is ideal for audiovisual production, everything crash regardless of your machine, and if you want to go super pro, you need to literally make a super computer.
Bring me the iMac Pro
