Which OS do you use to Make music

[Icky]

Windows 7. Mac just doesn't cut it for what I do.

[Dr_Dissonance]

Windows 7 64bit, with Cubase 6.5 64bit! 64bit is USEFUL!
I don't like Macs...because they're DIFFERENT!!!
Bonus points:
2.0GHz i7
8GB RAM
17" Display
(it's a laptop)

[Foxtrot89]

i like how no one's surprised by what i use xD

What, a game boy? It's not all that surprising or uncommon. Chip tunes are one of the larger little communities. Chip tunes aren't really for me, but you're probably the fifth person I've run into on the internet who was surprised that other people weren't surprised.

As I understand it, within the chip community, using other/phony methods of getting the chip sound is shunned.

Edit: also, I use windows 7. I've got ~9gb ram with an i7 quad core. I can't recall specifics without looking at it, but it's an alright setup. Probably building a new setup soon so me and my girlfriend can play multiplayer pc games.

It is?

[CommandSpry]

Haha, I actually use Windows 8 Release Preview (and before you ask, it's amazing, slightly better than Windows 7) on PC. It just...works. Using FL on that one (it's compatible with everything W7 is, and then some)

Here are my specs

AMD FX-8150 8 cores @ 3.6ghz
8GB DD3 RAM
23" LCD LED Backlit display

PC. I always hear about how great Macs are, but I'm consistently disappointed whenever I use one

Also,I use Mixcraft 5 and 6, and Audacity lawl

I love those processors! I used to do calculator programming and once made a Guitar Hero clone with it.

thats epic

It was quite interesting, theres were no songs; everything was randomized. I even implemented a basic star power feature. However, the whole thing got laggier and laggier the further you got in it.

I only love XP because it's better than the Newer windows OS, the only problem is that it's pretty slow and often explode when I try to make something hardcore like Gabber kicks and Neurofunk basses, other than that, it's great :3 lol

I've got a Commodore 64 that still works. . .
It runs on those huge old floppy discs and uses them as RAM.

[Blitz-13]

I would very much like to use a Mac or even Alienware (the latter had always been good to me before I had to sell it), but I use a PC with FL Studio 10. Personally, FL Studio seems to be the easiest to use. Ableton was a little bit confusing for me, Cubase had me thinking "where's this and that?" and LMMS was utter chaos to figure out. My little "Recording Studio" I have here should suffice until I buy my own computer... again....

[prettiestPony]

I use Windows 7 64-bit (except when on my laptop, which is 32-bit), and I use REAPER and Renoise. Why? Because they're awesome. I've never been able to get into Cubase or SONAR (even though I own a copy of an older version of SONAR), and while FL Studio, Ableton, and Reason are all great, they don't do things quite how I want them to.

I like to pretend that someday I'll buy Magix Samplitude, but that'll probably never happen, and I'll probably be too stuck in my ways at that point to want to change DAWs anyway.

OH GOD WHY, you should change to Windows 7, I promise it's better. Skipping Vista is fine and understandable, but Windows 7 actually works properly. (For me, at least.)

It was quite interesting, theres were no songs; everything was randomized. I even implemented a basic star power feature. However, the whole thing got laggier and laggier the further you got in it.

Did you do that in the "calculator language" or did you use assembly? I seem to remember that more complex programs (games) were virtually impossible to make without resorting to assembly, at least on things like the TI-83, perhaps because the uncompiled program source took up way too much space and ran too slow.

Also, off topic, hey! You use trackers! We should collab. :3 I mess around with MilkyTracker once in a while--perhaps a collaboration would be motivation for both of us to learn how to use it better. Or I'd be up for OpenMPT; I think I'm at about the same level of familiarity with both of them.

Mac... wait windows.... wait, a mac with windows running ontop which I use FL studio on... so in the end I guess windows? but I also use garageband. :3

I used TI-Basic, which is calculator language. Thats why it was so slloooowww!

And I don't do collabs, mostly becase I'm selfish and prefer to have complete control over everything. LOL
