Looking for the best Mac music-production software? We compare the best alternatives to Apple's free music-making app GarageBand. Multi-track recording for live audio or MIDI, layering takes. This weeks featured Mac setup is the awesome home recording studio of Steve Steele, a professional film composer, musician, and band leader, with some very beefy Apple gear and loads of great music equipment. Mac vs PC for music production Whether you choose a Mac or PC for music production is largely down to the platform you prefer and who you’re collaborating with.

The MacBook Pro 13″ should be fine for you. You might find the screen a little cramped, so you might want an external monitor when you’re working on complex projects (lots of tracks, virtual instruments and effects). You can also consider the MacBook Air 13″. It’s smaller, thinner and lighter than the MacBook Pro, if you’re happy to plug in an external DVD drive when you need it, and you don’t need a Firewire port. It also has fast flash storage, instead of a hard disk – it’ll probably be big enough for you unless you have lots & lots of music, sample & instrument libraries, and projects. I’d reread the article, as there’s details to consider. Like some people are saying the MacBook Air fan comes on too easily.

Avery 5260 template for pages. If you are in doubt about which software is most suitable we recommend you just download and try them. You don't have to purchase to download and it only takes seconds to download and install each program. We offer Free for Home Use versions of some NCH programs.

But what does the clock speed does here? I mean let’s say for example a quad core can handle 20 tracks (I know it can handle more, just for the example) but if the clock speed per core is 1.2 Ghz it means that when you hit play your project won’t play smoothly or just more time loading each vst you drag to the project or what? So I guess what I want to know is what advantage you get with more cores, or more clock speed or more cache (haven’t found anything about cache in the Internet, but an intel processor that has the same things except 2 extra MB of cache costs 150 extra dollars, so I supposed it means something) I won’t record anything, I pretend to make house music in a professional level (lots of effects and synths) I hope you can help me Thanks a lot. Geronimo, I haven’t looked at music benchmark comparing processors in years. For many people, it’s become irrelevant – nearly all modern computers have plenty of power for music production. Songily for win 10. Roughly, every core you have is a worker, and the clock speed is how fast the workers work.

You can find a version that is backwards compatible with macs running much older versions of OS X. It has a steeper learning curve than QuickTime’s audio recording feature, but it is far more powerful and better suited for longer recordings where editing is needed. Refer to Audacity’s for an explanation of it’s advanced features. While I was trying out loads of different demo versions of software to record sound from Safari, one of them installed a plugin called Greatdy System Audio which now appears in the drop down audio source menu in Quicktime Player. 1st option is: Built-in Input: Line In 2nd option is: Built-in Microphone: Internal microphone 3rd (new option) is: Greatdy System Audio If I use this extra option I can record anything on the internet (that isn’t copyrighted of course.) This isn’t where I got it from but I guess this should work: If this doesn’t work I can post all the different demos that I tried. Audacity is marvelous at one level; a complete pain and irritation at another.
