So I have 1000$ to spend on a computer, but this computer will be used for music production. So what kind of computer should I invest in that isn't shit
>considering alienware
So I have 1000$ to spend on a computer, but this computer will be used for music production...
Macs are gay as fuck and overpriced as shit, but for music/video they are pretty good.
...
macs are more than gay, like gaytarded. and you won't even get a pro audio sound card for $1000 so don't expect too much.
You'd be better off spending most of that on the audio gear, not a comp OP
Music production? Any shit pc will do, just don't use bloated software and be easy with plugins. Buy a decent sound card with a line input, a good mic and a preamp. One input is enough unless you have to record drums but then think on the lines of 10k. Shame a thousand won't be enough even for just the monitors. Tl:dr buy a hooker some coke it'll be more fun.
Mac all the way.
I make music and windows was complete shit compared to mac. Look into the new Macbook Pro. It's a beast.
Don't fall for all the anti apple propaganda. They really are a good computer. And if you break it out in public, it reminds me of weed, people want to talk for some reason.
>i dont play vidya so i can't tell you from a gamer point of view. but i do make music.
start with garage band then save your money and BUY FL Studio.
Don't torrent it. You wont get all the good updates. BUY IT. Don't be a fucking Jew. BUY THE PRODUCT.
Holy shit. A walking meme.
OP. Literally everything this guy said do the complete opposite.
Don't listen to this retard. He's trying to fuck you, OP.
If you buy FL Studio you get all the updates and some pretty cool freebies. If you get it illegally, not only do you risk getting caught, but you have to keep it offline. You don't get updates or freebies unless you keep torrenting more and more updates and it just becomes a huge hastle. Believe me, I did it for maybe 3 months before I had enough of all the bullshit and being behind.
Macs are a great computer. They really are. It's just a meme here to shit on them.
Don't let the internet make your choices in your daily life, especially a site like Sup Forums, especially fucking Sup Forums or you're going to be very unhappy with your choices. If Sup Forums made good choices, the anons here wouldn't spend they life on here, not leaving mommys basement unless they got enough good boy points to go see the new star wars movies and buy the latest MLP action figures.
MacBooks are only good for being used as a dildo
Just make your own pc, much more efficient and cost effective
...
apple.com, look for the "refurbished" tag at the very bottom of the page. IMHO Apple refurbished hardware is the way to go.
$300 PC, build it yourself to save cash, rest on sound card
>And if you break it out in public, it reminds me of weed, people want to talk for some reason.

Macs are overpriced and they can't do anything better than a Windows PC. Hipsters just claim Macs are better to justify wasting thousands of dollars.
Alienware is just over priced
Laptops get beat up and usually die after a year or two.
Build your own PC; it's as easy as putting together Legos. Anything else is a waste of money.
>buys the cheapest, shittiest Acer money can buy
>spends remaining $850.00 on hookers and drugs
>Look into the new Macbook Pro
>and BUY FL Studio
you can literally run fl studio fine on a 700mhz pentium 2 with 256mb ram
kek my friend has a mac that the battery has decided to die on and stop charging fully. quoted $400 to replace it. mac all the way.
he just said alienware, that is way more expensive than a mac
Build your own, dude. Fuck anything Apple. You can build something more powerful for less, and you'll be able to game on it if you ever feel the need to.
Use pcpartpicker.com and start with either the processor or motherboard. Everything else will pretty much fall into place after that due to compatibility.

Also get cocos Reaper for your DAW - free and outstrips big name DAWS. Do not get a Mac for music - total waste of money. I have mac and pc so I'm not just hating on macs. Good sound card. Good monitors. Use cracked software until you decide you're the real deal AND you have talent. Dick head above saying you'll get caught and to buy fucking fruity loops. dude fruity loops is a toy.
