another comment. NOT TRUE!!! mac is better than a pc when Pro tools is involved... well if you want to get swallowed up by digidesign mouth go right at it. again i'm doing 72 stereo tracks of audio with dx and vst plugins without External DSP hardware. no bulshit. i use mac on a dalily basis also with programs like MAX and other sound processing languages and it has its advantages but it is not better at digital audio than a pc.
