My studio was all Mac oriented until the fall of '98.

That is when I "bit the bullet" and picked up the parts to build a Windows machine.

I still run both Macintosh AND Windows platforms, together, all talking to each other on the same network.

This allows me to pick the tool that does the job better or easier or maybe one has a software that the other doesn't have available, etc.

PCs are so doggone cheap these days, you may just consider that option, pick up one. Even those little "notebook" smaller laptops with the Atom processors for under $300 mark and sometimes under $200 have been getting great reports about how well they run BiaB for Windows with the USB drives being shipped now.

But I like the desktop computer for that, because I can do things like use S/PDIF between Mac and PC soundcards for transfer sometimes. You don't really need that, though. I use Audaciy to change .wav files to AIFF and back as needed when working cross-platform.

But whaddo I know. There's still a fully working Atari in this studio, too. And just for running one of the greatest and best MIDI programs of all time, Bars 'n Pipes. Still comes in handy from time to time and does things to MIDI files that no other program I know of can do. Plus easy to write custom scripting for doing batches.
