what I was surprised to find is that I get that same tactile feeling using a touchscreen. I am a big proponent of hardware - I love the tactile feel of knobs. Even using Ableton’s UI I can get basic controls via touchscreen as well.
#HOW TO SWITCH FROM MAC TO PC ON MACBOOK PRO PRO#
It’s great to have my monitor on a vesa mount and be able to use the touchable pro app to trigger clips and mix and adjust send levels on the fly when jamming. Another surprising benefit (for me) is windows touch screen support. but It happens maybe 10% of the time I am pretty good a saving consistently so it hasn’t been a big issue. I definitely get more of the odd ‘not responding’ errors and glitches on PC vs Mac but it only really happens if I let me computer sleep mid project. Overall, I agree that once you are in your respective program there isn’t much difference in use. I was able to build a beast of a PC with 32 gigs of ram for half of what a comparative Mac mini would have cost. I’m sticking with PC due to economics, easy upgradability and touchscreen support.Īfter being a Mac user for most of my life I too started to think about moving to PC from an economics standpoint. TL DR: for me Mac has the slight edge in stability so that may be a consideration if your running Ableton during a live set.
