Is he a normal person who uses windows pc or a throwed off retard that
uses mac? for some reason he is weird so he probably a mac guy?
what do you think?

from everything I've heard, he is a mac head. at least he was in the past.

If he records things on his laptop or anything like that, Im pretty sure he would use a mac, as they are the best for that sorta thing

He's tapping away at a Mac at the end of the Graffiti Bridge movie.
Opening and closing "windows" like a pro...

That said; once you go Mac, there's no going back!

Mac obviously. All us creative types prefer the apple.

In mac land!

I think its more than likely that P used a windows based PC.

If his own music club didn't cater for Mac users, I doubt very much the boss man was one!

Plus, if he was you use it for recording, all the best professional music studio software is PC based.

not true

i did a soundengineering course and they had Pro Tools running on a Mac

You can run anything on a mac. Its a good bit of kit. But most studios would want to run any software in their native format to speed up the proceessor times. Unless they are using "garage", I doubt they are running macs!

they had Macs , the fastest ones available they said

Dewrede said:

I know a local studio that use macs too. I just think they will be in the minority.

Software like Logic Pro is OK, but I think you'll see many top 10 hits made on it.

leave macs alone! hehe

really? i'm a mac head too, one more reason i love prince.

SquirrelMeat said:

ok

I think it's just a matter of preference

I prefer Windows

macs hold music programs/photoshop/illustrator/any computer graphics or photo editing stuff better. almost all art and design schools require them and use them.

I heard that too
Might have been true at one point
But nowadays i don't think that's still the case

I work in the creative department of a multi-billion dollar clothing company. Our entire company works on PCs -- except for the creative department, which works on Macs. Every company I've ever interviewed with for a similar job has a Mac-based creative department.

I would be very surprised if, for example, the 3121 site was created on a PC.

ok

Nearly 100% of all recording studios running ProTools R using Macs.

God that is such bullshit...

I remember it was either the first or second Celebration at Paisley Park and there were MACs set up for all of us to listen to music or whatever. This was back in '00 or '01

my many years of working as a songwriter/producer has led me to believe that the best music software available is for the mac

SquirrelMeat said:

MOst of the best recording gear runs best on macs

p.s. im on a pc btw haha so dont think im sucking up for macs

I use protools on mac, it acts buggy on the PC.

I edit video on a mac in final cut pro

I use after effects on either computer, but a PC can render a bit faster.

for some reason in my memory, Prince was on a PC in Grafilthy Bridge. I forgot what was in the studio at the celebration... but it was Protools.

all my musician friends rock macs..but i have sold more records on my trusy PCs...its all about your talent ! any and all these operating systems are light years away from even the highest quality studio 20 years ago...*that doesn't mean they sound better..It means all the otions you had before are now available on any average computer system + a zillion things you could never have done in the 80's.

Go to the gallery on Paisly Parks site and you will see each studio is kitted out with a mac.
Who's going to say Prince dos'nt use a mac now!

Thats Studio D Apple G4 plainly in view:

and Studio B, Apple G4 obscured by the cahir bat can be seen.

The other studio's run both Logic and Pro Tools. You cant see the towers in the photo's, but I'd be awful damn sure that they are there.

now this seems that the evidence is becoming overwealming. Most of the creative people I know in my industry (entertainment) are mac people. Wendy and Lisa give presentations at a Mac store in Los Angeles.

sounds like this subject is locked.

Those are Macs, all right!
