most people who are Pros in the industry I.E. Chart toppers, hit songs, and all that are mostly all on Mac. Everytime I search up "who produced this song" or "who mixed this song" and I find them it's ALWAYS on a mac. Seems like most bedroom music producers are on windows though... maybe that's why they are not making it in the industry? Is Mac the secert to making hits? Anybody switch from windows to mac here did you like it betters? lol

Most professional musicians use neither ... they play an instrument. Do you?

Most professional singers use neither ... they use their voice. Do you?

That's not the tools that make a Pro, it's proficiency and crafmanship. :roll:

As fmr said here, it's not a question of whether you use Windows, Mac, or even TempleOS, but a question of practice. One of my friends (who is a talented artist) uses his MacBook for polishing his art and adding digital effects to it, but he does the majority of his artwork by using only paper and marker pens. I think there is often this obsession among musicians involving the idea that you must get more sounds and more tools, because the more you got the better your music ... but that's not really how it works. You gotta learn to use what you got. Besides, your listeners don't know or care if you use a Mac or Windows; they are there for your music and how it sounds like.

elton john used to be all over the charts.

it's not all positive stories.

Feels like there's an implication that HREQ is on Mac and doesn't understand why they haven't made any real money?
Maybe too much time on forums!
