I know, this topic is dangerous within linux-communities.
Please don't hate me too much
I'm a confident linux (former windows) user for more than 10 years. Until I started with recording/audio production I was happy with linux.
But since I started, I'm getting bugged of linux. It took me hours, days and even moths reading tutorials and watching youtube-videos just to get a sound out of my audio-interface, to get familiar with ardour, learning how to install audio-plugins and all that stuff that is necessary. I'm still not able to do what I want with my home studio. That's annoying.
These days I took a friends macbook, installed garageband, plugged my audio interface and a guitar in and there was sound. Wow! It took 5 minutes without reading or watching any tutorials.
10 mins later I was familiar with the software and being able to record a song with the virtual drummer and a good guitar sound.
It felt like another world. After 30 mins I could do everything I want. With linux I'm still not, even I'm trying for months.
No I can understand why so many professional an non-professional musicians use macbooks. It's not easy for me to say, but apple does a great job in this field.
What do you think about?
Have you ever tried audio-stuff on a mac?
Are you happy with your linux-audio-system?
