iMac or Custom Built Pc for Music Production

1017 Views 38 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  BLaQ
I'm looking to invest in upgrading my equipment for my music production. I've been using a Laptop and Fl studio for almost 3 years now. I'm wondering what would be a better investment. An iMac or a custom built Pc put together by myself? I'm willing to learn Logic if I do get an iMac. I'm leaning towards an iMac but if I do custom build a pc, what would be some good tips or input on what the best type of hardware I would need? Thanks

It really comes down to what software you wanna use :dno: that being said the Custom Built PC will give you more power for your money.

Thats true. I have time to decide. Its a hard decision tho hahaha. I own a macbook pro and I love it! Which is why i'm thinking about an iMac. But a custom build came to mind out of no where haha

No doubt about that haha. I love my macbook, don't use it for producing tho. I want a desktop computer now that I have the room for it and I'm gonna go the mac route and learn to use logic so I can expand and learn more things
