Robotspeak are Apple "Authorized ProAudio Resellers". This means that we specialize in selling and supporting new Apple CPUs and related audio software [Logic, etc].
Although many Windows machines are well suited for Audio recording, in our experience there are a few important reasons to consider the Mac first.
1. Apple Harware design is "universal". When installing software and hardware on a Windows machine, variations in CPU design [AMD / Intel], USB controllers, audio and video integration can cause conflict or incompatibilities. Because Apple hardeware is the same from machine to machine, we generally experience smoother installations and LESS TROUBLESHOOTING!!! ;)
2. Apple Core Audio. Musicians have long recognized the Mac as a superior platform for audio. Historically, third-party developers augmented the native capabilities of Macintosh with a wide variety of hardware, software and system add-ons, making it possible to use the Macintosh as a virtual recording studio. Mac OS X Core Audio integrates a range of audio functionality directly into the operating system, the result is better performance and ease of use in your virtual studio. For example, the most fundamental measure of audio performance is throughput latency — the time it takes for audio to enter your Mac, travel through the system to your application and then pass back out to your monitoring system. Core Audio allows multiple applications to share the same device, while maintaining ultra-low latency performance. Because this performance is built directly into Mac OS X, you ultra-low latency out of the box on any Apple system.
3. Apple Core MIDI and the Audio/MIDI setup
Mac OS X integrates MIDI directly into the operating system for increased stability and performance. Audio MIDI Setup allows you to easily manage your MIDI needs and define a system-wide MIDI configuration that is available to all of your applications. Mac OS X also includes a MIDI Network driver, allowing you to send and receive MIDI over a network connection.
Because shipping time to
robotspeak on most apple products takes only 1 - 2 days, we have opted to custom order machines for our customers rather than stock them. This way we can help
you choose the machine best suited for your studio, fitted with the proper drive, RAM and peripherals. Our prices match other Apple dealers and we can save you some money
on a mac when it is part of a bundle.
