[comp.music] ATARI, MAC or PC?

peters@mips2.cr.bull.com (Dan Peters) (07/17/90)

A Question for Computer music applications (eg. sequencing, sampling, disk
recording):

   I need feedback from musicians who use these computers with their music
for determining the pros and cons (price/performance) of one computer over
another for (1) sample editing, (2) sequencing (I suppose any would do this
nicely) (3) direct to hard-disk recording.  I believe Mac is the choice of
Pros (but the most expensive); are the ATARIs most cost effective?  where
would you buy one (in New England)?  What do you use? WHY?  Any information
on reliability, software (shareware) avaiability would be a great help.
Thanks in advanced.

Well,  if you buy an Atari ST, and PC Ditio II and the Enhancement
Software for the Ditio II,  you can run both St and PC midi ware no
problem...   (the Enhancement SW even allows EGA mode!)  I doubt the Mac
midi software will ever work on a ST tho,  So I suppose it just depends
what you want to spend...  (Mac is a little better)
