I'm just using a Maschine Mikro w Maschine software rn, kinda sucks. I actually can't do much at all. I wish I could afford Ableton but I'm a broke soon-to-be college kid on PC. Thought's appreciated, though.
I'm on abletons beta, I may have an old version I can find was my point.
Lol I don't have as much not for Mac, but I think I should have links to the PC betas as well as the Mac. You just have to look into how it runs on your system/if thy make a compatible version, because I have no idea. No guarantees though I may not be able to find the email, lol. My buddy also runs a PC so I can see what he runs on his system. Also, you can get the Mac minis for like $500 these days depending on how college broke you are.
What are the specs on your pc? My mini runs a 3.2 quad core with 16gb ram, but specs don't always mean everything with computers, lol. I did the cheap monitor thing for a while, just upgraded a week ago at the demand of insom. Thanks to her, I now how have a monitor that does quite a bit more than I need it to, but is awesome and I can see what's on the screen from anywhere in the room now. Let me go see if what pc stuff I can find and I'll let you know if anything turns up. edit: also I guess they aren't putting the quad-cores in the minis anymore, and also only i5 not the i7 processor :(... leave it to apple to backtrack.
My partitioned hd is out of commission apparently, and my buddy's running FL and cubase on his PC so if you want either of those... I do have a massive sample library that'll swing both ways if you're interested...?
Yeah pm me your email address and I'll add you to a Dropbox.
