In my experience macs handle music programs better.
Depends on the program, like would you use Cubase on a Mac vs a PC?

PC is probably better spec wise for the price but I haven't used windows since XP and I'll most likely never go back, but the days of Mac being the end all for music production is probably over
I can't give a PC vs mac comparison since I haven't used PC in ages but to me I would never go back. I think a lot of people can't afford some of the higher priced macs so they make excuses to justify why they don't have one. I'm not saying PC's aren't good and price to spec wise are "faster". But the car with more horsepower doesn't always win the race. It's about handling too.
In my experience macs handle music programs better. Also if you do some research on macs, you can get a Mac mini for under 800 that will be more than powerful enough for most people on this site. You have to do your research fully, not everybody needs a Ferrari if you're just driving to work. And if you really are doing very big projects all the time and need the top of the line, let's face it your computer would only be a fraction of your studio cost, your monitor chain mic chain and what not are gonna run you more than a Mac Pro anyway, so odds are you won't be penny pinching anyway. But for most people making beats and recording their own stuff even the super powerful PC's are overkill.
If you do go the PC route tho I would definitely recommend building one yourself because the ones you get out the store are also packed full of ish you don't need, and you're paying for that stuff too.
Where can I get a controller with a built in interface?? Sounds expensive but convenient af

i've never used cubase so i can't speak on it.
Have you used macs for music before? Just curious. I never swore off windows, mac just works for me. I'm sure those computers are great, and one day down the line I might switch who knows. I thought I was gonna use reason forever, but now I haven't touched it in 2 years. I just don't fix what ain't broke, and nothing's broken right now. I'm not big on upgrading until I feel I absolute need to. And even then me switching from reason to maschine was purely a workflow decision. I'm still on pro tools 9 lol, what's it at now 11? Some people need the latest and greatest, I just need something that will record samples and sequence drums. I'm a simple person
