#Asio for mac for mac#

If you want a computer that will run a DAW flawlessly out of the box, you should buy either a Mac or one of the excellent PCs that are built and tuned specifically for DAW work (like ADK systems.) If you just go to Best Buy and buy a PC (or build one yourself), it can take a bit of work to fine-tune it for maximum performance, both from the standpoint of Windows, which is not built with real-time processes as a high priority, or with hardware (Macs have the advantage of very limited hardware that needs to be supported, which makes figuring out hardware conflicts or poor drivers less likely on a Mac.) Much of the music production world has used Macs since the beginning, so there is also the question of cross-compatibility and loyalty when anyone comments on this question.ДЇor myself, I'm running Sonar happily on a PC and Pro Tools happily on a Mac.

So I would take a careful look at how well your soundcard's manufacturer appears to be doing at creating good drivers for either category.ДЄs for Mac vs PC in general, I've used both. Pro Tools also runs a bit more efficiently (and is generally more stable) on a Mac, but again, that comes down to the way Avid/Digidesign implemented it. On the PC, the ASIO drivers absolutely suck, and it has issues even driving other DAWs consistently, let alone non-DAW programs like iTunes or Media Player. It sounds great, is easy to configure, etc. Old releases compatible with Mac OS 10.9 'Mavericks' and Mac OS 10.10 'Yosemite' are available in old foobar2000 versions archive. Denon DJ is part of an elite family of hardware and software companies known as inMusic Brands. I have an old Digi 002 Rack, for instance, that works great driving non Pro Tools programs on the Mac. However, audio device vendors may provide Mac's ASIO drivers for some devices. So, you no need special drivers to works with a DAC. Latest MacOS versions use their builtin drivers (Core Audio) instead ASIO. I can't comment at a deep technical level, but I can say that it's not just about superior devices, but about implementation by the soundcard's manufacturer and the DAW you're using. But, as rule, DAC-vendor driver is more recommended.
