hello. the year is 2012. i need to get a computer so i can buy and run protools. It would be cool if it was a good enough computer that i could also run final cut pro and also protools on the same computer, one day. What computer should i get (pc not mac) that is the best mix of cheapest and best computer, and i can upgrade later. what are the specs i am going to be looking for? i will not run porn on this computer, promise.

Thanks.

FCP is Mac only.

Hi,

Are you planning on buying the Pro Tools HDX rig? Or just use the less expensive ProTools with a non avid interface?

Also, as stated before, Final Cut Prois Mac only.

Cheers

Some Hackintoshers have got FCP running on various hardware. Such as this guy. Check on http://hackintosh.com/ for more info. (Just remember that whilst making a Hackintosh is fairly straight-forward these days, getting FCP running on it stable might be more of a challenge.)

Do you wanna be a computer engineer? Or do you wanna make music and movies?
