Macintosh and audio live performance 3949
Well, you need as many parbreastions as operating systems, and preferably a fat32 parbreastion for data accessible from both windows and linux (I use it for...
It is for me. I've DJ'd using my iBook with iTunes and a PC running win2k. I don't do this for a living, and in the 3 weddings I've DJ'd for, I managed to have a program lock up on the PC (but thankfully kept playing the tune) and I've never had so much as a whimper of an issue with the iBook and iTunes. And my iBook is friggin 5 years old.
You can take this as balanced advice because I'm far from a Mac zealot, and use PC's for most of my real job work.
Here is some Perl. The first is using the Audio::DSP module to initialize and it will generate audio mathematically. The second...
Possibly if you restrict your needs to digital audio playback. I restrict that because audio playback is pretty mature and nearly everyone is doing it. Rich multimedia creation software under Linux though--there isn't a huge audience there, so the experience base of monkeys banging on keyboards finding all bugs in available software just isn't there on Linux, while media creators are doing an awful lot of that on Macs (and PC's too).
The achilles heel of the PC for stability is typically Windows and its apps, and its device drivers. You're likely to have a more stable experience comparing *nix to *nix, so a PC running Linux is likely to be more comparable to the stability of a Mac (which is BSD UNIX under the covers).
The other issue worth mentioning here is that stability is easier to attain on a Mac because there is far less hardware for anyone to worry about, and device drivers aren't the headache they are in the PC world. This is one benefit of having fewer 3rd party suppliers (although it comes at the cost of things being a little more expensive).
