The MusicXPC computer has become one of the most trusted brands on the musical instruments market in just a few short years. The main reason for this is customer satisfaction. This computer works and works perfectly for 99% of music applications. Human nature combined with a small community equals a whirlwind of word-of-mouth. Legions of MusicXPC users telling the truth - their computers rock. Our users are media producers, songwriters, educators, hobbyist and even a few inmates at Federal prisons. The MusicXPC works, it works out of the box and it works flawlessly. Our mantra is to remove all the stress that can result from a misbehaving or underpowered computer. You worry about the music and we'll do the rest.

With the advent of the new Intel platform featuring the Core 2 Duo and front-side-bus speeds surpassing 1 Gigahertz, we are introducing a new generation of computers that really fulfill the promise of the software tools that promised the entire recording studio in the box. All the instruments, the effects, the recording, the missing, the mastering - inside the box. It has been a dream since the beginning of the MIDI revolution of the 1990s, and now the MusicXPC computers listed above are destined to fulfill these dreams.

The Professional S3 is the king of all music computers for the music producer or studio that wants a system that is equipped for any situation. A computer that breaks the Terabyte barrier with 1.1 TeraByte of Hard Disk storage as standard. Best of all, you can add even more drives to the S3 as there are empty drive bays inside ready to accept more drives. This is why we can call our computers professional. They start in loaded form but they still have room to grow in terms of power.

The Professional S3 is also even quieter than our previous generations. We have refined our components and have benefited from march of technology. Special fans that run slower yet cool more. New processors that do more but don't run as hot. New heat-pipe advances which transmit more heat in the same dead silence. Yes, this generation of MusicXPC is the best ever.

The power of the M4 is stunning. When you compare the number of audio tracks and simultaneous plug-ins that you can run that we have step up onto a new plateau of performance. The M4 will seriously out perform many desktops that were considered state-of-the-art just 2-3 years ago. It is really weird seeing a laptop blow away a humongous desktop, but the M4 does just that.

The software is also moving to take advantage of these new developments as we are seeing more and more upgrades which take advantage of the dual-core processors. We are already working with the next generation of Windows operating systems which hold even more promise.

We are doing this to save people like us - musicians, producers and songwriters - the headaches of a under performing computer. The computers that cause you to pull your hair by crashing at the worst times. The computers that can keep up to your creative decisions - be it to run 50 plug-ins or to record at 24-bit 192kHz fidelity. We are doing this to make musicians more productive and their work flow more efficient. And we have accomplished this goal in our models.

We do not sell MusicXPC direct. We use our music retail partners to sell our computers. They not only can help you pickout the right software and hardware, they can also help you get things rolling with first line support. Some of our best dealers are household names in teh music industry - Sam Ash Music, Sweetwater, Musician's Friend, Long & McQuade, Archambault, SoundTree and others. Visit one of these retailers to see one of our models in action.

Bottom line - choosing a computer to sit as the nerve center of your creative workspace is no longer a hit and miss proposition. As musicians ourselves, we all know the lost productivity that a poor computer can bring to a session, to a writing spell or to a mix. The existence of MusicXPC means that you have a solid, stable, flexible, robust choice for your media computing needs.
