I just bought the 13 inch macbook pro with the 2.53 ghz processor and it runs serato so smoothly compared to my dell vostro that Ive been having problems with, my question is to all the mac users on here, what programs should I be getting for my mac? I have no clue

thanks

What do you want to do with your mac?

audacity, caffine, mixed in key

ableton

Audacity is a recording program, it'll also allow you to change song file types too and its free.

Search for perian, its a codec program so youll be able to watch/listen to files like wmv etc.

Stuffit allows you to open zip/rar files.

They're all free.

nice, thanks guys i already have ableton, cant wait for the bridge to drop, I prob be using my mac for DJing through serato and remixing with ableton

1. Caffeine
2. Audacity
3. Logic
4. Stuffit
5. VLC

whats caffeine?

Caffeine is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menu bar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep,
