Ever since we launched MusicXPC in 2002, we have had a few imitators and pretenders offering similar offerings here and there. These new entrants sometimes pinch text and slogans from our website and approach our customers with promises of savings $100 here and $100 there. Sometimes, before you can even digest what's on their site they are gone. Beware of system masquerading as music-tweaked systems. While there are some very good music PC's in music studios, there are many more which truly are poorly specified and designed more for serious profit rather than serious production.

We are not a tuck-shop operation. We are serious. We are professionals. MusicXPC is solidly supported by Music Marketing Inc. and a vast network of musical instrument retailers. We are here to stay. With MusicXPC, your computer investment is sitting on a solid foundation and you will enjoy making musical masterpieces on it.

MusicXPC 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, works quietly and works perfectly for virtually all music applications, and it does this right out of the box. This is no accident, we designed MusicXPC to be just this – perfect for music production and able to keep running during a crucial session longer than you can.

Our users are media producers, songwriters, educators, hobbyist and even a few inmates at federal prisons. They rely on their MusicXPC computers to create their livelihoods, they expect it to work when they turn it on, they expect it to stand up to the CPU killing reverb plug-ins and virtual instruments and it delivers.  A misbehaving and underpowered computer can bring a session to a halt and kill creativity in mid flight.  The nerve center of your creative space should be solid as a rock.  Our role is to remove this stress.  You stop worrying about the computer and only worry about the music.

Most off-the-shelf computers are made to run office software, surf the internet, organize email and manage photos and MP3’s.  If you try to run Pro Tools of Nuendo on such a computer you may or may not get lucky.  If you want to run a recording studio with one of these computers it's like playing Russian Roulette.  However, DAW software today make serious demands like simultaneous recording and playback of dozens of high-definition audio tracks at low latencies, processing audio tracks with high quality plug-in; generate polyphonic recreations of virtual synthesizers, and that's just for starters. We engineered MusicXPC computers for these stresses.

Our hard drives are prepped for high-impact, all-night studio sessions.  They tame Cubase, Pro Tools and Sonar and anything else a musician may encounter in production.  We first did this for ourselves – yes, we need these computers for our own use as we are all involved in music production ourselves.  The success of MusicXPC lies in the fact that we are our customers.

Artists are not expected to be up on the latest increases in bus speeds, or L2 cache sizes, or the benefits of a 16 MB hard disk cache.  Practically speaking, off-the-shelf computers, built for regular everyday use, do not need the latest technology for mundane everyday tasks.  A word processor user functions the same on a a 16M cache 7,200 RPM drive as a 4M cache 5,400 RPM.  However, these advances greatly benefit producers streaming hundreds of piano samples from a drive or compositing vocals from dozens of 24|96 takes.

MusicXPC is constantly on top of the latest technologies. We seize on the advances that will pay dividends for music producers right now and incorporate them usually months or even years before these advances find their way into off-the-shelf boxes.  When you buy a MusicXPC, you know that all components have been optimized for the task at hand – digital music production.  And you don't pay for hype as we defer those technologies that only benefit the marketing department.  Don’t worry, just make your music.

We do not sell MusicXPC direct. We partner with music retailers to sell our computers to our customers. They not only can help you pick out 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 the 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. We back this up with free live telephone technical support that does not stop after 90 days like some of our competitors.

Our technicians know music software and hardware and can help you get started with your MusicXPC. Bottom line - choosing a computer to sit at 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 jam or to a final mix. MusicXPC means that you have a solid, stable, flexible, robust choice for your media computing needs.
