Hello!
I am buying my second mac after in 11 years, and want to make electronic music with 6 to 16 tracks. I want to produce music, so where do I start. Is it useless to buy a mac mini ? Or can i still make music on that, as long as I do not use much samples. I plan to have only the Grand 2 plus recording real synthesizers with a firewire card. I plan a external firedisk with a hub also. So... how far will a mac mini bring me. I am thinking of Mac mini 1,25 plus Superdrive Buy extra Kingston RAM, and sell the old 512. Or.. lowest imac 1,8 G5. And wait 2 more months.. |

I would agree with the iMac, but for other reasons.
iMac G5 Advantages: 1. higher RAM capacity (2 Gigs) 2. faster main buss 3. conventional hard drives are bigger, faster and cheaper (MacMini uses a notebook drive) 4. no need for a Firewire hub, with multiple ports, you should have any daisy chain problems |
