Are the improvements worth the money for audio?
Specifically: It seems that there are very good graphics improvements (from what were already exceptional), but budgetwise I don't need better graphics, but rather optimal audio functionality. Also, a couple of questions... 1) The Xserve technology that I think all of the new G4's come with seems to be a server based advantage. I am somewhat of a novice. ...Was Apple trying to design a superpower machine for creative people (like me who wants to dedicate my machine to recording music) and therefore assumed that when you are recording that your machine is functioning as a server as opposed to a home computer? 2) Is the Mac® OS X version 10.2 “Jaguar” designed for tasks such as audio recording? Have there been some good reviews on this yet?

Noisy fans, yep, people have mentioned that a lot. We're not talking loud in terms of Rolls Royce jet engines, but you still wouldn't want to record your vocal standing next to one.
BTW, in the current issue of MacUser (in the UK - macuser.co.uk), they review the dual 867MHz G4 and conclude that it's pretty good, but not significantly faster than a single processor G4. A lot of it probably is Apple simply wanting new machines on the market without any revolutionary performance to offer. Any decent-spec G4 from the last year or so is still going to be an excellent machine for music. |
