I have been a PC user for many years and am tired of all the problems with it. I read the article in the July issue of Electronic Musician on building a personal studio. They described a system with a PC running Gigastudio and the main computer a Mac G4. I plan on purchasing the system described.
Base Configuration: Dual 1.25GHz-512MB- 120 GB SuperDrive ATI Radeon video card Extra RAM: 512MB 266Mhz PC2700 DDRRAM SCSI Card: Adaptec 29160N Ultra-160 1 st Drive: 60 GB ATA, System Drive 2nd Drive: 73 GB SCSI 10k RPM , Audio Drive Rack Chassis: Marathon G-Rack Audio Hardware: Frontier Design Dakota/Tango24 Misc. Hardware: TC Electronics PowerCore Sequencing Software: MOTU Digital Performer Cost: $ 8295.20 Vendor: http://www.wavedigital.com/ My question's Has anyone purchased a computer from this company? or know anything about them?, Is the cost resonable?. I have seen a software program called Virtuial PC that is designed to run PC software on the Mac. I have a lot of music PC programs, will they run on the Mac with this program. If so, mabey I can run Gigastudio this way. Thanks for any help . |

wow... that is quite a list and chunk of money you are talking about
i have never dealt with that company but I might suggest another company that should have most if not all those products and they offer the best customer support of many of the online retailers I have dealt with . Try www.sweetwater.com and don't hesitate to call them about any questions. And seeing that you are going to be spending a good deal of money... they may be able to work you a nice deal. They assign you a sales rep based on your music needs and they are quiet informative and personable. As far as Virtual PC goes... yes it does run PC apps but sometimes certain apps fail to recognize external devices on the mac and some apps just don't work well at all... plus the emulator is much slower than using the real thing. I am not sure I would even mess with it.
