Howdy everyone. I have been looking for a Mac that I can afford to do some music (and maybe home movies) with a MIDI keyboard and get started with creating a DAW.
My uncle has a very old dual G4 450 mhz that I could buy from him and start using in my home. Is there still software out there that I could use for a long while, is this Mac powerful enough for my recording needs, or is this way too old to really be worth my time? He says it has mac OS X9 currently as the OS. IS that a problem? Where would I start looking to find the software I need to get started with this older machine? Any other tips welcome/appreciated. Thanks for your time. Razor |

I would second the prior post though the review I read on upgrading CPU didn't sound THAT easy. You really do need something a little faster than 450mhrz speed & a MINIMUM of 512 meg of RAM to do anything substantial but if your initial cash outlay for this Mac is small, then you are well on your way.

Anybody got any ideas for websites to get these upgrades? Does apple.com still sell them online? What about other software besides protools free? Is it pretty good? What hardware would you recomment with it, etc. And where else could I get older software, say an older copy of MOTU or something. What peripherals are you guys using for older machines? Thanks for taking the time to post! Razor Ce message a été modifié par razor_usmc - lun. 31 juil. 2006, 19:39. |
