I am a Music Programmer.I am really keen to switch from Pc to Mac.
This my basic gear list .
PC AMD X2 3800, Motu 828MK2, Cubase SX3, Akai Z4, EMU E4XT, Motif ES 6, Korg Sp100, Maudio Axiom 61and Midi sport.
I'm really confused in selecting whether an IMAC 20 or Mac Pro.
IMAC 20- It is affordable for me but the question is does it worth?
Mac Pro. Should I wait for a Price slash?
I also have a plan to switch Logic pro, though i am comfortable with Cubase, I would Like to how better Logic sounds with Motu 828
Pls help to find a solution asap!!!!!
I found this Site really a cool one ! Thanks to moderators and the guys behind it!!!
Cheers Anil Jons

Anil,
The choice is about cost and future needs. The iMac is a wonderful machine and is fairly powerful. However, aside from external hard drives and RAM you are going to be limited to a slower bus and less expansion.
The Mac Pro will allow much higher RAM and Hard Drive capacity, PCI cards, and external drives/connections. Also, in my experience, the G5/Mac Pro computers are quieter overall than the iMac, but this may be due to the fact that the Mac Pro/G5 towers sit on the floor normally and the fans are removed from your ears a bit more than the iMac's.
I use a MOTU 828 MkI with my G5 and have had wonderful success with DP, Logic, GarageBand, Reason, Ableton Live, etc. in its use. The sound is really very good. The MkII provides better preamps and the CueMix control will give you even better performance than the MkI.
Glad you find this site useful. The members are what make it so. It has been a great resource for me as well over the years. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the switch to Mac. Don't let the paradigm shift on mousing and menu'ing scare you off. It is actually more intuitive if you just relax with it.
peace.
