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.. |

Since the iMac 1,8 G5 is a more modern powerful computer - you should be
able to push it a lot harder. VI:s (MOTU MX-4 as an example ) and convolution reverbs are very processor intensive. A mac mini wont handle much of that, but will do nicely if you keep things simple. In any case get lots of ram 1GB minimum. Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
