Hello
I have not yet purchased my MAC yet, and i am a PC user for the past 10 years or so. anyway i have a couple of questions, i spec'd out a MAC G5 with 1 gig ram, 160 gig harddrive, mac os x, etc and logic platinum 6. i have a roland vs2480, triton pro workstation, and POD guitar effects processor now. i want to MIDI sync this whole studio together and more importantly i am wondering what anyone recommends for creating drums for songs? with loops and with a synth? i have some experience with fruity loops and also i have used the triton extensively for drums. does fruity loops run on a MAC?? ACID?? CUBASE?? these are what i am familiar with?? can anyone recommmened something like these or it s equivalent on the mac?? thanks much

Fruitty Loops is for PCs only. It is amazing what people have done with this software. If you are going to purchase the fastest Apple G5 DP 2.0 then I would purchase Logic 6.0. It has been optimised for the G5. As for drums sounds you can use the next best thing in purchasing the easiest software with REASON 2.5. There is some great info on Apple software here.
