Hey all...glad to be a part of this site\forum..happy 2005./...
I just have 2 quick questions about the new Mac Mini... Due to budget constraints I ordered the Mac Mini as a better DAW than what I am using....after countless blue screens and crashes im switching to a Mac......but anyway how do you all think the Mac Mini will stack up in recording music?? I mainly do hip hope so I really only need about 10 tracks....I purchased the 1.4 g4 mini with 512 ram.....and the 80gig hard drive......Please any insights are welcome ...THANKS!!!!!!! Also thinking about actual devices I was leaning toward Pro Tools Mbox but also have been doing a little research and for about the same amount of money I could get the cheapest MOTU ..... Could anyone point me in the right direction? Glad to be a part of the forums....Thanks to everyone in advance,..!!! |

I have been in the Mac mini product test for the last 2 months, using it with every music program I use. I haven't had a problem of any kind, and I'm even using it to DJ full shifts at the clubs I work. Got a small 12in LCD flat screen on ebay for 100 bucks and a wireless trackball mouse and I don't even have to have a keyboard. I have used it with Pro-Tools, Megaseg & Final Scratch, I have also experimented with and without external drives and had no problems either way.
