I Need A Few Arguments To Make To The Funds Gods, Teamwork people! Options

[bcatcho]

Ok, so i am a commercial music major in college at the moment, and in all our student studios and student classrooms we use Mac G5's and all that wonderful mac software.

At home i record onto my windows tablet, which works averagely well but I have my gripes.

Now basically i want a mac. I could really integrate what im learning in school well with one, and frankly, they are just awesome.

Of course i am low on funds and will need to ask my parents if they can spot me a loan (since im going to end up using this beast to finish the set up of a personal studio that i _want_ to turn into a small buisness on the side).

Do any of you have any good, mature argument ideas that i could use to persuade my parents into helping me out (pay for half actually) AND any ideas of what model i should purchase (for midi/sequencing/16+ track audio recording/mastering/ the works)?

I will apreciate any ideas, especially from those of you who may be parents and know what would work an you .

If you have access to a studio at college, why not write a song that they appreciate? I'm sure you know what tastes they have. Find an appropriate time to put the CD on and sit back and watch their faces. If they're impressed, I'm sure (If they can afford it) they might consider helping you on your way. After your brief 'sell out' you can return to making songs to your own musical tastes again.
