I have been a PC user for many years and am tired of all the problems with it. I read the article in the July issue of Electronic Musician on building a personal studio. They described a system with a PC running Gigastudio and the main computer a Mac G4. I plan on purchasing the system described.
Base Configuration: Dual 1.25GHz-512MB- 120 GB SuperDrive ATI Radeon video card Extra RAM: 512MB 266Mhz PC2700 DDRRAM SCSI Card: Adaptec 29160N Ultra-160 1 st Drive: 60 GB ATA, System Drive 2nd Drive: 73 GB SCSI 10k RPM , Audio Drive Rack Chassis: Marathon G-Rack Audio Hardware: Frontier Design Dakota/Tango24 Misc. Hardware: TC Electronics PowerCore Sequencing Software: MOTU Digital Performer Cost: $ 8295.20 Vendor: http://www.wavedigital.com/ My question's Has anyone purchased a computer from this company? or know anything about them?, Is the cost resonable?. I have seen a software program called Virtuial PC that is designed to run PC software on the Mac. I have a lot of music PC programs, will they run on the Mac with this program. If so, mabey I can run Gigastudio this way. Thanks for any help . |

i'd suggest waiting 'till OS X is really a usable option. i was a pc user for a long time, and i'ved fallen in love with OS X... but OS 9 really isn't too much better than 98/2000/xp. wait 'till this whole audiounits situation is figured out, and all the software you need is on OS X. i've been doing only instramentals laitly with peak and reason to avoid going into os 9 for dp3
 now having said that, if you're not picky about how complex your multitrack software is, and you don't mind spending more money later on major software upgrades, bias does have peak and deck, which is all you really need. anyway that's my $.02. |
