I'm setting up a composing/recording setup for home. It;ll be built around Digital Performer or the new Logic when it comes out, and I'll be using a lot of virtual instruments. I can get a good deal on slightly used core duo 2.16 imacs now ($1k for a 20" or $1300 for a 24") or I'm wondering if I should wait for the new generation that will be out in a few months.
Can the current ones give me the horsepower I need, or should I wait? Thoughts? Thanks all! *$%($*(@!! is online now Report Post Edit/Delete Message |

Given the way the lines are revamped, if you way for the next big thing, you'll wait forever. Right now the iMacs are reliable, so it's better to have one now and work on it than wait for later hardware where problem may occur.
Now, you should really add into your budget the RAM to add, as you'll need some more! And the mandatory external drive for audio, of course… -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
