i dont have much money. and to do simple recording/sequence (1trackat a time, maye 2 but i doubt it) tasks. i wont be needing a G-something, right? im a guitarman and i just want to make some songs with midi drummachine, work out structures etc...
theres a company here in belgium that recycles macs and they sell a full equipped 7300/200 for 200euros. i wana buy that thing it looks very interesting for the price(for the research i have done on macs) the only problem left is SOFTWARE, how do i get older versions of whatever cubase, cakewalk... another thing: yes i wanna do those things on a computer. i worked with cakewalk pro audio 9 before on this computer (which is a pc that runs on windows and isnt mine) and i like that better than working on the stupid drummachine (alesis) on which i tend to lose my patience all the time. keep in mind that i dont have my own computer yet so im gonna use it for some other minimalistic things you think id be allright for 400-500 euros? any suggestions Highly Appreciated and im sorry if theres been someone else before with a similar question. i looked for a bit and it looks like the most have a g3 or more. so before i got crazy i made my own thread |

to start with: thanks a whole lot for your time and especially the info.
its just the price that keeps me from buying a g3. to be honest: i haven't thought too much about the audio and midi stuff yet, soundcard is kindof the next step of research before i buy the Thing. so yes i saw that 7300/200 for 200 with a 14 inch screen but then today i even saw one on the net for 150 euros with a 17"! then the Imacs that are provided with firewire are in such a priceclass that you'd better go for the more recent Powermacs anyway it seems to me as i have been seeing it for a little bit i do realise that i'm gonna be kindov narrow with a 7300/200, but its for now anyway. just see that i can surf a little, burn cd's, and make music on that thing ets all i need. the fact is i just started working and moving out of my house at the same time. i need a computer urgently (contact with family and close friends across the ocean etc) and have saved no money. im saying that because i can already FEEL the following question coming up: "why dont you just be just a little patient and save money so you have a little more room to move in budget as well in a more powerful computer" so now you people know. |
