I need a computer for audio recording and I'm leaning towards a Mac, but I keep hearing all these things about software not running in OS X or 9.1. All new Macs come with OS X and 9.1, will I be able to run Logic audio/Cubase with this? I have a budget of about $2500(for computer ,with educational discount, and soundcard), what would you recomend(I don't need more than 2 inputs, but I do need midi)? Thanks in advance

I haven't heard of compatibility problems with any of the major software apps (Logic, Cubase, Performer, ProTools, etc.) & OS 9.1, and most of these will support OS X by the end of the year (if you believe what you read). If you only need 2 inputs, and don't need studio quality A/D conversion, the $35 iMic will work just fine ( no sound card needed). A basic USB/MIDI interface runs aboutt $60.
I just got one of the new iBooks & the MOTU 828 firewire interface (18 channels in & out) with AudioDesk recording software (Digital Performer without the MIDI) The whole set-up cost me less than $2300. |
