Hello,
I am interested in getting feedback from any members that are using mac mini computers to do music. I recently purchased the mac mini specifically for general use; but I realized I have a computer w/ a 1.42ghz processor. I've been doing music projects on a 500mhz G4 powerbook for the last few years. My software of choice is Logic Pro 7.1. The audio interface is a Firewire 410. I'm interested in knowing if mac minis have been reliable for others who are recording audio. Secondly, I'm interested in the choices of software that others are using with this computer besides the bundled garageband software. Any feedback would be great. Thanks |

Hey Derok. I'm not aware of anyone using a mac mini for music recording, but with the specs it has, it should be good to run many programs, although even Logic Express is looking for 512 MB of RAM and "recommends" that it be run on a G4 dual processor or a G5! If you are looking for something inexpensive in software that has a ton of features (besides Garageband of course
 you might want to check out Tracktion 2 from Mackie www.mackie.com Their website has good info on it, reviews, a video overview, etc.
