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 |

I would second that ram suggestion. Limited ram is like putting a gallon of gas in a car on empty. You can get going but you won't get very far before you run out of possibilities(stuck in first gear... and then the program quits). Ram=better performance.
