Hello there,
Thanks in advance for any useful comments I wish I had found this site ages ago Im basically looking to invest in enough to make me a home studio, and I have nothing except a Midi Piano and Guitars. Therefore, my shopping list is as follows: a. PowerBook 15inch, 2GB RAM, 1.67 ... I have found a place in Switzerland, where I live, where I can get this for about 1300 quid new. b. Logic Pro 400 quid (id like to compose classical, rock, pop, jazz, piano based, with programmed sounds/effects/rhythm/bass - which i hope are included in logic 7 after all ive read - and some audio and vocals i can supply with electric guitar and mikes) ... student price c. Sennheiser Microphone for vocals around 150 quid d. M-Audio Firewire FW410 M-Audio FW410 200 quid Headphones, Speakers, Cables, Stands ... another 450 quid, making about 2500 in all Any specific comments about suggestions for components would be useful, as well as a general slap in the face to completely rethink my architecture, but I appreciate the advice of another poster suggesting one question per post ... thus, if it had to be one question, i would ask about the mac itself I mean, I've never bought a mac before, its just that a few people have told me that logic has everything i need and macs run logic and macs are good for creative stuff ... but can i get away with an ibook instead, or am i much better off with an imac? i guess im into the powerbook as its more powerful than an ibook and more portable than an imac ... but as imac is cheaper and more powerful it may be a better option as im slightly more into performance than portability ... if anyone has serious doubts about logic on powerbook 1.67ghz, then maybe they could let me know ? thanks alot daniel |

If portability is one of your concerns I would like to take the time to point out the the new iMac is very small/thin. Check the net on the iMac carrying cases. I am sure they exist, plus if you get a wireless system for your iMac it becomes even easier to set up and take down.
You will get better performance (much faster iMac g5 processor) from the iMac vs. the laptop and have more of an ability to expand -my 2 cents. |
