I'm setting up a composing/recording setup for home. It;ll be built around Digital Performer or the new Logic when it comes out, and I'll be using a lot of virtual instruments. I can get a good deal on slightly used core duo 2.16 imacs now ($1k for a 20" or $1300 for a 24") or I'm wondering if I should wait for the new generation that will be out in a few months.
Can the current ones give me the horsepower I need, or should I wait? Thoughts? Thanks all! *$%($*(@!! is online now Report Post Edit/Delete Message |

I think that it mostly depends on what you want to do music wise RIGHT NOW. If you already have a setup and not buying a new computer is not holding you up from working then stick with what you got and wait. For whatever its worth there will be minor bugs in the next generation that will take 3 to 6 months to really iron out between the hardware and software people so waiting for the next big thing is not always the best idea.
