I have been reading the Posts regarding the "New" Mac's... Whew. Wow. Wham. I think I am going to change my name to Mac Grand Daddy! I am so out of the loop it is crazy. I am happy to say I spend time creating music and rarely anytime dealing with Technical Issues.
I "Feel Ya". You take your hard earned cash, lay it down, rush home to compose the next big 'Hit' and you are held up with TechCrap. Argghhh! I will be happy when I see fewer, not more of the Problems with "New" gear. I know many of you would think me "Backward" but, you can get an older system that runs without issues for half the price of what you are paying for this "New" gear.
I apologize if I seem "Out Of Touch", but in the few years I have been a member of 440 Forum I have never seen as many Problems. It's not the members fault, especially the first time buyers, you either buy too little or not enough. Salespeople can be real bullies and kick your butt, plus make you feel good about it! They go back and laugh about how they just ripped off another newbie. The worst is that you will return to these same Salespeople for more advice. You buy, go home, plug in the gear... "It still doesn't work"!!!!!
If you want to create music. Buy an older, complete system. See and hear it in operation. You can probably get the complete set-up, they might even throw in the Monitors if they really need the money. Older systems were purchased with insight, usually by a person who wanted the best for their music, not the "Cheapest", when you buy cheap, you buy twice. If you are lucky enough to find someone with a 'Complete System' and they are "Retiring From Th Game" they will be helpful knowing their gear is going to a "Good Home". Good gear seldom goes bad. It is respected, even by the most Destructive Rock & Roll Hotel Trashers.
In closing, if your new system is really kicking your butt, sell it get something older and complete for less. Or continue on your chosen path. Eventually the problems get solved, but, you ain't makin music!!!!
