Yeah, I went and lost my mind and bought a new iMac. 8 gigs of ram. My wallet hates me. But, I needed something stable and quick. Thanks for all the advice and knowledge, folks. I am excited to transition from a stand-alone to a full on DAW. Now, I just have to finish building the base traps...

The reason I started to consider the iMac was because I keep reading about how important it is to get up to 7200rpm. It seems that when you get the Mac Mini up to that, you're into the $1000 range anyway, so why not go the next step? I'd be interested in "specing(?)" a great PC, but I'm not...

Would it be wiser to just stretch the budget for lower priced new iMac? It's double my budget, but it seems to be a safer bet for the longer haul. Or is that overkill?

With that Mac Mini advertised on Ebay, I cannot tell if the processor speed is 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm. I do notice that on the Mac mini website, you can configure a 2.3 GHz to have a larger hard drive(750 GB from 500 GB) to run at 7200 RPM. I assume that's going to raise the price, how much...

So, here is the first one I found on Ebay. How appropriate might these specs be for what I want to do: Product Information This is a customized product of Apple Desktop Mac Mini (June, 2010) Product Identifiers Brand Apple Product Family Mac Mini Model ID Macmini4,1 Model...

I will research this "Mac Mini". I'll look it up. I have a keyboard, mouse and monitor already, so I am really just looking for the CPU/desktop, however since most of the deals I've been looking at seem to just offer the whole package, I'm not picky. My first instinct is a PC, since that is...

Hi. I am planning on using REAPER, but I'm open to others. I'm preferring to buy a new computer as I am a little scared of getting a clunker. I've never owned a Mac, but I'm not partial. I am fine with learning a new OS. Hope that helps with suggestions. I appreciate the info so far!

Hello. I'm in the market for a PC for recording bands. I've purchased two audio interfaces to record 16 channels at once, most likely at 24/48. I won't be mixing many more channels than that, and I won't be using a huge amount of effects. Obviously, a certain amount of compression, EQ, and...

Well, I was basing that figure on what I saw on Ebay, used. But then, I started reading about how some units were unstable for some people, so now I'm not sure about what is the best path to take. Anyone have any suggestions on units? I'm looking at the JamHub in order to keep costs down. I'm...

Hello. I was sent here via Mr. Winer when I corresponded with him regarding my interface confusion. I've been recording for ten years now, with a Korg D1600. I'm ready for a DAW. My trouble is that, I've been doing a lot of research to find the best interface for my needs and I've completely...

Greetings. I'm here via Mr. Winer. I sent him a letter with some dumb questions and he told me to post 'em here. I've lurked here before, a little, but now I'm compelled to join. It seems like a great place, anyway. I've been recording on a modest stand alone device(korg d-1600) and I've decided...
