    I want studio furniture but my rack-mount space would be empty!

    If you were to ahve nothing in the rack and wanted it to fill out the studio what would you start with. Sorry if you think its dumb that I might not need it but want it to look good and impress clients. I think that is a big factor to drawing in people to record.

    Going to college need a laptop? PC or MAC? LOL

    Now that macs run pc software they really have a big appeal to EVERYONE I think. But I have one basic question will a 1300 dollar mac be as fast as a 1300 dollar pc laptop? I think the answer is no. I feel like in order to get a fast enough mac laptop you need to spend around 1500-2000 dollars...
