you can do it all in Ableton as well, that's what everyone I work with as well as myself use. We produce everything from electro to full on bands with string sections and whatnot. The answer truly is: There is no best, it all comes down to personal preference, I just love Ableton, everyday I...

Thanks jonny, I was pretty sure looking down was the proper configuration. Keeping it on the shelf would definitely keep me from slouching, but the picture just isn't the same viewing from below...

Thanks for all your help, I have a lot of decisions to make over the next few hours. Hopefully I'll have pictures up of the new setup later.

not necessarily, it is probably better for my back and posture to look up at the monitor rather than down... I think I may prefer it down... why?

and before anyone says it, the lava lamp is in the bedroom right now... not migrating until the transformation is complete... :thumbs up:

This is how my setup currently looks. Tomorrow my Mac Pro arrives... which means, the space taken up by the MBP will be free, the display will be coming down to desk level at the very back of the desk, the midi keyboard will be moved between the display and computer keyboard. To place the...

They are making firewire interfaces with USB outs now as well. If you must go firewire, I suggest getting one of the devices with both outs...

hmmmmm... as I previously said...

interesting....

Which will die first, this thread, or the VCR!!

If you state specifically what exactly it is you are looking to do, it will be way easier for people on the forum to provide you with answers that will help make your decision easier. A little research on your own will never hurt, it is best to come to the forum asking: 'I am between DAW 'A'...

I use Ableton Suite 8 and just ordered an 2.8GHz 8 core Mac Pro, with 16GB ram, 120GB SSD boot drive and 4TB data/backup drives in a striped RAID array. For an interface I am using a Mackie ONYX BlackJack 2x2.

Don't ever post again!!!

I bet if you looked up Logic's system requirements and checked them against the specific Mac Mini you have in mind you would answer your question much faster than the forum could (especially since you didn't specify any specs about the computer)

Indeed, about 5 years ago when I first started using Ableton, just came to the point where I'm needing to freeze tracks for performance rather than archiving... and although Ableton's help center is very helpful, it is not quite specific in the situation I needed the information for, so, thank...

You are being too vague... Do you plan on running the instruments line in directly to the interface, do you plan on micing them. How many tracks do you NEED to record at once? Do you want to do a full live setup, or can you record track by track. If you are looking to just run the guitar/bass...

Google is your friend. Put the model numbers you posted into a google search and read the reviews and choose which would be best for your application and budget. The members of this forum can suggest things all day but that doesn't mean that we know what is best for you! If you are too new to...

You only want one device that has a lot of I/O on firewire. It can't handle multiple large transfer devices such as an external HD and an audio interface. I would say go with firewire for the drive and USB for the interface. If you can afford the 7200rpm drive go with that, you will be fine...

You CANNOT record MIDI directly to an audio track in Ableton, It will not let you drag MIDI into an audio track.

Good to know, haven't really taken the time to do a lot of research on freezing right now as most of my extra reading time is being put into Bobby Owsinski's 'The Mixing Engineer's Handbook.' Glad to know I can still edit the MIDI info once frozen, that is a HUGE reason I hadn't done it while...
