Ello there, I hope you're all bloody good.
I recently recorded a song on GarageBand, (I have access to another daw which came with my Focusrite but I'm quite happy with simplicity at the moment). I've purchased waves abbey road and kontakt Alicia's keys. I have maybe 7 tracks running but each with 5 plugins, overkill probably.. but I'm new to this!
I've borrowed my brothers Mac, late 2009 8gb ram and garage band is seriously not handling it!! Lots of popping, overload errors etc. I've decided to spend my savings on a new Mac. What should I look out for, I intend to use a lot of plugins to make up for my lack of skill. What specifics should I be looking for in a Mac? Ram or ghz? Do I need to save my plug ins to an ext hard drive.
I figured writing the song was the hardpart.. This feels like navigating a minefield with my eyes blindfolded whilst I'm being foced onto said field by a sumo wrestler.
Any reply would be welcome and is rewarded with good karma
Much love
