imac recording
I am getting ready to inherit an Imac 333mhz,128ram,6gigHD
Just curious should I try to sell it asap OR look into using it for recording? I have always used Cubase & others on a Windows OS, not very familiar @ all with Mac's. PLUS, being that its kinda old, didn't know if it would be worth messing with. Seems like I have heard that the Macs as a whole are MUCH more stable hardware & OS wise when it came to recording even if they are a little slower mhz wise by todays standards. I could probably get around $250 for it on Ebay. Just wanted opinions. thx in advance! Scott --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Flog it off is my advice - too slow, not enough RAM and HD too small. I run a 500 Mhz iMac, with 640RAM and a 20g HD - it copes with the 8 tracks offered by ProTools Free, but 3 reverb plugins and it's all over. Also, IIRC that model doesn't have a CD burner - you'll need an external burner. -- Charlie -- my music is at: http://members.iinet.net.au/~puffin/mp3.html |
