Re: new music computer-->iMac or Mini??

>I know the later iMacs can take up to 16 GB of RAM depending on the model.< 32G for the 27" since 2010 per OWC. I have 20G in mine and will go to 32G if I need to. Per OWC, the 2012 27"s will be the same and as easy to upgrade (very) RAM when they start shipping in a couple of weeks. The...

Re: new music computer-->iMac or Mini??

I just dumped my iMac for an older 8 core Mac Pro system quite similar to what you currently utilize. From my experience I will say that you will be disappointed Without knowing what iMac you had, this doesn't tell us much. The first iMac had 128M of RAM and G3 processor. That would be disappointin...

That was a real head scratcher when that was inexplicably missing. So glad they put it back, but the new layout is still not as good as the old imho. :)

Re: new music computer-->iMac or Mini??

I just dumped my iMac for an older 8 core Mac Pro system quite similar to what you currently utilize. From my experience I will say that you will be disappointed if you are going from your current system to an iMac unless you get at least a quad core and max out the RAM. I find the Mac Pro far more ...

Re: Best Audio interface for portable recording?

Since purchasing my new RME Fireface 800 back in October I have become a very staunch advocate of their products for all things related to digital recording. I had run the gamut with audio interfaces trying 4 different ones by MOTU (including the Traveller, 2408), the Profire 2626 by M- Audio (proba...

Re: Use Motu's MIDI interfaces

7) Use MOTU's MIDI interfaces. All due respect, but I'm not sure about this one. Aren't most of the people having MIDI problems using MOTU MIDI interfaces? I've never used one and have never had a MIDI problem. M-Audio and Tascam interfaces have always worked great with my DP set-ups. Gotta admit, ...

Thank you all for your informed and valuable replies and for taking the time to answer this post. The information you have given me is invaluable in making a decision as to what to purchase.

Re: best MIDI controller for use with DP 7.24

Well from what I've read almost all of these newer controllers are compatible with every known DAW except Digital Performer. It never makes the list of any supported DAW's that these MIDI controllers are plug n' play with. There seems to be a whole in depth process of having to do assignments for al...

best MIDI controller for use with DP 7.24

Hi I'm reading some of the issues folks are having with various MIDI controllers and am wondering which is the best one to purchase for working in DP 7.24? One that was suggested to me was the M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 but I have no experience with this controller. Any input I could get from you knowledg...

Re: DP 7.24 MIDI playback issue with MIDI input

I've got the exact same intermittent problem, regardless of VI or non VI. It only starts occuring after a while. My only solution so far: quit and relaunch DP, resume recording till the problem occurs again. Very frustrating, but at least, we all know now that only a fix with Lion can solve it. Thi...
