Hi!
I bought a small device that fits in to the hdmi port which acts as a dummy.
You can buy it on amazon.

Hmm. Interesting. I wonder what on earth would make it vary from machine to
machine, or do you mean more not so much that, as much as more model to model.
Chris.

Plugging a cable in won't work. At least, I know DVI cables won't trick it, and
I've been told that HDMI don't either. That said, people report that some newer
Minis don't have the problem of lagging with no display connected. Mine did,
and it was a 2011, but others report no such difficulties. It seems to depend
on your machine.

O, K, but I was just trying to make a point. If you don't have a monitor
connected, then how are you keeping Voiceover from lagging to a kur splat
crawl? I heard if you don't have a display connected, this will definitely
happen. Are you just plugging a dummy cable to the display port to trick it?
I hear you can do that, but I've never actually tried.

I do not use a monitor with mine, I just have a headless device. Works very
well. If I needed a screen, I'd connect it to my I Mac.

Anders,
Oh my heavens, yes! The new mac mini's are incredibly! and I do mean
incredibly! well priced. If memory serves correct, an I5 4GB ram, 5200RPM mac
mini is somewhere in the ballpark of $580 before tax. And yes, it would come
with Yosemite. Now, beware, it doesn't come with a monitor, speakers, a mouse,
or keyboard. You'd have to buy those separetly, however, you can get a fairly
decently cheap monitor for just over $100. In fact, what I've! actually done is
to get a cheap little flat pannel television with HDMI. Then, I just ran the
mac directly into it, then set the source on the TV to HDMI, and boom! There
you go! A very nice monitor, and, the sound audio even will be piped through
the TV speakers, eliminating the need for seperet PC speakers. Now, that said,
if you're gonna do audio production stuff, I don't know how serious you are
about that side of music production, but if you're a pro, like me, then
obviously, you're going to want to get a higher end audio inter
face, and maybe even a control surface. The surface isn't required, but it
certainly bigtime will help. The interface however would almost definitely be
a given. One interface I really really love, it's not being made any longer,
but search Amazon, or EBay or the like, as I'm positivbe! you could find one
still new unboxed, is the M-Audio Fasttrack C400. It's even very portable and
quite accessible. If you find one, I'd be happy to help you set it up over
Facetime, Skype, or the like. It would be a pleasure to do so. Also,
obviously, if you're really serious about this, I'd look into a pare of good
studio monitors.
It really does just depend on how far you want to take things.
Then, of corse, though Logic X is doable, dont' get me wrong, the accessibility
isn't probably going to be the most ideal. Let me be very clear, so I don't
get my ass kicked. Logic does? work, yes, but! you will be somewhat limited.
Though way more expensive, I'll admit, ProTools definitely! is the way you'd
wanna go.
Chris.

Subject: Bying a new mac.
Hi!
I am about to buy a new mac soon this year.
But i really don't know what to buy which fits my needs.
I will search for some funding to have the ability to buy a new one.
So i guess there wont be no mac pro which anyway is a bit overkill even though
it could be cool to have one.
And i am totally blind so i don't need the imac with retina support.
What i want is a computer for mail, internet and some music production.
Will a new mac mini be enough for music production or should i stick with a
macbook pro?
I really need some suggestions even though i know its hard to help.
I now have a mac mini mid 2011 which ofcourse begins to be a bit oldish.
The new upcomming macbook seems to be a bit to much for the money i think.
So please help.
Thanks in advance.
