Speaking of lion, and the new sandy bridge macs that are supposed to be released soon. Is there a twitter feed, or mailing list available so you know when these products are about to hit the shelf? Also, if you buy a new mac in let's say June, that has snow leopard on it, does apple allow you to upgrade for free or a discount? Probably not.

The reason for thinking a mini will be fine is because I'm currently running a pc with a 2.5 GHz dual core cpu and 2 GB ram and I'm recording fine. The mini can go up to 2.8 or 9 GHz dual core with 8 GB RAM, but please tell me what you guys think will I be fine with a mini? Another thing, is there something like 32 and 64 bit on a mac? would I be able to use 64 bit software designed for pc and mac and get the most from it on a mini?

A drive just for audio will allow you to avoid headaches. Make sure that it is a firewire 800 drive with firewire pass through. You always want to plug your harddrive in first and then your audio interface. Also you want the drive to be 7200 rpm. > > HTH > --FC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
