Hi guys, I'm a Sonar user and it looks like my hand is being forced into moving to ProTools quite quickly for my now commercial studio. Essentially I am upgrading to a nice Allen and Heath gs-r 24 mixer/interface, and for numerous reasons I won't get into both its midi control and audio functionality aren't jplaying well with Sonar and my PC. I could send it back but I don't want to because its just a computer issue. Anyway, I'm weighing up jumping to working off the mac and ProTools exclusively, which may sound some what foolish an it probably is, but I did use ProTools and Voice Over for a few projects when 8.0.4 came out first and I'll mostly be working from my desk and outboard equipment, so it should be a little easier. I am thinking of going for a quad core imac because a mac pro is out of my budget and I don't need too much processing heft. So I'd like suggestions of what I should get to start off, I have a potential list so far and tell me what you might add/change. 1. Obviously an external thunderbolt drive for the audio, iLock, full keyboard with the num pad etc, most here seem to recommend a track pad too? 2. The latest osx and protools 12 should cause no problems so may as well go with the new one? 3. I want to get the ProTools with speech tutorials straight away to get up and running with basics fast, is it all still up to date and relevant? 4. Does anyone have or wish to compile for me/future users a list of ProTools preference settings, Voice Over preference settings etc that will serve me well, I have a quick run through the archives but honestly I don't have time to read anymore than I have and information is fragmented between all the various PT changes etc since 8.0.4. Other than these things I don't have any huge ideas short of just hitting the buy button and jumping in. As I say I've used Mac's sparingly and not with loads of joy in the past, and I do have an iPhone so I'm at least some bit in tune with the evil Apple ways. Thanks in advance, Brian.
