If you're going back and forth between PT and Logic I would recommend the Mackie MCU pro, I think you can get them for around $400 used. If you need mic pre's and headphone all in one surface then you would have to let us know your price range. I haven't heard of any using the Beranger piece with PT myself, but then again, maybe some don't go that rout after putting such a chunk of money into a good PT set up. Are you on the Pro Tools access list for the blind? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of brian kijewski Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2016 6:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Mac and Control Surface Recommendations
Hello, I am looking to get a new mac computer and a control surface. I’m currently still using my macbook pro from 2008 and it still works okay, but I think it’s time to upgrade. I use Pro Tools 11 and Logic Pro. What would be the difference in performance with a dual core vs. quad core? I currently have 4GB of memory, Is there a big difference between 8GB and 16GB? Also wondering if anyone here uses a Macbook Air or Mac Mini for Pro Tools? I’m considering this Laptop Computer with 15.4" Retina Display, Force Touch Trackpad, 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 Processor, 256GB Flash Storage, 16GB Memory, 2 USB 3.0, and 2 Thunderbolt Ports I also plan on purchasing a control surface. Automating with the keyboard is just not cutting it anymore LOL. Any suggestions for a good one? I’d be willing to spend between $500-$1000. All feedback would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Brian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
