The quad core mini's server or otherwise are very thin on the ground these days unfortunately, especially here in Ireland. Plus they're almost becoming a saught after item used so probably not the best value. Now I remember why I dislike macs, even shopping on the mac store online is frustrating

Thanks for that, I was wondering if the PT with speech had setup stuff but there might be extra tips and tricks in PT and V O prefs that people are using here. The gs-r 24 m is in fact an amazing desk, so much so I'll invest in a mac and PT and change everything to use its features fully. Its a

What if you were to buy a used quad Mini? Then, you could max out the ram 3rd party, and send it off to have an SSD put in 3rd party. Bryan Smart recommends this great company in Kansas that will do the drive swap pretty cheap, and a 1TB Samsung SSD is incredibly reasonable. I have the I7 Quad

Actually I think I've just had the good fortune of finding a mid 2011 iMac with 3.3 quad i7, 32 gigs of ram, ssd and 1 tb sata drive for the equivalent of just under 2000 dollars. A film production company in my town are upgrading! Seems a no brainer to me Sent from my smart-ish phone! On

That thing no doubt will work. I believe that i would take them up on that. The age is not important to me that thing will run forever. That is until you upgrade yourself out of house and home. I kept my sonar rig for about 10 years. Ricky Prevatte LMBT1154 On Mar 31, 2015, at 5:39 PM,

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

Quad core iMac should serve you well. Envious of your board. I am a user of the originator and younger brother of that board the ZED r16 and love it. From what i understand PT with speech should walk you through settings and ge you going. On Mar 30, 2015, at 2:03 PM, CaseyBrian Casey
