He is a volunteer sound "man" in his church. he is using Power Mac and Power Book + AKG K270. Do you think this is a nice combo for sound editing and casual listening??

headphonecrazy 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2003 It all depends on what Mac peripherals and software we are using with it. I'm a Mac Classic collector and restorer myself, have used the Macs for professional audio editing and broadcasting. Have you heard of the "Protools" by Digidesign used on almost all CD/audio mastering? Well they basically run on a Mac. You can download a LE version Mac/PC for free from their site. But beware, you will need extra hardware and power to go realtime with more than 8 tracks. Can always find something on ebay - cards / softwares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firefox 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2003 I agree that the some of the Mac machines look good. I myself had wanted a custom dual G4 tower (old variant case) but had not been able to find anyone who could make one. LOL! But in the event that you can find someone who could, help me inquire on the cost of the following: Dual G4 1GHz, 1MB cache 1GB DDR-DRAM ATTO UL3D RAID controller 2 * 18GB Quantum Atlas 10K IV 17" ACD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
