hey guys, was just wondering if its possible for you to supply me with some honest advice. ive only used PC's and never had a mac, but im starting to get into a bit of music production/making beats and ive really been reccomended to buy a mac.
ive been into my local mac shop and was heavily reccomended to get a powermac g5, but im kind of on a budget... if i need a powermac g5 to get good performance then ill get one, but i really want one of those sexy 23" displays (wont be able to afford that with a powermac)
anyways basically what im doing is just playing around with an aka mpd16, maybe at some point get some decent software (as i have to buy and not download- GAHH) maybe logic or something. its not gonna be running through an amazing soundsystem or anything, just generally for personal pleasure (incase i get totally hooked, maybe need something a bit upgradable)
sooooo... i really want an IMAC g5 (would just fit perfectly into where i want it, looks, size, everything). will this do what i need it to? will i need to get a decent external soundcard? upgrade ram? (im looking at the 2ghz, 512mb ram, 160gb hdd, 20" screen version). but basically i mainly need to know if it will give me the performance i need, having never done any music production on a mac before.
thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give me
