Hello. How are we? Good.
Hopefully I've posted this in the right section.
I'm after advice with a range of things, from buying to networking. I'm a voiceover artist, currently running a PC setup but wanting to switch over to Mac. I'm thinking of a Mac Pro with a MacBook Pro for any editing of sound files I need to do on the move (or when I can't be bothered sitting in my office). I'm probably going to have ProTools and other similar things installed on both systems for this purpose.
Thing is, though - I'm not exactly sure what I need to be buying.
I want to have a network in my home office - something I can access relatively big files (audio and video) from any of my machines, without a host computer having to be necessarily turned on, wasting power.
As it's a home office, it'd also be beneficial to have this low-power unit hosting my iTunes library, too - so I can access all my library again without having to turn a host computer on.
Does this make sense? Is there anything I can buy that'd help me with this?
