[QUOTE="PeteNottage, post: 1201008, member: 195089"] 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? [/QUOTE]
