[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1246511, member: 184879"] the iMac will be more than capable of this. they also run very silent, so you dont have to worry about fan noise spilling onto your tracks. PCs generally run a little louder due to standardised fans and cooling systems. the CPU is the most important aspect of any music production computer, and rest assured to effectively "double" the power of the iMac you are going to have to build one yourself - and seeing as the only consumer grade CPU that is above the i5 2500/k right now is an i7 2600k (and they definitely [B]don't[/B] double the performance compared to the i5) You would have to look into server-grade parts. And they ain't cheap. anyway, i am rambling. The iMac is a perfect computer for recording. I would be more worried about your hardware, room acoustics & microphones. in particular your audio interface. has it got enough ins/outs for what you want to be able to do? [/QUOTE]
