[QUOTE="ErikJenkins1187, post: 818276, member: 65110"] My iMac handles everything I throw at it. Back in the days of PPC processors the Pro level machine was the way to go if you were serious but now even the lowly Mini has a multicore CPU that can handle more work than an old PPC dual G5 could. Mac Pros are great if you are A) independently wealthy, B)make money off of doing music and can use it as a tax write-off, C) also run alot of video editing services. Other than that, an iMac is a pretty good deal for what you can do with it. It's funny he used Logic, I use Logic and there are some functions it does that don't even take advantage of multi-core CPUs. Take a look at CPU usage in the transport bar when you are bouncing tracks down, it only uses one core, which is probably the most processor intensive thing that a DAW does. [/QUOTE]
