i would like to purchase a mac to do some VERY serious music recording. my guess is to attack the new Mac Pro G-5 Quad. i know a producer, he told me he can float me programs: ProTools & Logic, but he runs a G-4, i'm not very familiar with macs, will that software work on the G5 Quad?, is there a license per machine? can i get around it?
obviously, the tower is much faster, has anyone purchases a new machine from apple.com? w/ a few more bells and whistles than the 1GB that it comes with? i'm thinking, i'm def going to need at least 2 to 3 GB right? base is $2499, but i'm sure with all the cute fun that mac can throw in there, we're talking about $3K right?
is all this power really needed, could i get away with a MacBook? portability isn't really needed, as i would be setting up a studio in my house.
don't mean to rant, but there are so many questions, i really just need some good solid advice on what i'm up against. if you can, PLEASE HELP!!! thank you.
