[QUOTE="6string, post: 997350, member: 120039"] Adding to that, even the lowest end MacBook will do all that you want (around US$1000), so with a $2000 budget, you could go that step higher with your mac choice, or spend that extra money on software and plugins such as Pro Tools (which is the ultimate in home recording software). [url=http://www.digidesign.com/]Digidesign - The Industry Leader in Digital Audio and Live Sound[/url] In saying that, garageband is great, and personally, through spending the time to know the ins and outs of it, I have managed to produce some CD quality recordings. The choice of mac really depends on if you want a laptop or desktop model, but all of them will carry the load without lagging.... the laptops are easily upgradable if you want more Ram or bigger HD, so don't let that be your deciding factor, as there are many online stores that are reputable, and you can get the upgrades a lot cheaper than you can from Apple.
