Im about to make the grand leap into digital audio recording and have a number of friends already using Logic 9 so that's what I intend to use too. Im getting a lot of conflicting advice - some say a desktop is too noisy and thus interferes with Mic placement (it will all be in one room), some say a mini mac would be fine but I shall want to use it for quite a few other apps too, nothing to do with recording; some reckon on i-Mac. I would actually like a laptop, particularly as it will allow me to record elsewehere but hear that they run very hot and may not be suitable for using over long periods at a time. Im also not sure about the number of usb connections on a laptop. I hear some of the recent ones have issues with the ports being too close together (???) Is a laptop easy to upgrade internally? Price is not too much of an issue (though naturally I'll shop around!)
Can anyone give me some advice on this. PLEASE! It's a jungle out here!!!! It would be great to hear from people actually doing this on various models.... naturally the faster the better (the computer not the responses but that too...) Do all modern Macs use the same processors as PCs or is this complete confusion - really - what's best?
