mac mini for music vs new soundcard
so i want to set up a home recording thang. mostly sequenced stuff, but with plenty of recording guitars, vocals, etc.
do i buy a creative labs audigy sound card, that's bundled with cubase and put it in my ageing PC (2.4ghz, 1gb ram, 80gb, dvdr) and hope it works well
..or do i splash out £500 on the mac mini with superdrive - safe in the knowledge it'll work great and have garageband, imovie hd, etc all ready to play with!
I do music and video mostly, really tempted to get a mac but when i write it down like that it seems foolish and costly.
I know this is a biased place to post, but what do you think? convince me it's worth the cost! i've still got to buy a microphone adaptor for the thing! for crying out loud!
also... how do i move my itunes library over onto the new mac? will the tracks i've bought from the store still work on the mac and my ipod?
