Just saying hello!!!

Finally made the jump away from windows to a mac. Been burnt too many times. My old apps were Sony Acid/Soundforge/Vegas. Dabbled with Sonar too but I was too toasty to continue. Became a really good "beta tester" while my other friends had written/released material. Very excited at the new journey ahead.

My system: 5K iMac [maxed out], UAD Apollo Twin Duo [8.1] Motu micro lite, Mackie MCU+C4

My main software will be Logic Pro X, BFD 3, Reason 8.3

Very happy I got in this late since everything seems very mature and running smoothly. Now I just have to rewire my workflow/thinking into this new paradigm. To make things even more twisted for myself I've opted for the track pad instead of the mouse.

If anyone has any great links to videos I can watch to ease my transition I would appreciate it.

Tips and tricks always welcome.

🙂

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), Logic Pro X 10.10.1

Welcome!!

So.. you sound like and experienced user, perhaps not in the Mac world, but computer wise..

I leave you this useful links with a short description

https://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/ :The absolute beginners guide, you may want to skip this

http://www.macforbeginners.com/ :A more fleshed out guide, excellent for being a pro in the basics, useful in your transition

http://guides.macrumors.com/Mac_Beginner :Another guide

http://apple.stackexchange.com/ :Its like the older sibling of Apple Support Communities, for more advanced questions feel free to ask there

http://www.insanelymac.com/ :News and tips

And of the top of my head, thats what I remember, most of the time its enough you search your question and just add "mac", like for example:

How do i set up a LAN on my computer? You can simply search "LAN mac", and thats about it 🙂 In your time you can start seeing which pages have the most reliable info and start having your favourites.

Also i am leaving some personal favorites:
