QUOTE (ConnorGilks @ Dec 16 2012, 10:36 AM)  If you're willing to go with a Mac, a Mac Mini is $600 and almost EXACTLY the same specs as an iMac. I use one for recording and haven't had any issues except with RAM (But I only have 1GB, though you can have up to 8GB in the Mac Mini). Very good point! Also - good thing with Mac route is that it allows you to install Windows natively (so you get both Mac OSX and Win on same machine) so you can work in your favorite DAW. I have a dual boot on my Mac and it works great. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I have a dual boot on my Mac and it works great. This isn't always a good solution as sometimes you do not want an emulator sitting there between the daw and the OS and in some instances a daw may make use of kernal level routines. (This is one reason why PT 10 does not run on 64 bit as ztevie says above.) Just about Plextor CDRs Quenoz - most mastering engineers, including us, use the Premium 2. As far as I know you can now only get them as NOS (new old stock) and it costs about 70-120 Euros when you can find one. The major reason why we use them is that they are one of the very few CDRs that allow you to produce a BLER report which is needed to check PMCDs before they go to a replicator. If you're not mastering professionally then you can use other CDRs of a similar quality - Samsung are usually ok and are about 1/2 the price or less. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

There is no emulation, you just install the Windows OS as on any other computer/hardware (PC). There are drivers included for all the components inside the iMac and it works flawlessly so far. I might be mistaken though? Is this the case or there is some emulation going on? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I might be mistaken though? Is this the case or there is some emulation going on? No I think you're right - I misread your post about the native set up. I have however heard of some problems when people have tried to run some pc based daws native on recent macs. Daws here inluded the first release of sadie 6, Pyramix and Sequoia - so really the heavy duty pro end ones. These (or at least some versions of sadie and Pyra, I don't know about Seq) make use of some early dos routines in order to do the pq and bler properly. IMacs don't have a suitable CDR for the pq and bler. I also remember years ago that you could run in to problems with Windows dual boots if the install wasn't done properly - this was way back with Win 2000 etc and i don't think that's the issue though. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
