Ok, this is the whole reason I have not gotten a desktop. I just don't do
enough to warant all this stuff which I don't understand. I mean I have a
lot of projects but they are small. I'm a singer songwriter. Sonar is my
version of the eight track dat with a lot more power. Of course, if I got a
computer, I'd do the two hard drives, even though I don't really understand
the need and it seems like it would be confusing. Like you'd be always
searching for your stuff. But how can you run windows on a mac? Isn't that
like two different operating systems? Darrell has mentioned garage band,
but since we colaborate on songs sometimes, isn't that a bad idea? I'm not
arguing I promise, just asking a whole lot of questions. Because honestly
my laptop works great other than that I have to hook it up whereas a desktop
would just stay hooked all the time.

Subject: Re: [Jsonar] Windows or mac?
Hi. You can run windows natively on a desktop without a problem. So,
if you have a dual boot machine, you can have a mac OS X partition,
and a windows partition.
I really can't think of much that you can't do on a mac now. as far
as music production, you have garage band and pro tools as the two
main options currently. The main drawback with pt right now is the
fact that the event list editor is not accessible.
Macs are built very well, now have thunderbolt, and windows runs very
smoothly on a Mac.
Regarding the desk space issue, a mac book pro or an I mac would solve
that.
For audio work, you really want two hard drives; a system drive and an
audio/storage drive. You can use the thunderbolt port to connect an
additional drive or drives, with or without using a raid
configuration. Also, you can get the I mac with two hard drives now.
A solid state hd and a 7200rpm hd. that would work fine.
Good luck,
Cameron.

Our next purchase, after we actually purchase monitors that work and

pop and hiss, is a new computer. Darrell is all about mac this and mac
that. He says mac is best. Can I use sonar with mac? Are macs blind
friendly? I tried to tell him that I didn't think mac would work well
with
sonar. He isn't really believing me. I'm afraid it would end up being
an
accessibility issue. If both of us are going to use a computer that's
mostly for music... wouldn't it make sense to have something that both of
us
can use? So remind me again why it's better to have a desktop? Is it a
hard drive issue? Would I still be using a audio interface like m audio
to
plug into everything? What is the difference between a computer designed
for music and one that isn't? The bad thing is that I'd also have to get
speakers and a monitor to clutter up my already crowded table.
