The quad core mini's server or otherwise are very thin on the ground these days unfortunately, especially here in Ireland. Plus they're almost becoming a saught after item used so probably not the best value. Now I remember why I dislike macs, even shopping on the mac store online is frustrating

Is it worth picking up a quad core Mac Mini second hand? If you go that route, keep an eye open for the server version. It allows you to shove two drives in the box for a slightly neater setup. Scott On 3/31/15, Brian@Wavefield Recordings br...@wavefieldrecordings.com wrote: Thanks for that, I

Thanks for that, I was wondering if the PT with speech had setup stuff but there might be extra tips and tricks in PT and V O prefs that people are using here. The gs-r 24 m is in fact an amazing desk, so much so I'll invest in a mac and PT and change everything to use its features fully. Its a

I am using logic to do this at this time. Matt how could someone get the version of addictive drums that you have and what it run with ProTools version 11 or 12? I also have my role in the drum kit I could fire and create an audio track when doing live recording in ProTools. Ricky Prevatte

Hello all, I still need some clarification as far as my metering question. In my pro tools preferences, I did set my peak meters to be infinite, but I am noticing that what is happening is when I go to read the level on a track, for example, in this case it is the master fader, my meters are

What if you were to buy a used quad Mini? Then, you could max out the ram 3rd party, and send it off to have an SSD put in 3rd party. Bryan Smart recommends this great company in Kansas that will do the drive swap pretty cheap, and a 1TB Samsung SSD is incredibly reasonable. I have the I7 Quad
