Hardly any midi or software instruments.Įdit: in case anyone is interested, this is my Soundcloud page. I have a toddler and another on the way so my wife would probably kill me if I went out and dropped $2k on a new iMac.Īlso, if it matters, I use a Steinberg UR-22 interface (I used to use Cubase but hated it), and mostly record live guitar, bass, synth, a little percussion, and vocals. Basically, I want to keep doing this, but not spend a lot of money because I can't justify it. I won't use this computer for anything else, and I only record a few songs a month, for fun. I want to get the bare minimum Mac that will work cleanly with Logic. I upgraded the RAM to 4GB, but it didn't really make a difference. It has been laboring along and functioning, but it's gotten to the point where I can hardly make a song without everything freezing up. I record with Logic Pro X right now on a very old (2008 model) iMac. Let me start this off by saying I know next to nothing about computer hardware specs, so I struggle with making this decision.
