what mac should i buy?

Question

i want a mac which is the best value 4 money and i want 2 record music. what should i get?

Answer 1

What do you mean by "record music"?



Do you mean you want to plug a single instrument into the computer and record it in Garage band? Every Mac being sold today will do that without a problem. Select the one that matches your other needs.



Do you mean you want to record music live? Will This won't be something you can do on a budget. I assume that you don't want to record lousy music, so you need a better than adequate means of capturing everything. This means multiple mics and multiple connections to instruments. And that means an audio sampler other than USB or Firewire - that is, one that comes with a card that fits in an expansion slot. The mean the Mac Pro, which starts are $2700.



But you can also go the crappy route at pick up a multiport USB or Firewire audio sampler. Hey, the choice is yours.

Answer 2

i own the mac book. I like it, however the mac book pro would be a better investment. The mac book however, is the best computer i have ever had. it's quick, easy to use and extremely flexible. The MACBOOK AIR SUCKS! do not get the air. its a rip off because its thin. It has only one usb port and NO DISK DRIVE! thiis is a pain in the but and not worth a penny of the cost. Hope you find the right computer.



Good luck,

Answer 3

iMac or Mac Pro. The Mac Pro is probably more than you need, but it's incredibly customizable and upgradable. The iMac... not so much. It's a nice design, but it's almost impossible to upgrade or replace anything in it.



If you're looking for a laptop, get a MacBook Pro.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Do not buy a MAC...buy something linux based or anything that has less than a $500 Apple tax.

Answer 6

depends. I have a macbook pro and I record music with friends. It's convenient and portable, as well as super fast. I plug in my guitar and make beats. iMacs are also koool, but not portable. great for home.
