![]() ![]() I guess it depends how much time you have to try things out.Ĭool I was looking at thr UA stuff as well. I think you can get the servers pretty cheap and Im pretty happy with mine so far. So instead of investing in more computer I will be getting more UA processing. The other thing that you may or may not be interested in, is the Universal audio interfaces have processing built in, I just bought the Duo and am pretty impressed with the sound and upgradability. I only have 8 gigs of ram but am going to upgrade once I get more serious. I even load the session so it was playing back from the SD card and it was great! I haven't done any large sessions on it but ran the Charles DYE mix it like a record session on all the drives with Protools 12 and was pretty impressed I bought it used, it has the 7200rpm drive andġ20 gig SSD and the slot for the SD card. I've got the 2011 2gig I7 quad server model andĪnd so far am pretty impressed. This is my suggestion but I am sure that someone else can suggest something better Be sure you can verify it is a quad core i7 Late 2012. etc.) The hardware is still very capable. While the Late 2012 models are a bit older as far as technology (4 USB 3.0, 1 1st gen Thunderbolt, HD4000 graphics and not the IRIS graphics built in like on your Mac Mini. If you choose this route you can purchase a Late 2012 i7 quad core at a great price and upgrade the RAM to 16GB and add two internal drives inside the Mac. The Late 2012 Mac Mini's use the 3rd Generation i5 dual core and i7 quad core while the more recent Mac Mini's only have the dual core i5 available. Why purchase an older model when you have a perfectly working newer Mac Mini? Well, the current Mac Mini models do not have the i7 quad core option. Sell your current Late 2014 Mac Mini and purchased a used or refurbished Late 2012 Mac Mini that IS an i7 quad-core. I could agree that spending 3k for a new Mac would be a great route but there are other solutions. ![]() I can't aford an SSD at the moment but these WD drives work well for OS, samples and as backup drives.Īs for the Mac Mini, I have the Late 2012 2.5ghz i5 (dual core) Mac Mini which I use regularly. I use the Western Digital Black drives at 750GB 7200rpm. ![]() To start, an SSD as an OS drive will work very well. Mac Mini will work, but youre better off to get an older model with an i7 and potentially SSD system drive and a second drive for audio.Ībsolutely NO fusion drives, green or blue drives! Not an ideal machine for what you're describing at all! i7 quad processor only, NO 5400rpm drives, min 7200rpm, more RAM, 8 with do but more is better. So I need advice PLLLEEEEAAASSSEEEE.Can an Mac Mini Work? I have the 2.6 GHz Dual Core i5 w 3MB 元 cache (Turbo boost up to 3.1 GHz), 8 GB of memory, 1TB 5400 rpm HD (Booo).do I need to get the $3K Mac Pro to continue working like I am?Īny help would be helpful.thank you in advance!!! BUT my computer/engineering buddy is saying that the Man Mini won't be able to handle a session like mine. My guy at Sweetwater suggested I get a Mac Mini because my 2008 Mac Pro won't be stable enough. I'm mixing the music along with vocals (hip-hop, R&B, Soul, etc) So I'm tripling or quadrupling harmonies and certain vocals for effect. Hello everyone! I need to (want to) upgrade to PT12 because I mix alot of large session and some of them I've used up all the tracks in PT10 so I need PT12 because it had 128 track that I can use. ![]()
