"Hi Phillip, I know what you mean about the GPUs. I got a custom build with the smallest D300s but with a 6-core CPU.
I have been using VEP 5 too but I'd like to see how much I can get running on one machine before hooking it up to my oMP.
An added…"

"I like the basic idea of the nMac Pro, it's just paying a $1000 for dual GPUs that as yet don't do anything for audio work. If you're also working with video then it makes more sense. Apple talked about OpenGL at the last WWDC but so far it's just…"
"Wouldn't it be better to just upgrade your computer? With a keyboard you'll be paying for a lot more than the sounds and you'll have less flexibility.
If you mean to take your sounds on the road then a keyboard would be better although most people…"

"I hear ya Ray!
As the years go by these gizmos give us better sound and production quality but do nothing to improve our composition skills.
Still, I've waited so long for an upgrade and it's such a beautiful object, I felt like I should mark the…"

"You can stick some extra in quite cheaply now.

"Hey David,
You want to get more ram into that iMac, the more the merrier! David Hitchcock said:

"That's what I figured Jenny. It's very easy to be wowed and overwhelmed by reading about huge rigs of Hollywood pros.
There is so much to learn that it really is better to start simple. There is nothing worse than having loads of stuff that you only…"

"I wouldn't argue with your points in principal. However, an 8 or 12 core refurbed MP with lots of RAM and a few large internal HDDs will still cost several thousands of dollars. Personally I'd never buy such a machine from ebay!
I have been in need…"

"Yes, I'm sure that will be fine. The external doesn't have to be SSD, it could be an ordinary HDD provided it's at least 7200 RPM. Some are 5400 RPM which is too slow for audio work but Ok just to archive/backup to.

"There are a bewildering variety of options even for the more experienced and I am always seeking advice when adding a new piece of kit.
The old Mac Pros such as the refurbed one you mentioned come with 4 internal bays to hold HDs while the new MP…"

"Why don't we just rename Christmas -The Silly Season. It seems to be that around here! :)"
"I notice you used the term "under some conditions". Are you then implying that Ray might have a condition? I'm offended on his behalf! Fredrick zinos said:

"I think the iMac with lot's of ram would be fine for your needs and will last you many years. Get an external HD or SSD for your sample libs, switch it on and you'll be off and running in no time. :)

"In England we say someone's been "reading the Daily Mail", a national paper which likes to propagate the fallacy that some people are 'offended' by Christmas and that some local authorities want to ban it. When the facts in their stories are…"
