Re: Show us your workstations

My first ever Apple computer.... The 27" i7 Imac.
I had to save up for ages but it has been worth it.

Re: Show us your workstations

wow, the graphic on the second image looks awesome. I'm looking to get a new imac but wish there was a 24 inch version as for me the 27 inch is a bit too large. How do you find yours?

Re: Show us your workstations

It looks massive at first but then you get used to it really quickly and you also think how great it is to have so much more sace on the desktop. Especially useful if you have programs with a million different windows or that need a lot of room.
I downloaded a few full HD performance demos from http://www.demo-world.eu/ and it plays them no problem.

There is the 21" version but I would truly reccomend the 27" version, especially for movies too.

Re: Show us your workstations

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Yeh I tend to work with alot of applications/windows open at the same time and I guess it would be a good alternative to having dual screens as well.

Re: Show us your workstations

The imac has replaced my awful big 19" CRT so it makes the room a lot bigger too.
It was expensive and I'm now poor and got no money left but I think it just is an amazing machine with an awesome screen.
Im using it for music production and so far it is working very well. HD videos are very good on it too.

Did you get an external audio interface by any chance?

Currently decorating at the moment my den is in complete disarray. The music area is very cramped at the moment even though there's only a limited amount of equipment left setup (everything else is de-racked/standing against the wall in flight cases). Waiting for some custom furniture to be delivered: multi keyboard rack with monitor brackets, tft screen arm and laptop shelf.

There is a computer in there somewhere

Re: Show us your workstations

I havent as yet no. I cant afford one at the moment. The Apogee Duet looks quite nice but too expensive.

Am going to have to contact Apple tommorow. It buzzes when I put it to sleep. Argh!

The AD/DA circuitry in the Apogee stuff is among the best in class though, having said that I don't think the Duet is a particularly robust or functionally well laid out in terms of how the input placement can introduce undue stress on the connections if you're not careful (aesthetics over function are of no use to the gigging musician)

however Presonus Inspire 1394 is under £150 and an excellent bit of kit, well worthy of plugging into your mac.
