I don't think they ship until February

PM Denny about how to install Ubuntu on it.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

That's a hefty rig. You do media production?

 

[Natebishop3]

Mags has finally taken a step into the Porn production industry.

When are we going to see those sex tapes with you and the Mrs?

 

[Denny Crane]

No.

Ubuntu instead of Windows. You need Apple hardware to run OSX.

 

[magnifier661]

Mainly music recording, and dabble a bit with video (nothing too elaborate).

Yeah, 11,500 with tax

 

[DaLincolnJones]

dang Mags..that is a fucking monster..

Mags wants to be the new Don Ho.

Come on Mags.... let's hear your version of "Tiny bubbles."

 

[Natebishop3]

Damn mags... you could have bought that computer from "War Games" for that kind of money.

Do you want to play Thermo Nuclear War?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Actually the $599 Mac mini would suffice for that

Hahahaha! Seriously though, the worst thing for recording is when you get stupid shit like "HD not fast enough, not enough RAM, or the app lags when multiple effects are used."

When you record in 24 bit, 26-30 tracks and multiple effects, shit really lags big time.

 

[santeesioux]

Mags could play Crysis on high on that thing.

no shit, if you're gonna rev pro-tools like that you gotta have a beastly processor at least

what kind of gear are you playing with? or is it just beep boop techno?

All live shit man. Mainly rock/alternative. I'm producing an album for my daughter. I'm also producing for a Christian album too.

 

[magnifier661]

The cool thing about Logic Pro is the virtual drummer. They have 15 different drummers that actually work really well!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

No.

LOL!

I can't even fathom that much RAM. I think I have 8 gigs right now, plus 2 gigs on my video card. I've never done any serious video editing though.

With Logic running virtual drummer, a few synths, 3 effects per track and 24 tracks take up about 40% of your ram at 16 gigs.

The best part about this computer is the 8 core because logic utilizes the virtual cores. That's what really slows shit down. Now you have 64 virtual freeways in processing

So I'm curious, and maybe you can't answer this, but is one computer with that much power better than having four computers working together?

This is way above my knowledge with computers, but I'm just curious if you can have four computers sinked?

Sinked? Why would you want to drown your computer?

 

[magnifier661]

Yeah about 800 sq ft

I don't think that really works, although protools has the HD systems; which basically adds processing to each PCI slot, basically like running up to I think 6 computers at once.

Then you don't even need much processing from your main CPU.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Does it stream itunes content in the cloud?

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

Yeah about 800 sq ft

Bigger than my apartment. Doing it up right.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

almost double mine. :MARIS61:
