Apple must love me.
Monday, March 3rd, 2008After all, they just got a big chunk of my money. My “2008 Studio Improvement Plan” is in full swing, with the acquisition of Logic Studio and a new iMac (20″, 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM (soon to be maxed out to 4 GB) and 500 GB disk). This thing absolutely flies. I ran a quick speed test by doing bounces of a Logic demo project, and the iMac came in at better than 4.5x faster than my old G4…and that was with Logic only using one core! (Hopefully they’ll improve multi-core awareness in a future point update.) Here it is in all its beauty… (full unboxing series @ flickr)
Next up in the studio overhaul: a FireWire audio interface. Right now the likely option appears to be the Focusrite Saffire.
(One note about the pic: you may notice a photo sitting in front of the KRK speaker. That photo means a lot to me. You see, it’s me and my girl. Yep, that’s right, this ol’ dog finally got it right! I’ve been friends with Kari for nearly three years now and it only recently evolved into something more. It’s been almost two months now and I couldn’t be happier!)
(One more thing: no, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. I really did paint my room bright green.
