Upgrading my recording computer - to what?
My rig works great for what I do, but I need a new computer. Thinking of taking advantage of the holiday pricing.
Current computer is a mid-2009 MBP 15" that my daughter used in college, and handed down to me when she got a new retina MBP. Its been dropped several times, has tweaked hinges and a slightly bent unibody. I just keep it in the studio (basement). I repaired it, upgraded OS, maxed out the RAM, and installed a SSD. Works great. I run Reaper SW mostly, I like it and have used it for years on both PC and Macs, but will also be getting PT.
DAW is a RME FF800 with a Lynx Aurora 8 for more analog I/O(8) connected to FF via ADAT (I sometimes do remote/live recording). I have a variety of external pres in a 500 chassis, API, Avedis, Neve, Purple, etc.
I have about $2k to spend. Leaning toward another mac, an iMac 21.5" w/4k display and 16Gb RAM...
