Finally have something of a studio coming together (mainly been a laptop and headphones producer). Running FL Studio on this old desktop mac my parents had in a closet that I didn't know they had until today. |

It's a minimal set up, but I am actually producing wait for it......melodic/vocal EDM.
I have had an issue with FL Studio skipping (created a thread about looking for a good laptop to produce on), and when I had the opportunity to have this hand me down (in decent shape), I assumed it was going to be really fast since I have seen a lot of producers use macs (even back when this one came out). However, my dad told me that since it was like 5 years old it wouldn't be any faster then the current 4 year old laptop I have. I find that kind of hard to believe.
The basic production I have done so far hasn't skipped. But I haven't really tested it with a lot of channels/vst's yet. Although, it looks like it isn't currently possible to run sylenth on FL Studio on a mac so it may not be as much of an issue anyway. I think Nexus will run though and I don't remember if that slows it down a lot or not. |

If you want to breath life in to that Mac, then make sure you add a Samsung SSD.
about 18months ago it was just starting to show signs of slowing down, so i put a Sammy 830 in there with an ICY dock (you need a drivebay converter) and I still have no intention of upgrading any time soon.
It will make a massive difference to your trusty imac and will probably only cost you $100. Bear in mind the Sata 2 buss is only capable of 3gbs as the negotiated link speed so there's no point getting the latest and greatest sata 3 SSD drive.
let me know if you need any help/tips doing it? |

Thanks for the tip! So far it is running well, but may get that in the future. |

Yeah, I think there needs to be a limit of, like, no more than $/€100K worth of gear per post. :eyespop: |

Or, create a tax where every picture you post of said gear incurs a 10% fee, made payable to nice guys over 40. |

For s sake Raphie, that's very serious upgrades.
The AD2015 is one of my favourites of all time. True class A circuitry and the thing is so damn quiet, even when you gain the out of it.
How do you like the HM2 comp? |
