    pulled the trigger..
    Mac Mini M4 Pro, upgrade to 1tb ..

    My main screen is a 44inch Samsung TV and I usually just used my imac as screen displaying my Studio Patchbay map so i can easily find what is what (72 patch points on the main patch bay with 2 aux patch bays elsewhere, plus 2 midi patch bays)

    Anyway, have an old Mac Cinema display sitting around, so will just swap the imac out for that..

    Was running a 2018 Macbook Pro, then got a 2019 Imac i7 .. but the imac was running 5400rpm drive so was a mad bottle neck for latency in audio recording.

    now with new mac mini and a 2024 Motu 828 audio interface with USB 3.. latency is going to crushed

    mad tech boner at the moment

    • its mainly for audio, but also occasionally dabble with Cinema4d so all those extra cores are going to funautoflavour
    • plus also going back the cinema display I instantly get a bunch more USB portsautoflavour
    • Put a USB SSD boot drive on that iMac and it'll run circles around the internal 5400rpm drive OS. Like a new computer.evilpeacock
    • Yeah I know, I even have the drive but kept getting quoted $350-400 to do it, and well, I just couldn’t be assedautoflavour
    • My 10 year old has been asking for a computer for a while, guess it’s her lucky dayautoflavour
    • Run it externally. It'll still make it seem like a new computer. I've done this so many times for old iMacs that I was too lazy to open up.evilpeacock
