Question for Mac musicians
If I was going to buy MacBook just for recording music with garageband or logic, what are the minimum processor and RAM requirements I would I need? Lifetime of the machine I imagine recording, mixing, mastering and storing at least 25 multi-track songs on it. Thanks.

1. 2 gigs should do it, but a fast HD is even more important. n/t

3. Not familiar with it.
I was thinking about purchasing an Edirol firewire interface a year ago, but I haven't had the time to research recording eqiupment lately... too busy in school.

4. Do you still need help with a website?
I could help you out if you still need it. Just realize that I have other projects and can't tweak every little thing to make it perfect for you. But I could bang out something in a few days that is better than nothing..
