Music on the Mac

Do you
Podcast? Podcasting is the
sharing of a show or mix through itunes. Use your mac to share your mixes, music or radio show over
the web, so others can download it to their ipod and listen to it later.
iTunes is a
great way to listen to some online radio stations from around the
world. If you're the sort who
gets a rush out of others hearing you creations, you could consider setting
up and radio station on itunes.

Do you produce your own
music? Are you an aspiring
musician or want your own recording studio? With an understanding of most musicians needs, we
decided to produce a section dedicated to you and to help you decide on
what kit you need.
Many recording studios use
Macs to carry out the labour intensive task of recording the music. With a more Efficient PowerPC
processor, Macs are able to handle more channels than an intel based PC
running at a comparitive speed.
So what do you need to really
get up and running with digital recording?
Below are the macs we'd
recommend for the respective music recording software you'd want to run.
Please remember that these
specifications are based upon minimum processor requirements and that the
macs have been boosted with more ram and faster hard drives. If you intend to run older versions
of the respective software, these macs will handle it quite well.
