Yup, this is correct. You say a G4.. the only one worth getting unless you really know what you are doing ( no offense ) is the latest G4 Powermac.. dual G4 1.25 ghz with 2 gigs of RAM.

help!

so then how do i get the programs on there and how do studios get them on there

:shock:

The same way you got your Sonar etc etc. .. buying the stuff .. installing it.. you know...

Depending on what you wanna do.. you can look into Cubase, Logic, Metro, Ableton Live, Digital Perfomer.. and other apps..

You should also check out the most excellent UAD-1 DSP card...

Why not a G5?

Just guessing, but he might be aiming for some entry level stuff. You can get a lot out of G4s, but of course a G5 can serve you better depending on what want to do. Personally I am using G5s for most stuff, but I am still on various G4s when I make music.

Anyway, http:// is a good advice.
The best reason for going PM G4 right now is if you are kinda forced to still work on big projects using OS9 software. A turbocharged G4 dual 1.25 using say Cubase 5 VST 32 does have a lot of punch. I am not sure a novice on the Apple platform should be getting a G4. Anyway, before investing in new Apple gear I would recommend waiting approx 10 days.. especially if I was looking for a secondhand G4 dual 1.25.

Also get a dual processor G4- minimum dual 867 to do any serious tracking

thanks guys

What kinda stuff are you going to use it for? Virtual instruments..?
What kind of music ? You are aware that Apple just might issue a low end G4 1.25 at 499USD or 699USD next week?
