The iMac setup

Published by Paul under Macs

You guys had better appreciate how much tidying up I had to do to take these photos…

Here’s the iMac in position. As you can see, Logic Pro handily makes use of the screen real estate. It’s really nice to be able to see all the windows I need without moving them about.

Here’s the PowerBook, feeling rather jealous and inferior. It’s on top of the Traveler (which is being driven by the iMac into the monitor speakers - one of which can be seen here). Hiding in the back is the new LaCie firewire drive, which holds my recordings and a few games.

I bought this USB hub/media reader to handle all the extra gear that I’m using. It will also read cards from Crumpet’s camera and the Canon 30D I plan to buy later this year.

And look! A ‘free’ printer that came with the Apple protection plan! I only got it because it’s a scanner as well. :)

Logic Pro

Published by Paul under Music

On Monday I decided to upgrade Logic Express to Logic Pro. I had to do something, as the new iMac has an Intel chip, meaning that it won’t work with my PPC copy of Logic Express. I could either crossgrade to the Intel version of Logic Express ($75) or fork out a grand for Logic Pro and all the extra features… naturally I went for the features. Hurray for credit!

These shots are from the iMac’s built-in camera, by the way.
