On a 2010 mac mini 8G ram 2.16 (I think) ghz, lots of hard drive space. High Sierra - whatever number that is.
I've been using macs since 1999 - Digital Performer for a number of years. I'm not a computer geeky guy. I'm a musician that uses the daw for laying out new material. For some reason I got hooked in to harrison and tried it out. When they offered it for $20....sold. I love the tonebar organ.
I have a couple of questions.
•Is 8G not enough? I can double it but that's the most this mac will take.
• I use garageband to lay out drum tracks. With GB you can program drums one at a time. When I'm happy with 4 bars, 8 bars, whatever I print them to a .wav file appropriately labeled and then drag them to DP. GB's tonebar organ is almost as nice as Mixbus's but it is seriously much easier to use.
• I want to use Mixbus 6's drummer because it looks, initially, like I can record one drum at a time. Open the drummer and fan it into 9 channels. I can't for the life of me figure out how to record one drum "mike" at a time. It doesn't seem to be covered in the 600+ page manual.
It won't let me record one track at a time by disarming individual tracks and then re-arming the next track.
Can somebody help me with this? I think I would like to use Mixbus from start to finish if these issues can be addressed.
Thanks in advance etc...
