Hey, I've recently become obsessed with production and I'm looking to buy a good setup. Here's what I'm considering:
Ableton Standard
Then either
Refurbished 21.5 inch iMac, 8gb RAM, 1tb HD, 2.7ghz Quad i5(2013) + Komplete
OR
Refurbished 13.3 Inch Macbook Air 2.2 ghz Dual Core i7(2016), 8gb RAM, 256gb Flash HD + Komplete.
OR
Refurbished 15in MacPro, 16gb RAM, 256mb Flash HD, 2.2ghz Quad i7. Not enough money for komplete.
I like stuff like Flume, Flying Lotus, Four Tet, Grimes, Panda Bear, RL Grime, What So Not, and Jamie XX. I'm not sure if the quad core is going to be needed or not. Also not sure if I'd regret getting a iMac instead of a laptop. I want to focus on production for a couple years before doing anything live, but eventually that is a desire.
Thoughts?
