New IMac Day
I ordered my new IMac today... For my Pro Tools 2019..
Hopefully I got it right.. 27" Retina 5K Dispaly 3.6GHz 8 Core 9th Gen Intel Ci9 Processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz 16 GB RAM (will upgrade with 2-32's from OWC) Radeon Pro 580X w/ 8 GB og GDDR5 memory 2 TB SSD Trackpad Magic Keyboard Logic Pro X Accesories Apple Care My local Store wouldn't work with me at all. So I called 1-800-Apple Care. They were extremely helpful & knowledgeable. My Business didn't do anything as far as Discounts. But, my Military Veteran discount got me 10% off.. Expensive but at least I got 10% off.. I'm looking forward to hooking it all up!!!! My Thanks to all of you who put up with me on my other Threads while I was exploring options. Lars PS I'm keeping the MBP to run PT as a second Recording Computer. I upgraded to 16 GB RAM.. It works great as is. But will upgrade to 2TB SSD in the near future.. PPSS I'm sure I'll drive you all crazy with more questions in the future.. Thanks in advance! |

Re: New IMac Day
Sounds like a rockin' rig, Lars. What is your interface and how will you be backing things up?

Re: New IMac Day
Mistake spending all that and not upgrading to the magic keyboard with numeric keypad. Numeric keypad is a must for PT, it's a pain using it without IMO (like with macbooks).
Of course that will be a great system, no questions about it.

I plan to continue using my Presonus 16.4.2.. I purchased an Apple Thunderbolt Adapter as well to connect it.. I thought, in all my rambling so about what to get, I covered everything but no thought about the numerical Keyboard... |

Re: New IMac Day
Great interface, Lars. The numeric keyboard is invaluable for nudging with the plus/minus key. Nudging won't work with the non-numeric keys. You might want to upgrade that someday. Now how about backup?

I have multiple Glyph External Hard Drives.. Ideally I won't back up Projects on the IMac only to External Hard Drives... I've heard Raid's are good also.. |

For all you're going through buy Carbon Copy Cloner if you don't have it already and make regular clone backups of your system as it'll save you when things go south |

The CCC is the way to go & I should do that... What other External Hard Drives would you recommend for the new Set up? Thanks, |

CCC is a must for keeping things safe for when you have problems and your system takes a dump whether due to pilot error or strange forces. |

My External Hard Drives are fine & I can open Projects fine in my MBP on PT10... Projects aren't lost.. They weren't opening on my new Computer & PT2019.. |
