After seeing and hearing tech news from a few different sources, I had an idea for a pretty cool, powerful and affordable Mac computer for your DAW that would be quite a performer, or so I postulate.

First the base computer.

mac mini An Interesting Idea For A Powerhouse (Yet Affordable) Mac DAW Computer?The Mac Mini 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo: $599.00

This is the entry level dual-processor Mac Mini, but I think it’s more than enough (with a few choice upgrades) to do what we want with any modern DAW. I don’t think there’s enough return on investment to spend another $200.00 to move up the Mac Mini 2.53GHz. However, if money is not that much of a consideration, apply the Big Al Rule Of Gear Acquisition, “You’ll rarely be disappointed when you buy the best.”

Next, the upgrades.

Additional 2 Gigs of RAM from MacSales.com (OWC): $57.99

Now, here’s the kicker that I think makes this REALLY go over the top…

extreme SSD An Interesting Idea For A Powerhouse (Yet Affordable) Mac DAW Computer?OWC Mercury Extreme Enterprise Class SSD 100GB SATA 3.0GB/s Solid-State Drive – 100 Gigs: $399.99

This is a solid state drive that is offered in the 2.5″ form factor that slides right into the Mini, and it’s a DOOZY of a performer.

As you may know, solid state drives are pure silicon, no moving parts (no noise either). And, because of that, they’re FAST (over 260MB/s)!

Just for giggles, let’s add an external Firewire 800 solid state drive for recording and mixing our tracks.

OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro mini 50GB Enterprise Class SSD – 50 Gigs: $299.00

HP W2338H 23 Inch Widescreen Monitor An Interesting Idea For A Powerhouse (Yet Affordable) Mac DAW Computer?This drive doesn’t need to be so large as we’ll only being working on current projects on it. We’ll save currently inactive projects to a less expensive USB external drive.

How about a really cool monitor that gives you a nice loooong timeline to work with in your edit window?

HP W2338H 23-Inch Widescreen Monitor: $229.98

Imagine how little space this entire setup would take, and how little noise it would produce. icon smile An Interesting Idea For A Powerhouse (Yet Affordable) Mac DAW Computer?

So, what’s our total?

The Mac Mini 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo:     $599.00
Additional 2 Gigs of RAM: $57.99
100 Gig Internal SSD: $399.99
50 Gig External SSD: $299.99
23″ HP Widescreen Monitor: $229.98
 
TOTAL:     $1,586.95

Not bad for a SCREAMIN’ MEEMEE of a little machine with a nice big monitor!

Of course, the 100 Gig internal SSD isn’t necessary. If you’re recording to an external drive (like you always should), the stock 160 Gig, 5,400 RPM drive should work just fine.

You can also substitute a standard Firewire 400/800 external in place of the 50 Gig external SSD and still be fine (while saving about $180.00).

That would bring the cost of the whole standard setup down to just about $1,000.00.

But what fun would that be? icon wink An Interesting Idea For A Powerhouse (Yet Affordable) Mac DAW Computer?

This could be very interesting…

Mixbus™ is a virtual “analog console” integrated into a full-featured Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).  Mixbus “True Analog Mixing”™ provides critical mixing functions in a knob-per-function interface.  “True Analog Mixing”™ is based on Harrison’s renowned 32-Series and MR-Series console designs, plus Harrison’s proprietary digital mixing technology.  Mixbus™ enables you to record, edit, and mix a musical performance in-the-box while getting a sound that harkens back to the golden age of album recordings.

Traditional DAW mixers were designed by companies with no pedigree in music mixing, and they suffer from well-known flaws. Harrison eliminated these flaws in Mixbus by completely replacing the DAW’s internal mixing engine and applying proprietary True Analog processing. Harrison consoles are known for their great-sounding EQ, filters, dynamics, and bus summing on every track. Now Mixbus offers every engineer a real Harrison music console “in the box”. With Mixbus’s logical knob-per-function interface, the user works with the fluidity of a traditional analog recording studio while retaining the convenience of a DAW. Mixbus enables the user to record, edit, and mix a musical performance “in the box” but get a sound that harkens back to the golden age of album recordings.

Mixbus Features:

  • Straightforward “knob per function” mixer layout based on Harrison’s renowned 32-series and MR-series music consoles.
  • Precision DSP algorithms for EQ, Filter, Compression, Analog Tape Saturation, and Summing based on Harrison’s world-renowned large format analog and digital mixing consoles.
  • Unlimited stereo or mono input channels (based on available CPU power) featuring High-pass Filter, EQ, Compression, and 4 Mix Bus sends on every channel.
  • 4 Stereo Mix Buses (can be used for groups or auxes) featuring Tone controls, Compression, Sidechaining, and Analog Tape Saturation.
  • Stereo Master Bus that features Tone controls, Analog Tape Saturation, K-meter, and Limiting to help you make polished mixes.
  • Plugin delay compensation to support effects such as parallel compression.
  • Comprehensive “at-a-glance” metering with peak, peak hold, and compressor gain reduction visible on every track and bus.
  • Extensive DAW features via the Ardour Digital Audio Workstation.
  • Supports AudioUnit plugins and any CoreAudio interface.
