NRD (KRK and Macbook Pro content)

[Goatfork]

New rig day!! It's an exciting time, haha. I've been running a huge PC rig for ages, and I loved it, but it had some flaws. Mostly, I'm pretty much nomadic, and carrying around a giant tower and screen wrapped up in blankets in the trunk of my car never had me too confident or secure in anything. Also, the production school I'm attending uses Macs exclusively, so I thought I might as well hop on board.

Here she is:

I'm still setting up Superior all my software, but so far I'm loving it.

The MBP rigs are pretty sweet, i used mine(the one im on now) untill my rack got too big to carry around and ended up getting a mac mini to compliment it with more power. this ones only got 4 gigs of ram and a dual core processor, but it had no trouble running me up to 50 or so tracks before bogging down.

But grats man, i want to hear some stuff you make on it!

^I've got some stuff on the way! I forgot to mention that I upgraded the RAM to 8gigs, and I'm mostly running Reaper with Superior+Metal Foundry, and POD Farm 2 until I get one of the HD models.

Nice! Those white KRKs sure do look sweet.

Congrats man, those KRK's are sexy. I really need proper monitors like those.

+1 for upgrading RAM in the future.

Edit: sorry noticed you already upgraded the ram to 8GB's, did you go through Apple or DIY?

I just did it myself, it was a lot cheaper and pretty simple.

I have those same monitors, they are fucking awesome for how little they are.

Yeah good call on DIY if you purchased them online, anywhere you could recommend?

Hey TheGunther is your mbp running mountain lion? If you are have you had issues with your UX2 (like crackling, disconnecting itself)? just wondering because I have the same setup but some issues.

I bought it local (currently in Seattle) at a Best Buy, it wasn't too much. Not sure if they sell them on their online store or not, but I'd check there.

Yeah, I'm running Lion. I know exactly what you're talking about. I called Line6 support and they told me there's a new driver patch, literally only a couple days old. It fixes everything like a charm, apparently that was a rampant problem.

Happy NRD! Seems like a pretty sweet setup, and those white KRKs look pretty tits.

 

[Goatfork]

Pretty tits indeed, friend.
