SHOW US YOUR IMACS (formerly iMacs should I bother?)

Re:

Also recommend Audacity (free, open source, cross-platform audio software for multi-track recording and editing) and Wire Tap Pro (records system or or audio input and is great for recording all tunes off Youtube and the internet – I've built up a library of obscure rarities recorded off the web and then imported them into iTunes).

I shall have a look. Thanks. In the App Store?

Re:

No – free download for Audacity at http://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/

I bought/downloaded Wire Tap from http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/ back in 2013 for about $50. I don't think it's supported on newer Mac OS like Yosemite any more but there are other similar apps out there – I might have to consider these if I upgrade the OS on my iMac.

UPDATE: have a gander at this https://staticz.com/soundsiphon/

Re:

What RAM and what size hard drive do you have?

 

[The History Man]

1tb hard drive. 2.9 ghz 16 gb of ram required. It had 8 but I figured as I’m in there......
Got a screen adhesive strip kit incoming. Lots of fitting guides. It’s a late 2012. Not decided where to get ram yet.

Re:

You've got a whopping HD with enough fast grunt too.

Crucial Memory is fairly good – we've got chips from them at work http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/memory-info just enter your make/model/year/screen size and the recommended RAM will pop up. You can find the exact specs from "about this Mac" by clicking the Apple symbol in the top left corner of the screen.
