Aside from this badass, $850 collection of symphonic sounds to use for my orchestral video game pieces, I'd also like a new computer to run it, because I'm not sure if my 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook can handle it, even if it does have 4 Gigs of ram in it.
I'm not actually getting that for Christmas, though. I'll probably get money, and a new camera. And then I'll use all that money to go towards buying these two new things. I already have $1400 saved up. I'm looking to buy a Mac Pro powerhouse, because we have them at the Music school and GOD DAMN are they amazing. We have like every music software available on them and tons of sound libraries like East West Goliath, MOTU stuff, and MakeMusic stuff, and Spectrasonics stuff (which is GIGANTIC) and it still runs ALL those instruments in real time through Logic without even touching the CPU/RAM limits.
So yeah, what I really want is the East West Symphonic Platinum pack, and a souped up, badass
Mac Pro 8-Core.
Mark my words, I WILL have this computer ... eventually ...
After that, I'm fine. I don't really think I'll ever really want anything else ...
