MUSIC WORKSTATION 2011iMAC 27" LOGIC PRO STUDIO Apogee Optimized Turn-key Bundle

Description: This listing is for an Apple iMAC Hardware/Software turn-key bundle. If you want to spend less time fussing with compatibility issues and more time creating music, then please continue reading. ( On the other hand, if you like upgrading, and troubleshooting at the expense of unexpected downtime and unexpected incompatibility, then this bundle is NOT for you. If you feel like you must have the latest and (arguably perceivable) greatest, then this bundle is NOT for you. ) Please read this entire listing. I am happy to answer questions and I would even make myself available for a phone call or zoom to discuss details of this listing. This is a very specific but powerful combination with capabilities that I still haven’t completely implemented into my music. I will try to hit all the important points in this listing. I have been producing music and fine tuning this Macintosh software/hardware configuration since it came out in 2011. It has so much to offer. It’s so reliable. It’s quick and powerful, especially now that we can install SSD's. There are professional industry standard recorded songs done with setups resembling this one. I set up a half dozen machines for a start-up boutique music production school close to the time this iMAC was released. Unfortunately, the school never gained the traction the owner anticipated. I’m partnering with her to sell some machines. That’s good for you and that means this machine didn’t get much use and likely has a ton of life left in it. We did have the hard drives professionally upgraded to Mercury OWC Solid State 1TB drives a couple years ago. My machines all have the SSD’s and they are so quiet and zippy. It’s a huge bonus and worth the cost.

But in 2011, the processors got just powerful enough, and third party aligned with the MAC OS, OS X had finally reached a peak, Soft Synths became the norm Kontakt and EXS made use of RAM, the link to the HD topped out at 6G, later allowing users to upgrade to a SSD, Apogee released a more affordable version with state of the art converters that I would argue have only gotten cheapened since this inception. 2011 marks the dawn of a MIDI/Audio hybrid and loop based recording platform that meets industry standards for commercial production. I live in a smoke free, pet free home. The physical condition of the hardware is all 9 out of 10 or better. There are no issues with functionality in hardware or software. I should say, this package does a lot, and I’ve experimented with a lot. I realized that I had never even opened some of the NI or Waves apps as stand alone. This package will be shipped in an OEM Apple iMAC box with the original Styrofoam protection. Finally, it took me quite a while to put together this description. I have more to say once I find the time. As my schedule allows, I’ll add more detailed photos, etc.. I also want to do a video demo. I’m posting now in case there is another 2011 enthusiast needing no more explanation.
