[MPA] Sound Studio Advice Needed

[Richard Edwards]

Hiya folks.....

I'm in the process of setting up a Sound Studio [in London]  from 
scratch and as a long time user of Mac would like it to be Mac based. 
The purposes of the Studio are to build a sound fx library, make some 
music :) live and synthetic and mixed and to dub voices to Film as 
well as add FX to film,we plan a voice booth, a small live area for 
up to 7 musicians with a drum area, two mixing suites and some 
storage. But we don't know a lot about what to put in the space :)

A colleague has proposed a PC based system [ I won't be doing that 
:)] but he also raised the issue of whether the Mac we choose may be 
noisy ? CAn anyone help me with the some advice on how to keep down 
noise and is the Mac especially noisy ?

Can anyone recommend what Mac to go with [Box G5 ? new cool G5?] and 
what the a 'dream' set up might be - eg Pro Tools, Logic Audio etc ?

While wanting to be wise and economical we are not constrained by any 
budget limitations which makes a big change ....

I'll be glad to supply any more info required and biGGG  biGG txs in 
advance for any suggestions

Richard
