MCS Computer Update

Remember when we said we’d be moving away from Apple products?

Well, we just installed a power house of a PC in the Multi-Channel Suite (MCS). Same audio gear, but the computer now runs an Intel i9 13th Gen processor, 128gb of DDR5 RAM, and an Asus TI OC 4070 graphics card. SO MUCH POWER FOLKS.

Tech News: New Framework Laptop

We go through a lot of equipment in our practices and industry. I think most of us try to hold onto our gear as long as possible because it becomes such an important part of our workflow. We’re excited to upgrade, but there is integration time, environmental costs, and actual costs to upgrading equipment. The choice to upgrade should be ours, and how we upgrade should also be up to us.
