I’m looking to buy a Mac that I can use to backup my phone, nothing further beside browsing the internet and backing up my phone. I’ve been using my 2019 MacBook Pro but these backups have taken up plenty of space that I’ve since purged. I’ve been looking at either Mac Pros or Mac Minis, maybe...

I’ve no idea whether this was running on a 10.5.8 or 10.6.8 setup (I’m leaning toward 10.6.8 for no better reason than when this clip was posted and how Dropbox is still showing as working), but it looks like Pro Tools 8. What I know is: to be able to view the imported multi-track breakdown of...
