The iMac is a super efficient, fully functional digital audio workstation capable of recording, editing and manipulating audio and MIDI files as efficiently as any computer currently available.

They are used by amateurs and professionals, onstage and in the studio to record vocals, acoustic and electric instruments, apply effects, create new sounds, edit and manipulate audio and MIDI files and even process THX and 5:1 surround sound audio files and apply the finishing touches to albums before being mastered.

The iMac is also the ideal choice for browsing the web, email, instant messaging, digital audio, video and photo processing and management and even runs Office better than my Dell running Windows XP.
