Hi All,
I am getting myself a MAC, wanted to check my current hardware will work on VDJ on a MAC.
I have a Vestax VCI-100
Western Digital External Hard Drive (FAT32)
Numark DJ:IO Sound Card.
Just wanted to check if i can expect any problems with the apple with this hardware
.
Thanks for the help, Chris

I know the soundcard will definitely work with the macbook because thats the same card im using. As far as the external hd im not sure because I had alot of issues with my seagate when I switched over to mac. I was only able to read the external hd but I couldn't write to it. But definitely a great choice with switching to Mac. Good Luck

Maybe there is no need to do this but personally, all my hard-drives i re-format over to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
If you intend on using it with another pc then dont but if you a pure mac like myself i keep everything the same, works flawlessly then. It will read Fat 32 no problem at all but i feel more comfortable with the mac side.
Also if you are new to mac, maybe you should think about planning everything in iTunes, i.e playlists etc.
thats just me anyway :)
