I am from Brazil, new to Mac, and need help with config specs, plus producing music.


please, read care, important, person wants learn , needs help.

introducing myself:

hi, name rodrigo,

brazil, , english not good, since learned myself. (or @ least tried)
so, sorry language mistakes.

29 years old.
have bachelor's degree @ computer cience, , worked life windows , linux os.

love music mutch , have been playing classic guitar since 9 years old.

aways wanted learn how produce music using computer. but...

here in brazil, tecnology is expensive in comparasion other countries usa , uk, because our goverment taxes high, imported equipment. (more 60% of product value in taxes).

indeed can have life condition in comparasion brazilian standards population.

actual pc have following specs:

motherboard: asus m487td/usb3
processor: phenom ii x6 1090t black edition
memory: 4gb ddr3 1600mhz corsair xms3 kit
graphic card: xfx ati radeon 6870
hard disk: seagate barracuda, 1tb, sata ii, 32mb buffer
case: coolermaster haf 932
psu: thermaltake toughpower xt775-w
display: samsung syncmaster t220m

well... since wanted start learning produce music, bought macbook pro 13-inch model. (2011 version)

specs:
processor: 2.4ghz dual-core intel core i5 processor 3mb shared l3 cache
memory: 4gb (two 2gb so-dimms) of 1333mhz ddr3 memory; 2 so-dimm slots support 8gb
graphic card: intel hd graphics 3000 384mb of ddr3 sdram shared main memory
hard disk: 500gb - 5400-rpm serial ata hard drive
display: 13-inch led, native resolution 1280 800

i know not amazing hardware spec, considered following when buying it.

1- have pc general purposes
2- never used mac, first time experience , learning purposes seens ok me (wrong?)
3- small, , can carry inside bag comfortably, since work @ public places coffee shops
4- macbooks expensive here in brazil. of people here can't buy one, give idea, bought macbook pro(new) r$ 3.600,00 (my current country currency). if convert u$ dollars, paid u$ 1.900,00. (expensive?).

want learn produce music using mac os.

since new this, considered start using garageband. yesterday, started mess gb , after few minutes, lost myself on time, felt extreme feeling of happiness , euphory beeing able express music feelings.

after few hours on first experience using gb, made http://soundcloud.com/rodrigo-morelli/learning

next step after learning more garageband buy logic pro 9, , start course.

worries me if macbook pro 13-inch able run logic pro 9, , if so, if helps connect 22' lcd display when producing @ home.

aren't locked using logic, , there @ least 1 other program out there think far better -- "cubase". "full version" of cubase expensive, don't need it. instead, i'd recommend "cubase essentials". interfaces come bundled "cubasele" works fine, (that's use).

need audio interface if don't have 1 yet. there time when having firewire interface best way go, i've found firewire has become difficult , unpredictable on own macbook pro. i'd suggest 1 of newer usb2 interfaces if you're primary needs recording classical guitar.

, choose microphones -- easy waste money on wrong ones!
