Depends on what you want to do and what you want to spend...

If you want to use Audio Evolution, HD-Rec, and so forth, then you will want a 1200 with 060 which is going to cost you A LOT!!!

An alternative would be to pick up a cheap Mac, register MorphOS and go that route. You can still use Audio Evolution, HD-Rec, Digit Booster and a few other apps, plus you'll have a plenty of resources to spare.

Personally I like the A600 with 030. It gives me all the power I need to run OctaMED Sound Studio. I can plug in my DSS sampler, my MIDI controller, etc. and it's all very portable and small.

Hello everybody I am new to the Amiga "scene". I have not purchased an amiga yet as there are so many models and im not sure what would best fit my needs.
My main purpose for owning an amiga is for music production, I have always loved the sound of amiga music and would love to incorporate that into some ios games i am developing.
I was lerking around several forums it seems like a 1200 would be a pretty decent choice for the price, upgradability is also a huge plus for me.

Also what are the main differences between the graphic chipsets such as aga, and do these chipsets greatly affect software compatibility?

oh and recommended software for music production would be a plus :)

(hope i put this in the right category)
