  • Not the exact answer you’re looking for, but a $500 Mac mini would be a fantastic solution. That or an entry level MacBook Air.

    I run Linux on my desktop for most things but all my music production is done on MacBooks. If you want a turn key solution, this is the way.

    Every vst, midi device and mixing console I have just works. Well worth the sub $1000 investment.

    Hell, my touring setup runs off a 8 year old MacBook Pro you could likely pick up for under $400.










  • I can second this. Been running Ersatz for about 6 months now after getting endless frustration with Disque. Currently have 7 channels configured, upwards of 2 to 3 active at any given point.

    One of the things that seems to help with not dropping streams as much is configuring it to treat your media shares as local to ersatz. I had tried mirroring my Disque setup with Plex managing the libraries via Plex Playlists and it was sloppy and dropped a lot between episodes/media.

    Anyways, +1 for Ersatz.
