The older Windows-based PC that we used to run on our sound side finally died lately, and as I was prioritizing needs for the rest of our budget year and checking with those in our business office, I found out we have a decent bit of funding left. Therefore, as we're getting more and more requests for projection/video playback, sound cue things, I'd like to make the jump to an Apple along with QLab and appropriate audio interface.
I'm tech savvy, but Apple-spec'ed systems are a bit out of my element. I emailed QLab for the educational pricing, so I'm good there. But I'd really like to know what folks suggest for both the Mac and audio/video interface going from it into our systems.
For a bit of background: normal community performing-arts facility attached to a public school with mid-sized venue (around 600 seating). Do traditional assortment of concerts, assemblies, musicals, pageants, outside-contracted music groups, etc. Current console is LS9-32.
