Never used it, but honestly, if I was i your shoes, i would consolidate my work on the macbook for several reasons.
1) Simplicity. If everything is in one place (with the exception of backups, of course) there’s no running around going “Which Mac did i put that awesome song i just found onto? Or new x or y?” Instead of having to check to make sure both computers are in sync, all the cue points and things have transferred over, and all those small details, everything is in one place, up to date.Also, it removes the risk of some file not reading through properly after it gets moved back and forth (Personal story, I had to play at a party off my iPod Touch once because i checked the wrong box before transferring music between computers (something i’d done several times with no issue) and it wiped my entire library off my laptop)
2) Repetition breeds familiarity. When you go out gigging (which I hope you get lots of chances to do,) using one computer means you 100% know what little glitches and whatnot might pop up, and how to solve them before the crowd gets too riled about why the music stopped. I acknowledge that the iMac is faster, but why get used to that unless you’re taking it with you to every gig? Play on what you practice on.
. Oh, and could you be more specific about the “it makes me nervous” part? What exactly makes you nervous about it?
