Titanium + Dp4 + Kontakt Or Mach 5?, G4 Titanium realistic? Options

[petvox]

Would ike to use a 1 Ghz Titanium 17".

Is it possible to run DP4 and either of these samplers at the same time?

Anyone doing it now in Panther?

I also, want to run Lounge Lizard, although not at the same time as the sampler.

When running the soft synths, I expect to record only 1- 3 tracks with no effects, or play back a stereo mix and record midi tracks for the soft synths.

How about Kompact vs. Kontakt?

Thanks for your input.

You can, although DP is known to be unfriendly with the laptops. But a few tracks shouldn't be a problem. Best is to try it out first though. in my opinion kontakt is less processor hungry than machfive (I have both). I don't know kompakt so I can't tell. The nice thing about komtakt is that you can do something very similar to keyswithching from giga sampler, so when importing giga files, this is preserved. Machfive doesn't have that although they might include it in the next few years or so... ;-). What kind of samples are you planning on using?

Not sure about which sounds, but the large sounds from Gigasampler are impressive and inviting.Is a seperate drive advisable for reading the samples, apart from an additional external audio drive?

I have one drive for the OS and some miscallenous data, One library drive, where I have all my samples and one Audio Drive for audio. Plus Two FireWire drives for backup. Don't forget to backup all your libraries and your work!
