I have IMac G4 800 Flat Panel 15' Mhz and iBook 12' G4 1.0 Mhz
planning to purchase Logic 7 Pro, what to expect on theese configurations... do not have a cash for G5 yet...? My daily use is usually going to be , recording up to 8 multi tracks of 24bit audio , and mixin' it using EQ's and one high quality reverb (Space Designer) + few mastering plugins . or using few virtual instruments with few audio tracks. Is this real on my macs.... or should i forget about it and saving for G5...? thanks for your input -------------------- .:.:.:.:.:..l.e.s.s..i.s..m.o.r.e..:.:.:.:.:.

How much RAM does each have, and are you going to be recording each track individually or all at once?

Yes. Definitely realistic. As long as you're only recording 8 tracks simultaneously, it probably shouldn't be a problem on the iMac, and if the external harddisk is 7200 rpm it shouldn't be a problem on the iBook either. You probably won't have any problems running the plug-ins you're talking about either. But don't expect it to handle too many instances of the biggest Logic plug-ins too well (Sculpture, Space Designer). I usually have to freeze if using more than two or three instances of these plug-ins. -------------------- electronicmusic.dk
