hi, i run logic on an ibook 500, with a 60 GB firewire hard disk. my audio interface is the emi 2/6, and it is working fine. but currently i am trying to master my tracks on the ibook, and found the amount of audio tracks at playback not quite enough. so, would a firewire interface, i have the motu828 in mind, enable more audio tracks and more plug-ins at play back? or is it the matter of the computer, ram, and hard disk? thank you in advance. nathanan

It's more a function of CPU and disk speed.
Also in the Apple memory control panel make sure that your disk cache is set to 256k or 512k. Otherwise your cpu will sit idle while your disk caches the default 8Mb. The high disk cache setting will cause cpu overloads in some instances. -------------------- G-Dub
