Hi,
I've been working for a couple of years with following setup: G4 dual 1G/1,5G RAM/2*80G HD's Logic Pro 6.3.3 bunch of pluginns I notice I run out of headroom with some of my tracks. Now I'm thinking of switching over to protools instead of getting a G5 Any recommendations/ideas much appreciated Thanks! |

Hello,
I have been producing and engineering for about 12 years and have worked with just about every system and interface out there at least once and I would suggest that you stay with your logic setup and get yourself a G5 with 4 Gig of RAM, a really nice audio interface and a nice set of monitors. Great AD/DA and nice monitors are a must if you want to get "that professional sound." If you use alot of virtual instruments and samples then the fastest computer with as much RAM as you can afford is worth every penny. I cant even begin to tell you the the increase in performace you will see with a RAM loaded dual G5. The RME fireface 800 will give you the i/o options and sound quality you are looking for at a great price. The AD/DA converters in the fireface sound better than the digi hardware. If you are bent on swithing to Pro Tools software and want to go that route I would go with Apogee hardware and an X-HD card or Benchmark converters. Long story short... stick with Logic, spend your money on great converters and monitors. |
