Entire Mixer Native Solution On G4, replace 02R by native solution on mac Options

[djcenter]

Do you think the G4 (maybe the new ones) + audio card capable of taking a signal from i.e. a synth in
an audio input, routing it in the mixer of logic audio, where will be added
EQ & effects, and taking that processed signal to an output for realtime
monitoring ?
Of course with a low latency.

I mean real time processed signal with some plug in in logic, nothing
recorded.

I plan an entire native 24 input solution based on new G4 and RME mutliface
cards, and I hope at least 4 band EQ + 1 dynamic per audio input, like my
02R does, everything monitored without latency, in order to replace it
definively (my 02R)

Please let me know if you made such kind of tests, and if this is reasonnalbe.

best regards

Your best solution to make your a dedicated Mixing Console (read: Not a sequencer) is to purchase a Creamware audio card. While their Mac drivers aren't to die for (This may have changed with the introduction of the new SCOPE FUSION Platform drivers) it is an audio card capable of 96K I/O and handles all of the DSP on the card using STDM on SHARC DSP chips. STDM is Creamware's own version of Time -Division - Multiplexing DSP which is the method used in the Pro Tools TDM systems, but for a third of the cost, however.

Hope this helps!
