G5 Xserve was recently released ...
http://www.apple.com/xserve/ 1U, 19in rack mount unit, with multi-platform compatibility (mac / win / unix) with a lot of power. Bascially, a very attractive proposition, especially for hi-rez recording and DVD post. From reports the unit is selling very well. (Sure, its price and features are aimed at medium to large enterprise.) http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/01/04/xs...serve/index.php For the realists: if you had one of these in yor studio, how would you - given your particular config. and work processes - make use of it? I'm very curious about how people would take advatange of its features. http://www.apple.com/xserve/specs.html For the dreamers: ...do you visualize something that is a like half-step between the Mac Mini and Xserve, an upgradable 1U media server / external processor hub that keeps older model G4s in action (i.e. rather than buying a whole new computer to get the power) and is mobile and robust enough for "out of house" production projects...? What are your thoughts? |

Hi.
Just joined this forum. I recently got a new MAC G5 Dual 2.7 after having used a G4 dual 1.42 for quite while. I was looking forward (as an old Logic user) to be able to use the node application on my G4 and use the new G5 as a main machine, but no luck. Core Audio just crashes on the G5 as soon as you try to connect to a G4 with Logic Node running. It works perfectly the other way around. That just doesn't make sense to me. Isn't the logical step to upgrade from a G4 to a G5 and then use both machines, rather then trying to sell an older still very good G4 ? Don't really understand Apples philosophy there, apart from the fact, that they force people to buy G5's. Any way - I looked at this Xgrid program and downloaded it from the website. Does anyone have experience in using this hooking up a G5 and as a grid a G4 with Logic Pro ? Or is there any other advise on how to be able to use both machines (G5 main, G4 networked) with Logc ? Thanks. Philipp |
