Hello,
I canot get a Power Mac G5 dual, but I can buy an Imac G5, but, is it good for compose with virtual instruments? Has it the sufficient power?. Other question, I will not recording, only works with virtual instruments: will an audio interface give me more power in a mix situation in my computer? In other words: I dont know if an audio interface like Mbox or Tascam us 122 or Motu 828mkII will help me to get more power to run plugins, mix, etc with an imac g5 running dp 4 or logic express. Thanks, sorry for my english and wait yours comments. |

An Imac G5 with 1Ghz of ram is doing me fine. I run protools and other programs, And have no problem running big seesions with many edits and 10 + plugins.
An audio interface will not give you anymore computer power, but will give you better audio quality IN and OUT. hope this helps. Note: it pays to make sure your computer is running smooth and uncluttered when running pro audio applications. things like active virus software and background apps and configs can be set so they wont slow your main apps down. |
