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. |

i was reading through the posts here and just had a question. I just purchased the new imac G5 20", with 2.1 Ghz, 512 Mb, I have had some experience of error messages when up to about 4 tracks using the software instruments with Garageband. The tips suggested all kinds of things to save on power, since the message I was getting was that I had too much going on to play the song in real time. i exhausted all the tips except mixing down to a song and then importing back to the tracks as a real instrument. Finally I did this and still had some problems. I am using the presonus Firebox, can anyone tell me if this is the normal fare for what I am using. Or is there something I can do to eliminate this problem. This might help the guy too that is wanting to get the imac g5, I kind of wished I would had gone with the PM if this is the case. (I was using some of the newer software instruments in Jam pack 4, the really great sounding orchestral instruments, steinway piano, etc.)
