i'm new to recording on the computer. i have a g4 sawtooth with a 1 ghz sonnet cpu and plenty of ram (1.6). i just bought a presonus firebox and am snorkling around in Garageband, which i will either upgrade to Logic Express or Tracktion2 later. i'm wondering if i have enough machine to do several tracks without bogging down, or is it time to buy a new machine.
don't want to if i don't have to. i also have a sata drive hooked up with a pci controller card that i run all my main computer stuff on. i've thought of buying another sata drive and running only the music on it. to do this would i need to install OS X on this drive and boot up from it, or would i just use this drive for back-up? thanks. |
