Okay, so I'm buying a mac Quad, and need some advice on how some things work...
I'm getting a Logic Pro also, and obviously need a sound card or maybe two? What I need from the computer is to be able to playback at least 100 tracks of 24bit/96kHz at the same time...I don't need that many of in/outs...the hole music making process is going to happen mainly with soft synths, plugins and so on. No need to record a symphony orchestra. The price range isn't that much of a problem, though I don't have money for Pro tools yet. So my question is, what kind of sound card/s do I need. What would be the best solution...Or is pro tools HD3 the only one that can do this? |

Well, it'd be easier if you told us how many I/O you need now. if you want the system to be expandable etc.
Now RME, MOTU, Presonus do their job nicely. As do more higher end interfaces… -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
