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? |

Thanks you guys...I'll be looking into the sound card choices. And what comes to that RAM update...You don't have to get them from Apple...The cheapest place I found, sells them in 2GB (a pair of 1GBs) for 149 $. And that times 4 is 596 $...So that's something I can take. Though I'm not sure if there's any point in getting 8GB, if one is to believe people telling that for example Logic can handle only 4-5GBs...anyone know if that's true?
