Hi there,
Is this new imac 2GHz core duo a decent system for recording? I currently have Pro Tools LE 6.1 with the MBox (1). I'm most likely going to upgrade to the FireBox or another firewire interface and with different software in the future. The digi 002 is quite expensive for a fire wire connection. I'm sure it's sweet, but the MOTO seems like a good product and it's cheaper. I don't like how Pro Tools locks you into their gear. Basically any thoughts on the new imac 2 GHZ core duo are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks, Rob This post has been edited by RobbieG: Mon 14 Aug 2006, 13:45 |

I am assuming that the Core Duo is Intel. If so, Pro Tools 7.1 upgrade is required.

Cubase SX doesn't currently come in a MacIntel version, your only option to run it is to install XP. Also it's premature the current mac version is worst performer of all the mac DAWs, from my experience you can get 40%-60% more instances of virtual instruments and effects using Logic, Digital Performer, Live or Tacktion. Unless you have a G5 class machine, G4s won't do. -------------------- G-Dub
