Hello there macmusic people hope you had good weekend
 I was considering puchasing logic pro to use on my ibook G4 (1.2) (786 ram) OX10.3.9. I'll be recording vocals, guitar as well as using apple loops etc. - prob wont use more than 8 vocal tracks, 8 midi. Assistant at mac shop said i would have to upgrade to an intel mac, cos' my ibook wouldnt hack it with current system specs. What do you say. Im not going to be spending any more money on ram, so basically, do i wait to upgrade (which isnt happening for at least 2 years), keep plodding along with garageband, or use logic pro/express?. be interested to hear what you think thanks justnicola |

I'm using an iBook of your type to do what you want to do with no problem.
I'm running DP4.6 in 10.3.9 and get 8 mono tracks and many MIDI tracks with a modest plug-in load using only the internal drive. an external drive ups my track count past the point i've ever needed. Max out the ram, and set the buffers high. cheers. |
