Hi, I want to get a new computer for recording.
I am looking at getting an iMac, a power Mac would be nice, but they're a bit too expensive. I am thinking of getting Logic as recording software and a Focusrite Saffire LE Firewire audio interface. I heard that iMac has 2 firewire ports but uses only 1 bus, and that this could be a problem when using multiple firewire attachments. Does anyone know how much of a problem this is? Is using an iMac recommended for recording and production? Would anyone recommend against it? Thanks. |

Hi, I'm a Logic 8 user but my comment has to do with my La Cie 800fw drive. I have been struggling with a new Canon HV20 video camera. I have tried to digitize on my G5 dual 2.0 PPC to no avail using Final Cut Pro. I thought it was my software, the lack of memory (2 Gigs) but have discovered by accident, that it was the fw800 drive. Silly me, I assumed it was everything but the fastest drive I have. I hooked up my 80 gig fw 400 and digitized without a problem.
I ran drive genius 2 tests on the fw 800 and there were no issues... so.. does anyone else have similar stories? It would be nice to find out if this is a common problem. I wasted about a week looking through forums for a solution to my digitizing problem and never suspected the culprit was the drive. regards |
