Hi.
I am newbie in mac world but I have made music with pc for some time. I am wondering if following laptop is suitable for my use: Powerbook G4 677 mhz 15" display Hard disk 40Gb Memory 512 mb Software I will use is Cubse with lot of VST insrtruments & effects. (I will use lot of vst samplers with large sample sets.) I also need USB or firewire audio interface (2 analog in & out, 1 digital in/out, midi in /out) Can you prefer some suitable audio interfaces? Thanks in advance and best regards, Weggio |

I'm running Cubase 5.2 under Mac OS 9 on a G4 500 PB and it runs great.
It's only getting in trouble at about 25 tracks with lots of reverb, compression and EQ. Cubase SX under OS X runs a little quirky. I don't use it, yet. What you do need though is an external firewire drive. When it comes to audiomidi interfaces, I'm very happy with my Tascam US-428. They're said to have a new, smaller one as well. |
