i know that protools is the industry standard for recording but , i wonder this. Its really just a computer, so why would i not be better of with the fastest G5 that is available and MOTU DP4 and apogee converters, which are better to begin with. The cost difference would be tremendous, and will i really be able to slow down the G5. iM only recording audio, very little MIDI . I want to hear both sides of this if possible, real reasons.

the only way you will slow a G5 down is dependent on how many plugins you use in a session for either app really. If you like to use plugins for sound shaping and manipulation... its easy to tax a CPU especially with reverbs. Being its a G5... it will probably handle most anything you throw at it but could still put a strain on it with too many plugs and automation use.
PT or DP?... well that is just more preference than anything. You may be able to create just as good recording from one to another really but it boils down to money, will you share sessions with big studio, and what do you prefer to use. If you plan to share work with a big studio... PT will most likely be used so its better choice but otherwise... just go with what you can afford. -------------------- ----------------------------------------
