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.

dc... as soon as I seen they had PT on a PC... I would have been looking for another studio
 tdm systems are quite expensive but when you consider most of the cost is the DSP cards which handle most of the processing and when you consider that... its not that bad when you consider almost everything else is based on CPU speed with exception of TC Electronic which has a card for dsp functions but is a bit pricey too. there are many other apps that more than satisfactory for good recordings but... it you want the horsepower to run all the nice CPU intensive plugs plus mix more than 32 tracks then the tdm systems are hard to beat. I use the Digi001 and if could afford it... would love to have the tdm system so I could more dsp power for plugs and not limited to 32 trackcs which taxes my system so heavily.
