I'm planning on buying a dual 1.8 GHz G5, but I can't find a ref anywhere about whether they will run Logic + soft synths etc without an additional sound card.
Do I need an additional sound card? Other than greater I/O capacity, what would an additional sound card allow me to do? If I'm doing all my processing, sequencing and recording inside the G5, is a sound card necessary (other than the increased I/O)? Cheers. |

QUOTE (otan @ Nov 26 2003, 09:56) for the moment, there's no sound card optimize for the G5 in a PCI mode. Maybe Motu is of a different opinion on this? uh? 424 core is compatible. I'm not up to date with the others but a little search here and there… Now there are options in USB and firewire aplenty… and more suited to a small number of I/Os. Be careful as some have real issues still with their drivers. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
