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.

Thanks m' man.
While I have your attention... I'm an old skool VST user, but fancy the whole Logic thing - several reasons - the Apple/Emagic buy-out thing, Rhodes piano plugin, tastey interface... This is a massive long shot, but I have a big old back catalogue of VST song files which I'd like to avoid rebuilding in Logic - but I just don't like what I've read about Cubase support for Macs, so I'm thinking that a G5 could bring on a new era of Logic for me. Does anyone know whether Logic recognises VST song files? Also, does it "Rewire" Reason successfully? (Emagic say it does, but I'd value some real life experience.) Cheers again... |
