If you're using Logic Audio 6 with it's Freeze Tracks feature and have a lot of time to burn, you can use almost any G4 with almost any number of tracks.
But if you're working in a real world istuation where you have a deadline, your system may not be able to do full real time mixing of more than 10 tracks or maybe 20 depending on precisely what you're doing with each. If it's just MIDI it might be easier, if it's real time audio processing with virtual synths, I'd say 5-10 tracks of high quality synths. |
