I use a Mac PowerPC G3, 233 HHz (beige desktop) with Free ProTools version 3.4
I have been using it for years. Insturment/mic -> to small mic line mixer -> to an Audiomedia III sound card I installed in the Mac. I allocate 100,000 K of RAM memory to PT (I have 448MB of RAM total). I only ever record one track at a time. This weekend I was mixing, at least 10 tracks, playing back 8 tracks at once. It did everything I needed without any problems. I don't think I have ever needed more. All is good ... until I am forced to upgrade my System Software. Jam on! -Bullzeye |
