I have never used logic - but i do like pro tools le - it's very solid - and it's great for audio
I run os 10.3 on a Powerbook 667 with 768mb ram - the track count is not mind blowing but it's fine for what i normally do. It hooks up to Reason fantastically via ReWire. I run it off the internal HD (not recommended by digi) - i changed this to a Hitachi 60gb 7200 rpm internal BTW. i don't see the usb bus being an issue - it's a stereo device - we are not talkin 16 tracks - ok if there was a choice but otherwise identical of course i would choose firewire - but it works for me. Digi have realeased a new core audio driver (multi client) so we will have to see if this sorts this problem out. MacIDOL.com |
