Hi all musicfans, I'd like to get some recomendations from you.
1.) I'm thinking about to built my home studio. Is the Logic pro 7 running good on Imac? or do I need to buy definatly powerMac? From beginning I was thinking about PoweBook G4, 1,67Ghz, but looks like even those are not stabille...?So what is the best choise to create a music in Logic, might use also Cubase as well.
2.)What do you think about TAPCO S8 monitors? for this setup
3.)I already got M-audio,USB Quattro interface for a two years.I was using that mostly just to play the trax from the laptop PC. Is this interface compatible to Logic and Macs well?

thank you for ou suggestions and good luck to your creations

positive vibes

If you check out the specs it seems that a really fast G4 dual processor tower with a lot of RAM (1 gig or more) would do the trick. Definitely a G5 Tower -I hear about people who use the IMac G5 but I understand that the IMacs don't run quite as well as the towers.

I run Logic Pro 7 on a G4 1gHz with 1gb of RAM. I have no probles at all. A rule I follow is 'always buy the best gear you can afford...you will grow in to it'.

Good Luck.

thanx guys for your opinions. It looks like I will go for PowerBook G4 1,67, with 2GB RAM. Anyway I stay 3 more months in US than going back home to Europe, now just little sad about not anymore discount form Apple on Logic Pro 7, which was amazing 500$ if you get powerbook or poermac...ops I missed that. I will wait, maybe offer gonna come back smile.gif.

Good luck.

This forum is GREAT and you people too !!!

Not to knock Logic, but it is quite expensive & you could get just as much mileage with Digital Performer or Cubase. What you would be giving up though is all the cool virtual gear (synths & plugs) that comes with Logic. That is where that extra 4 to 500 bucks comes from.
