Guys,
I'm thinking about buying a mac for studio use and also need something that's portable that I can take anywhere and work on it. I need to run the entire studio on there sequencers, soft synths, audio midi interface, plug ins run mics, mastering. I'm thinking about using Reason, Cubase SX...Please advice which is a best option for me, Desktop or Laptop. I really want to get a laptop but I need to know if the laptop will be versatile enough to add additional external hardware to it. |

QUOTE (ruby @ Oct 18 2004, 15:14) Would the imac G5 be able to handle multiple virtual instruments? Indeed it can- as can most G4's. I currently get 16 or so vsti's out of a 15" powerbook- depending on the complexity of the synths. Additionally around 24 audio tracks with minimal processing. Very much in favour of Logic as a front end on a portable as freeze function and distributed audio processing is a bit plus. My desktop system is a HD rig and if you are recording live instruments there is little to compare to it- zero latency (aside from the converters) is just fking lovely. I dislike recording live struments on a native system- especially when I am the musician. Hope this helps. JR -------------------- |
