I'd like to know what is more important to work with audio samples (and some MIDI). I have a 1.25 G4 iMac with 512Megs of RAM. Right now, i have some problems when working with multiple tracks and fx. Sometimes the computer freezes, and i don't know what to do. Should i buy more RAM (i think 1Gig is the maximum for my machine) or should i save some money to buy a 1.8Ghz PowerMac G5 (or maybe a DP)?

A dual processor is the way to go. If your freezing up, it's usually a hardware issue...I know it is with Pro Tools. Pro Tools will freeze up if it's not playing well with the apple audio core or even the gfx card/ capture card. But, by and large...plugins and tracks are limited by your processor speed. I suggest a new machine, and 2 gigs of RAM will cover you VERY WELL for most every app.
Best Regards! |
