I've read the many discussions in this forum, but didn't find my exact situation. I'm trying to choose software for live multi-track recording using a MOTU firewire interface. I have a 1.2GB iBook w 1GB ram, 10.3.9.
I doubt I'll ever go near midi. Just want to location record multi-tracks, then mix them down. Pro Tools file compatibility a must. CPU usage light enough to allow for recording 24 tracks of 24/96 at once on my iBook. Seems like it comes down to Digital Performer vs Logic. Opinions, thoughts, tirades? Thanks |

I doubt there's a single laptop on the planet capable of running 24 tracks of 24/96 audio simultaneously.
 Maybe 24/48, but even then you're asking a lot of the little fella. I don't know if you have an audio interface lined up yet, but it sounds to me like buying one of the MOTU interfaces (828, Traveller, etc) would suit you because then you'd also get the AudioDesk software, which is pretty much DP without the MIDI. As for file compatibility, everything opens or imports AIFF files. |
