Hi, I've got a cople of quetsions. I'm running Reason and nundo or cubase using audio and effects and vst instr, rewired to a reason setup. I have two macs. One is an imac g4 1ghz with 768 ram the other is a powermac g4 733mhz with 768 ram also.
My question is shoud these machine be able to do this kind of work if they have enough memory? etc. Can I upgrade my imace any more and is it worth it. Should I cut my losses and trade it in. Same goes for the powermac. Both are struggling with ths setup right now. Lots of crackles and occasional crashing whereas when i ran the same thing on a decent PC it was fine!!! Any sggestion and insider knowledge on the limitatins of these machines would be great. I don't want to keep flogging dead horses!!! Will |

That seems pretty odd, because I run a G4 Desktop Tower 933mhz 1.25 ram, and a Power Book 1 gig mhz. with 715 ram, and can typically can load have many tracks and plugs per project, and for the majoity of the time is rock solid. I am contemplating upgrading, but almost hate to, when my systems are so consistent. I run he latest version of SX3, Ablelton, & Reason. I know I will reach a point where I will not have choice, but as long as things are stable, i am not jumping just yet.
On the other hand, if you are having major glitches, hiccups, and inconsistency in your in systems software/hardware, I would suggest that you go ahead and upgrade your system. Allen Portman Houston, Texas |
