I'm planning on buying a dual 1.8 GHz G5, but I can't find a ref anywhere about whether they will run Logic + soft synths etc without an additional sound card.
Do I need an additional sound card? Other than greater I/O capacity, what would an additional sound card allow me to do? If I'm doing all my processing, sequencing and recording inside the G5, is a sound card necessary (other than the increased I/O)? Cheers.

I don't know about VST songs and Logic, but ReWire works fine for me. It's MUCH easier to set up in Cubase SX, but once you get your head round the Logic way of doing it, it's OK.
Saying that, I really get the impression that Emagic would be quite happy if ReWire upped and died. They didn't really bother about it until Logic 6, even though everyone wanted it in 5 and Propellerheads did their side of the deal. It's not Emagic technology, I suppose, and to me they always seem a bit sniffy about things they didn't invent. But I digress. Yes, ReWire works in Logic Platinum 6.2.3, according to one user's real-life experience. And you're right about Cubase support for Macs. |
