I am building a new studio funded by my company so money is no obeject.
1) What is the best, top of the line, AD/DA converter and Audio I/O that is compatible with MAC G5 Panther. 2) If I am suping up my MAC with 8GB of RAM is it still necessary to buy additional DSP Cards for my VST processing? Ifo so, what is the difference between the two? Thanks in advance. |

Hey Cyan
In my opinion, the Apogee would be the way to go - for Sound Quality they have the optional Firewire 800 card that goes w/ most of their interfaces and you could get,for example, the Rosetta 800 ( 8 in / 8 out ) and add later when you need more channels - easy setup G5 + Logic 6 Pro + Rosetta = MMMmmmm....... the only reason I could see for getting the Pro-tools hardware ( using Logic as the front-end ) is the TDM plug-ins but I don't know if Digi has the PCI-X thing happening yet - maybe somebody else knows that or call Digi Have Fun w/ your G5 !!!! ......running Logic since vers. 1.0.......... |
