Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hey,

       About a year ago I found I was maxing-out my dual G4 pretty frequently with my Logic sessions.   Had to beg, borrow, steal, cuss and freeze (tracks) to get them to work.

       I opted for a mac pro, quad core, off of eBay (but local, to avoid shipping).    I didn't get a lot of RAM in the purchase, but I've been adding that little by little.  

       There's room for cards to be installed in the back, which I'm sure can be a solution for your three monitors (that would be cool!!).   

        I mainly wanted to sound in on the sound card issue.   It seems to depend on how many tracks you want to record at the same time.  Or .. if you need surround sound output or something specific like that.   

        I have been happy with my MOTU 8-Pre, the 8 inputs give me enough to record a drum kit.   Or I can use the optical out to connect with a digital mixer or another 8-pre, etc.   and get more inputs that way.   

        But like I said, the sound card solution depends on the needs of your work.

        Keep us posted.

          Pete
