Giga Converting
2003-04-26 by simon james
I have a 1 gig powerbook with 768 Mb ram and looking for a really good piano. I've been looking at the Giga stuff and see a 5 gig piano and the Bosendorfer (hope I spelled that right). I have no idea as to what is a realistic piano to get. Am I biting off more than I can chew with a 5 gig piano? Does it still stream off the hard drive? Do I need a wack 'o ram? Will that limit what other instruments I can use? Should I just go with a 1-2 gig piano? Obviously the more layers are sampled the better the piano sound but I don't want to overkill sending sparks flying from my computer. any thoughts on cool pianos for my setup? thx, Simon
