Metro - Best Hardware Setup? Options

[andrewk4]

Thanks to all who recommended metro so highly. Ive checked out the demo and Im impressed. Goodbye to cubase and StudioVisionPro.

My first priority is to make use of my Audiomedia 3 pci sound card that has been sitting around since I went to an imac and did midi only.Im ready to upgrade my hardware.

Im considering a g4 400 tower and maybe putting in a decent second HD. Will this setup work well with metro? I dont know much about ASIO drivers. I aslo run a Roland sound canvas and midiman 1x1 usb interface.

Next question, should I stick with os9 or should I run osx with this speed processor? I only use 3-4 tracks of audio, as I mainly use midi for composing.

If I only do basic audio, does this mean the cheaper metro se will work fine for me on both os9 and osx?

TIA.

With the limitations of Metro Se, either OS 9 or X will work with no noticable difference. If you were going for the full version, I would sugest going to OS X. I use the full version of Metro (G4 edition) on a G5 tower running Panther with no issues. They keep the program updated very nicely, and fix any bugs that come along rapidly. If you go OS X be aware that your midiman drivers won't work all that well. Fortunatly Metro has a work around for that. There sould be no problems using sound canvas with Metro.
