Okay, so I'm buying a mac Quad, and need some advice on how some things work...
I'm getting a Logic Pro also, and obviously need a sound card or maybe two? What I need from the computer is to be able to playback at least 100 tracks of 24bit/96kHz at the same time...I don't need that many of in/outs...the hole music making process is going to happen mainly with soft synths, plugins and so on. No need to record a symphony orchestra. The price range isn't that much of a problem, though I don't have money for Pro tools yet. So my question is, what kind of sound card/s do I need. What would be the best solution...Or is pro tools HD3 the only one that can do this? |

The very first thing you will need to find out is who is producing the newer PCI express cards for the latest model G5s. PCI and/or PCI-X is no longer supported as the architecture has changed. Many companies have just recently started announcing plans to release PCI express audio interfaces - and others yet to commit.
