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? |

Well, all I'm going to be recording is vocals and acoustic guitars and so...and I'm going to get Focusrite Liquid Channel for pre...so there isn't any need for those in the sound card. And I won't be recording many instruments at time...so maybe like 8 channels in 8 out...Everything in the mixing department is going to happen in Logic Pro with plugins etc...
I would like the sound quality to be very top end...but is Pro tools then the only solution? I really wouldn't want to spend more than 4000-5000$ on the sound cards at the moment... for Lepetitmartien.. Now RME, MOTU, Presonus do their job nicely. As do more higher end interfaces… [COLOR=blue] What would in your mind be higher end interfaces? Apogee?..I think that would go on the same price range as Pro tools... The things I'm lookin for is the large track count with sound quality 24bit/96 kHz....like near 100 tracks...and low latencies...other wise good quality...it doesn't have to be pci per say...or does it? |
