I am new to the board but based on the purchase I'm about to make I will probably be visiting often. I am entering the world of computer-based recording because the Roland 1680 hard disc recorder I had been using is finally crashed due to disc fragmentation beyond repair.
In my research I have zeroed in on a G5, Logic Pro 7.2, Apogee Ensemble, and a Tascam 2400 audio control surface. My questions are: Which G5 should I get? - I have as many as 60 or so single song recording progects at any one time ranging from 16 - 24 tracks of audio. In the summer I offer a Music Video camp and will occasionally produce a "simple" music video with simple editing. I've heard for anything to do with video that the quad core is 2.5 the way to go. However I would like to get away with the 2.3 dual core if it can handle simple video. To what effect does the choice of dual core 2.0, 2.3, or quad core 2.5 G5's have to do with day to day music recording? Are there any other alternatives for an audio control surface that has 24 faders than the Tascam US 2400? I feel I need this type of unit so that when I mix it will be as "old school hands on the faders" as possible. Thanks in advance! |

hahaworld, you're my latest hero. I see why you call yourself hahaworld. Got me grinnin'!
Good luck with your New Quad! Keep us informed. Both the Pros and Cons. Always liked the word: "Quad", I know it means 4, but what does it do! Is it something that will seriously improve the workload/flow? Absolutely with you about the Bluetooth. Not including Airport and Bluetooth, it hurts. Ol' Stevie "Wonder" Jobs, just rams ya! No hello, small talk, forget a kiss and bam! Over. No, he ain't gonna call you, you'll be most likely calling him, again... 1-800-BITE MY APPLE. Mac is like a good 'Dealer' Love/Hate relationship. Love the 'Quality' hate the 'Price'. But, if you want the "good stuff" you keep going back... or quit. Good luck. Congratulations. Create! Keep laughing hahaworld. |
