Does anyone have any idea how the new imac might measure up speed and track capacity wise, using say Logic Express? Would it be a good or a bad decision to buy a g5 imac loaded up to the gills with ram and a 1.8, or a powermac g5? That's considering the fact you then have to buy display etc. with the PM.

Well, I come from a Nuendo/PC background, and for my band which has just built a studio in the country, that's how it'll stay for a variety of reasons too boring to go into. What I have already are all the externals I need - ie. mic, interface, controller, ideas etc. What I want is a mac system running Logic for my own projects where I live, raring to go first thing in the morning, be it purely audio, or video/image manipulation, that isn't going to freeze if I've got thirty plus tracks of Logic running, and a touch of reverb on each for example. What I can't seem to find is an appraisal of the imac g5 which might include a reference to such a situation. I know it's terribly vague, but I'd sooner not go all out on a pro machine if I needn't. As another tickler, I've split my ibook g4 with a patch for an external non-mirror display, what are the thoughts on whether this might be a possibility for the imac? 20" is large, but for christ's sake, why not open 'em up for two?
Cheers |
