Hi Everybody who knows more than me, and that is EVERYBODY.

Here is my set up,

Hardware:- Mac G4 DP 1.42Ghz FW800, 2 Gb Ram, dual HD 120 Gb, MOTO 2408MkII (423?), Spirit digital 328 mixer + loads of various outboard efx.

Software:- DP 4.6 ( Just had licence transferred so can now install) OS X 10.4.9

I will have this machine for music only, no other apps to be installed.

Question is:- What can I strip the OS down to so as to free up CPU from tiresome not needed rubbish?

I am assuming that I can leave out printers, languages (except English), but can I get rid of Mail, Safari, Dashboard, screensavers and other such things and if so, How?

Also is there any thing else I can take out that is not needed to free up the CPU and memory?

Thank you in advance

Hello everyone, my first post after reading for a long time. I have at my disposal (this is not an ad for sale, I use ebay for that) the following equipment. I will list all that I have, and then get to my question. Mac G4 DP 1.42 Ghz, Mac G4 533 Mhz, Powerbook G4 Ti 1 Ghz. all with 1 GB ram. 2 x Akai DR16 Pro ( 1 with ADAT) and controller DL1500. +outboard SCSI drives, storage, Cd, DAT. 1 x Spirit Digital 328, 1 x Allen & Heath 16-8-2 (system 8 1616) + 8 Pro RR 1/4" machines (studer etc) also a lot of out board hardware efx, Auto tune,etc. A MOTU 2408 MkII with PCI card. Software, Audio Desk 1 & 2, Cubase VST Score, and to play with, Garageband 2 on my everyday G4 1 Ghz.

Now to my question, I am in my 60's and used to working with analogue equipment, I am however intrigued by the surgical editing afforded on computer based equipment, ( eyes getting a bit bad for razor blades) My biggest worry is what of the above equipment to keep and how best to put it together, I am trying to get to a minimalist stage of equipment and yet not lose the ability of multitrack. I also wish to keep a lot of outboard (like the Autotune) but digital doesn't allow for inserts after recording. Maybe I can utilise them via MIDI?

I am also worried about latency. This has been a bugbear in my committing before now to look at digital. I am assuming that I am faced with either an Akai - A&H or 328 setup or a G4-MOTU-328 rig. The latter will take up much less room ( I would like to go with Mac) and would seem to be the way forward, however I bow to the expertise of my peers on this site and hope someone can help me decide and offer advice on best possibble setup.

As to software that may be needed, then I welcome advise on that as well. I would ideally like only one piece of software so as best to avoid issues with incompatibility, which I read so much of on this site. My interests lie in demos with some friends and putting together plays ( hopefully for radio) at a future date.

If I have posted in the wrong section, then I do apolagise.

Thank you for taking the time to read this
