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? |

Yeah I would say that what is more important for the track count you are trying to achieve in Logic is upgrade your RAM to it's max, and just like mortalengines said Logic has a cool function that lets you use networked computers to add more processing power. I would be interested in knowing how many tracks a Quad G-5 can handle playing back in Logic. So really I would think your RAM would be more important than how many interfaces you have in this case.
