Hi, I've got a cople of quetsions. I'm running Reason and nundo or cubase using audio and effects and vst instr, rewired to a reason setup. I have two macs. One is an imac g4 1ghz with 768 ram the other is a powermac g4 733mhz with 768 ram also.
My question is shoud these machine be able to do this kind of work if they have enough memory? etc. Can I upgrade my imace any more and is it worth it. Should I cut my losses and trade it in. Same goes for the powermac. Both are struggling with ths setup right now. Lots of crackles and occasional crashing whereas when i ran the same thing on a decent PC it was fine!!! Any sggestion and insider knowledge on the limitatins of these machines would be great. I don't want to keep flogging dead horses!!! Will |

Which version of Cubase is it? 5 or SX? SX is not the most efficient program. Logic on those Macs would be OK.
On the other hand, very quickly it becomes more cost-effective to upgrade one's computers. The speed/RAM/hard drive capacity/OS benefits to be had from a new machine normally outweigh the benefits of hanging on to an old machine. If you have a system that works for you, you don't need to change. If your current system is bugging you and you perceive limitations, you might do well to upgrade. |
