Greetings all!
I've been a PC user for decades, and have always been curious about the mac Audio scene (since everything seems to have spawned there). In the past I had not been able to afford to buy the hardware necessary to setup a mac in my home studio, this, it seems has changed. I have recently acquired a dual G4-5ooMhz, 512Mb RAM. My ST-Audio C-2000 card will transplant into it for audio. My question is, will this system be sufficient for multtrack recording? Please excuse my ignorance, I really have no idea. Any help would be appreciated.... -Me. |

I've been running Pro Tools on a G4 466 for a few years with no problems. I've recorded sessions with better than 16 tracks and a few plug-ins.
I would upgrade to OSX so that you can take advantage of the second processor. Under OS9, the applications had to be coded differently to be able to use the second processor. Not all apps were coded to do that. Under OSX, the OS itself doles out processor duties to both processors. I would recommend dropping in another RAM chip, though. It will help your system a lot. And don't buy cheap RAM, it can cause tons of problems for your system. try RAMJET.com |
