I use a G4 733 with an antique Korg 1212io as my music computer. Logic Audio is my main audio and MIDI app. I added 1gig of RAM, and the system basically rocks. I recently finished mixing a CD for a Tool/Incubus style metal band, with sessions that had as many as 36 tracks, mostly mono but some stereo. Had some problems with disc speed at the beginning, when I was just using the internal 5400rpm drive, but after adding a 2nd 7200 rpm IDE drive, had no problems, I suspect I could get quite a few more tracks now. Used Logic's internal plugins and VST effects for most of the processing other than reverb. I don't have experience with the DIGI001, but can attest to the fact that the G4 733 is an excellent computer for music. >i too have been looking into putting together a system >for the sole use of music production. for my needs, i >want to be able to cut pretty nice quality stuff and >not be growing out of my gear quickly (when i first >got into recording, i purchased a 4 track and within >the matter of months, i had already grown out of the >gear and needed something with more capabilities). >i'm also hoping to be able to use my home studio setup >as a learning tool to possibly break into a recording >job or at least the field, so i'd like to work with >industry standards and cutting edge software. > >after researching this for a while now, i've decided >to go apple instead of pc. most of my friends who do >this, use apples and it does seem to be the industry >standard for this sort of thing. i've been looking >into software/hardware packages and the digi001 seems >to be the most all inclusive, easy-to-use package (not >to mention, it runs off a light edition of pro tools). > >does anyone use the digi001? what do you know about >it? what are your recommendations to someone in my >situation trying to put a project studio together? i >am still pulling my funds together for this and i'm >willing to put the extra cash into this to make it as >good as i can (within reason). also for this kind of >setup (one where i can constantly be working on >multiple music projects), what kind of system to you >suggest? i was planning on taking the G4 route as it >has been recommended to me by several people who are >in the know. > >any and all thoughts, suggestions are welcome! >thanks, > e va n|s sa b >evanmeyers@yahoo.com > > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Yahoo!
