Ok the problem is i have a mac pro 7 gigs of ram and its telling me that it is buffering out on me. if i turn all my plugins on and then try to editon while the song is playing its stops and bring up an error message tell me it buffered out and to turn up my hardware buffer but my buffer is all the way up.

Im getting a Mac soon and Im on the hunt for a really good program, I'm really looking into Logic, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Which would provide lower latency:

(1) Going directly into the Mac Pro's built-in optical SPDIF inputs

OR

(2) Getting a firewire interface?

I am thinking about buying an API a2d, which has AES/BEU output, as well as S/PDIF coaxial output. I am trying to figure out the best way to get the output into my Mac Pro.

I only need two channels. It would be great if I could save some money here.

so after much thought, i think i finally settled on a mac pro. Just wanted to ask a few more questions. 1) how does Cubase 4 run on the mac pro? compared to g5 and a pc of the similar quality? 2) how does firepod work on mac pro (I'm planning on upgrading that eventually) 3) i also heard something about older vst plugins not working on intel macs? Thanks for all the help.

I have a motif es8 with optional mlan16e expansion board installed (transfers audio and midi over firewire), logic pro software, Mac pro, PreSonus firebox, and JBL lsr4328 monitors.

The resaon I'm asking this is two part. 1. I'm currently running Logic 5.5.1 on PC and will soon be moving to Mac to upgrade to the latest version of logic but I want to buy a UAD-1 now to use on current projects. 2. As I have to buy the UAD-1(pci) to work in my current system, will it work also on the newest Macs? Or do you have to purchase the UAD-1e(pci express) for the new Macs.

ok the entry level mac pro is $1999 at macmall.com and the imac 24" is about the same price. Which should i go with? The advantage of the imac is that the screen is already there. The advantage of the mac pro is that it is completely upgradeble. Are there upgrades for the iMac?

I just need honest opinions of what you would do in this situation.

thanks

Hello

Can anybody tell me about the noise of the new MacPro ?
Compared to the PowerMac G5 dual 1.8 GHz is what I'm interest to know.

thenk you very much

I am still using a G4, and I am just curious if anyone is using the new Mac Pro with the intel chip. I like the G4, but I want to a new mac one for the speed (more tracks), but am a little hesitant because new components. I currently use Pro Logic and DP, may possibly use Final Cut. Would appreciate any feedback from experienced users.

cheers
