I recently bought a Powerbook G4 1.67 and I definitely need more CPU power so I have decided to go for a Powermac G5. I am not sure which one I should go for and I need your help. How fast is the lowest end (2.0GHz dual) G5 going to be compared to the Powerbook G4? How many more plugins, effects can I use in it? I do orchestral music too. Does anyone have any statistics?

I am working with a PC, to be specific an HP Media Center PC, with Microsoft XP, All neccecary ports, and 1 Gig or RAM, MY cpu is pretty fast, and I have yet to buy software, or any interfaces to use with my Digital Piano (Casio Privia), My Shure Mic, and my many guitars. I want to use, these insturments to record no more than 8 seperate tracks and use MIDI via my Digital Piano.

Hi I have a question.
I'm using Logic, and Pro Tools on my Mac
Both are Good

What Programs are good to use in Windows Xp ?

Logic Has unlimted # of recordable tracks, and does not require any interface to work.

Pro Tools needs a interface 002, m-box, 001 etc.

I have just got a good deal on a G4 powerbook (1.6G, 1G ram, 80G HD) which I intend to use for live multitrack recordings. The only problem is all my software is for windows.

Hey everyone. I'm considering a 002R, but I wanted to find out a few things.

Is anyone running the 002R on an iMac? Does it run nicely for you?

Does PT have a latency makeup for running outboard gear?

Ok guys. I got a few Mac gift cards for Christmas from my girlfriend's family because they are sick of hearing me bitch about my PC always being messed up.

Here is what I do on my PC:

Can reason on mac open pc reason songs?

all the best

Ok I am currently a pc man about to make that jump into the Mac realm... Due to macs steep prices I am conteplating on gettin a Mac mini.. Is it powerful enough to use for audio recording? I am looking into the most powerful mac mini for 699, 512 Ram but I would expand to 1 gig with a stick..

While this might seem like a no-brainer type of question, I wish it were that simple.

Basically, I am someone who has been a PC boy for the past 6 years and am planning to make the jump to Mac very soon.

Something strange with the new ImaC G5 & the Edirol FA-101...
Just received the new Imac 10.4.2, Garage Band ver.2.0.2(50), and PB is my FA101 is only available in Itunes, not in GB. Actually FA101 appears, but in grey and is not select-able in Garageband's prefs.
I have a message sayin "FA 101... different from 44,1. ." I tried to change sample rate, but nothing better..
