| PT8 LE PPC vs. Mac Pro
Essentialy I hope to be talken out of a purchase......
I use a G5 Dual 2Ghz and just recently upgraded to Leopard/PT 8 LE. It seems that there's definitely a lack of processing power now.
I rarely go past 30 tracks or so but I really want to be get a better performance and maybe also be able to track at 96k for some projects. Tracking at Buffer size 32 is great but it only works for overdubs/small sessions before the Mac is crapping out.
How much of an improvement would a Mac Pro be? Since I still could get some cash for the G5 I think that the time for an upgrade would be now. I guess I'd need a new machine anyway soon but I wonder if it would be just a bitof an improvement or rather a huge difference?
What do you think. Does PT8 LE work satisfactory on a Mac Pro? Can you track at 96k without slugishness with reasonable sized projects?
