| Macbook Pro performance? Hi, I'm considering purchasing one of the newly updated Macbooks which basically have the same processors and RAM capacity as the current Macbook Pros. I was wondering if anyone has any experience using Logic 8 with a Macbook Pro and what interface you are using. I am planning on using an M-Audio Firewire 410 and only really using virtual instruments along with an MPC1000 and some MIDI keyboards. |

| Macbook Pro 2.4. Logic 7 and Logic 8. Not a single hicup.

| SKIP USB I'm using an external USB drive and after turning off disk journaling, it's working OK. That said, USB isn't very good for streaming samples. I ran a benchmark test that came with a black magic HDMI capture card on my Mac Pro and the results were stunning. Let's just say that the internal drive was orders of magnitude more capable than a firewire drive which was orders of magnitude more capable than the 2 external USB drives I have. My track counts are very low right now, so the external USB is fine, but if you're streaming sample VSTi and recording/playing a large number of tracks, I'd go the external SATA or firewire approach Quote:
