Live setup with DP7.24.

Post by p.pan »

Hi,

I play in a trio 2x singers and me guitar electric and accoustic.
A couple of loopings but all live.
For this moment I play with:
1. Guitar Rig4.
2. Rig Kontrol3.
3. On The macbook pro Dual core (2006)1.1

I want to update my system.
My future setup:
1. Macmini I7 2.2 (Version with firewire and thunderbolt) Didnt buy yet.
2. I have already a Apollo twin Duo.
3. I want to install MachV 3
because I want to be able to play Keyboard and looping staff (drums,percs etc...).
(I have already the version 1.2) Didnt buy yet.
4. Rig Kontrol3 Just in controler.
5. Install DP 7.24 my main daw because I want to record the concert.
6. Install Guitar rig4 (not stand alone plugin inside DP).

Let me know about it.

Thanks for your advice

With DP, the i7 is better if you have the choice. Some functions are a lot faster due the FPU processor contained in the i7 CPU.
