Looking to upgrade and...

[Stumpy]

I am looking to upgrade my DP3.11 to the latest and greatest.

I have a G4 733 with 768mb of ram and the stocker 40gb hard drive. I also have the M-Audio 1010lt sound card.

What do I need to be able to run, efficiently, the new Finale 2006 and the Garritan Big Band stuff as well as the newest Digital Performer?

Honestly if you want to do anything substantial with DP 4.6 and VI's, you'll need another computer, I think you'll be disappointed with the results with your current setup. I'd say a dual processor G4 is a minimum.

Hi Stumpy,

I agree and disagree with westla,

Here is my post from the DP Forum

My setup is list below. I recently completed a Alt. Rock demo for a young lady in Miami. Before I got Machfive, I used SampleTank 2XL. I was able to achieve a minimum of 8 MIDI Tracks from ST2, 16 Audio Tracks (No Plug-ins), with room to spare on the processor.

I have to admit that I getting use to the aspect of working with VI's as I LOVED using my favorite hardware synth and having control over the entire MIDI production before I commit to audio.

As I read through various article on Unicornation, I have to say that my old Powerbook is doing just fine now that I have upgraded to 10.3.9. Many users are reporting errors and problems that I just don't see on my system.

Guess I lucky for now
