Resalut ....( to all and all)
At the request of some people, I pushed further testing of the Mac mini for audio ...
As I said in my review last month (for those who did not read ...)
I have a MacMini for 2 months and I am very happy ....( after 10 years of computer music PC, Sonar, creamware ..)
I have the 1.42 model ghz/1024 DDR / dd 80go/DVD (reader) CDRW .....( 800 euros)
Logic Pro 7 + RME Fireface 800 + firewire 120GB EXT HDD ....
AND it's ball ...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, it's true, I am very very happy ......
Well, obviously, it remains a G4 and it has its limits in terms of processing time rel (especially with some pro Logic virtual instruments and EFX are very CPU intensive ...) Do not count to 4 Reverbs Space designer in a project (1 or 2 max and more ..) Forget also the Sculpture synth (well when I say forget it mean that wholesale Space Design and Sculpture take about 50 to 80% of CPU resources according to ....) usable presets, but you soon realize why Logic is recommended for bi-pro G5 and a max of RAM ..... If not for the rest, even when it's going .... in Perfs
I did some tests here are the rsultats ..
All in 24bit / 48000khz .. I still had to configure Logic Audio rglages in the window (buffer Large disk, latency is 1024 etc ...)
28 tracks recording, I have not put more on but I can save 40 or 50 tracks in order to gauge perf CPU and Disk Logic had been stated for the record ...
Read after I opened 5 TO, 1 space designer, two delays platiniumVerb 2 ... 80 to 90% CPU ...
Then I Space virtual designer (but I left the other 4 TO ...) and I did play The Ultrabeat (synthe battery of hell in passing but also very greedy ...)+ 1 88 TEU (virtual Rhodes ..) a V-station (novation..) +7 samplers EXS24 ....... 80 to 90% CPU ... but it turns nickel ...
So much for my little exprience .... And I say ... A HIGHLY PORTABLE G5 ............... Good music all and all ...... ALFRED ... (www.rastacademy.com)
