Hello everyone, i am trying to get some advice here to make a really important decision.
I am contemplating buying a new 8 core Mac Pro next week in the hopes that i will then be able to run as many rtas Virtual instruments as possible such as Omnisphere and Kontakt.
At the moment i am running a macbook pro with 4gb ram and it maxes out with say 10 VI's and plugins like eleven take up almost 10-12%cpu at an instance ...does anyone know what difference getting a new mac pro will make. I am running reaper as my VI host to get a bit more juice out of laptop
I am worried that pro tools RTAS still can only use 4gb ram and the VI's will only allow to run marginally more ? can anyone comment on their experience with Mac Pro's and Pro tools LE ?
Will i see a brand new world or should i save my £3,000.00 pounds
Please chime in ... I don't want to waste this money.
