Hey guys, i wanted to know if anyone of you i5 and i7 owners had a chance to compare performances between the machines, does the amount of memory, SSD drive, going from i5 to i7 make a difference?
thanks
a external FireWire drive for audio storage will work better than staying on board. However if you got the solid state drive/7400 rpm drive it would also work well. You want to keep track storage on a different drive than programs.
And 8gb of ram is sufficient but 16gb will speed up any sample based synths you might use.
To clarify: Don't record to the external drive. You may experience buffering errors. (I learned this the hard way working with ProTools -- FW800 can't write fast enough, the software gets kinked up, and produces an error).
