Musician needs help with mac spec

[femmydee]

hi guys i m not sure what mac pro to buy between the 3.33 6 core and 12 core spec, i m an aspiring music composer/producer and engineer, who will be using logic pro 9 with almost all of east west QL plugins, NI komplete 7 and many others. in terms of hardware i ll be using the apogee emsemble, euphonix mix and control and many things. please i need help on a really good spec for my mac pro with future consideration of using pro tools 9HD in he next 24 months.
thanks

You've pretty much hit the spot with your two choices. I would personally go with 3.33Ghz 6 core cause of the higher clock speed, and considering that Logic doesn't properly utilize all the cores, but if you do have the money for 12 cores, go for it.

I agree with Milan. you want core speed for Logic, not more cores. save a grand and buy yourself a new instrument instead 🙂
