Chris_Johnson Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Is the Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon compatible with the most updated version of Logic Pro out of the box? I plan to begin my Logic Pro journey tomorrow with the ordering of a dual / dual 2.66 with 2 GIG of Ram and Logic Pro 7.2 I am currently a longtime Digital Performer and ProTools user with little Logic experience. I figured that it was finally time to jump in with both feet. Can anyone reccomend inexpensive audio and midi interfaces (MOTU perhaps) ? I was considering the MOTU 2408 MKIII with the PCIe-424 card (to get to my adat bridge on my ProTools Mix3 running on a G4) Was also considering the MOTU MIDI Express XT MIDI Interface I currently have (3) MAC g4 Duals and an old iMac running Digital Performer with original 2408, ProTools Mix3 with (2) 888/24's and (2) ADAT Bridge's. I have dual boot drives in one machine to jump between OS9 and OS X. I also have Stylus RMX and Reason 3.0 I plan to switch completely to Logic for all composition, sequencing and keybaord and sample based production. I am currently ditching the keyboards (the prohet 5 and JP-8000 went this week) I plan to dump the MPC2000XL, Korgs, Roland XV5080 and the rest as soon as I am up to speed on Logic. I plan to continue use my ProTools Mix system as my main recorder for the time being. Comments? Opinions? Am I nuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Sounds to me like a great beginning. Logic Pro 7.2 was the Intel crossgrade so there's no reason it shouldn't work on the Mac Pro, which ships with 10.4.6. Obviously, the Mac Pro is a new product, and as with a few of them, the very first batch has the occasional trouble here and there: cosmetic, or minor problem. That's the price to pay to be the first to own probably one of the greatest mac ever built. It looks really exciting to me. The ability to have 4 drives inside alone is enticing.

Matchless Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 It looks really exciting to me. The ability to have 4 drives inside alone is enticing. So with this, does the old adage about keeping your audio files to an external drive go out the window? In concept can you now have one 500-750G drive dedicated to your recorded audio files, another to all your sound libraries? One to just software apps etc...?
