Adequacy of the 21.5” iMac for PT11.3
Hi there,
A few questions about the adequacy of the 21.5” iMac for PT11.3. I’m doing home recording. At the moment, I’m recording up to three tracks consecutively, but want to be able to run eight. My current Asus G73J is dying and PT11 is not stable with my Scarlett 18i20 interface on W7 (I get -6001 errors moving between session of different sample rates and therefore have to use PT 10). So, it’s time for a change, and maybe it should be to a Mac. I see that the Pro Tools compatibility guide includes 21.5" iMac http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...pple-Computers All, good, but I’ve got two questions: The 21.5” iMac has a hard drive speed of 5400 rpm. Is that fast enough? As mentioned, currently I’ve got a Scarlett 18i20 interface, so it’s UBS2. While thunderbolt is available on the iMac and is preferable, the USB connectivity suggests I can run the 18i20 interface with the 21.5” iMac. Is that going to be okay? Cheers, Matthew. |
