Emac with Mbox - anyone have this setup? recomending it to my friend -is this good?
i have a g4 with a 001,
but my friend who does not have internet access ( he just came from Europe ) saw my set up and now wants me to recomend a cheap but good set up. hows this? The Emac 700mhz 40 gig HD 512 RAM running on The M box will this do the trick? does the E mac hard drive run at 7200 rpm? if not, does it do a good job still? will he need a second hard drive, or can you get by with the one HD on the Emac? is the 700mhz Emac more powerful than my 533 G4?

if he will need a second hard drive, what is the way to go? an external one right? which one would be the best? will it give the Emac any problems doing a second "external" HD? - especially since the Mbox is already slowing things down by being USB dependent.

This is a quote from the Digi Mbox compatibility section:
"Mbox is supported on all Macintosh computers that shipped with a built in USB port." So yes it works on eMacs... |

Although, if my recent experience is typical, the compatibility docs may need to be revised soon. See "iBook, Jaguar Compatibility" post. Caveat emptor.

Re: Emac with Mbox - anyone have this setup? recomending it to my friend -is this good?
i have an emac 700 with cd writer and 256 ram.
it works perfectly with mbox. no complaints. i import projects from tdm and digi001 on it to edit the songs. that also works perfect. 24 tracks with 30+ plugins. only when bouncing the mix i get some usb warning messages. i audiosuite some plugins and connect an external firewire drive to bounce to and that worked also. i tried to record something in protools using the mbox and that was a bit tricky. i did a quick try, so i have to figure it out someday, but compared to a digi001 and tdm it was a bit annoying with latency etc. greetings, tantejo. |
