[QUOTE="dineshveliath, post: 1632823, member: 341218"] Respected Forum Members, Greetings to all. I have a chance to buy a Mac Pro 3,1 Before i get into the specs, i think a bit of background info is in order. I am primarily a 'home studio' recorder...meaning i compose, track, and mix my own music...(there are no other band members ! ) My rhythm guitar tracks are 4 in number. (100% right and left and 80% right and left) My lead guitar tracks are two in number. (center) My bass tracks are 3 in number (center DI /Dirt / Distort) Drums: Superior Drummer /Metal Foundry. The bass tracks utilize the 'Bass Amp' simulation of Logic. Guitars are recorded via Fractal Axe-Fx Standard. Hopefully i wont be using synths in future :) I use a M-Audio Fast Track Pro as my interface. The thing is, at times, especially during the mixing phase (and occasionally during tracking :shock: ), my MacBook starts throwing errors..(system overload). I was on the look out for a desk top, when i came across this deal. My understanding is that Logic 9 works better with quad core as opposed to dual core...is it correct? Anyway the Specs of the MacPro are 1) MacPro 3,1 2) 2x2.8 Ghz Xeon 3) 3GB DDR2- FB DIMM memory It has snow leopard..i do not intend to upgrade to Yosemite, nor do i intend to upgrade to Logic 10. In the opinion of the forum members, is this a good buy for my recording purposes? Thanks for taking the time to read this regards dinesh [/QUOTE]
