Can you use logic express on a mac mini for recording

Can i use logic exprees on a mac mini for recording? Ive seen alot of 8,12, and 16 track recorders with a cd burner and it seems like a logical and more productive gues for me to buy a macmini for the same thing of recording and then I can uses logic express, a far better program for recording. can the mac mini handle the load of processing tracks and how much ram should I uses? thanks tim

sorry, I'd like to butt in here:
I would like to do the same thing, so I am curious about this forum and rather than starting a new one, can I get some advice on this possibility:
Mac Mini
1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
80GB Serial ATA drive
Glyph External HD 250 Gig
Mackie Onyx 1620 w/Firewire
Logic Pro 7.2
thoughts?
The most number of tracks I could see at once would be 16.
Here is something I am most curious about...
Firewire Hard drive
Firewire Interface/mixer
Firewire camera for FCP
to much firewire?
Please let me know if you have other thoughts aswell...
Shuke
thanks guys, this forum is fantastic!

  • Can you use other disk drives on mac mini rather than the superdrive?

    I have just purchased a mac mini and am exploring the various options available to me regarding disk drives?
    Are you limited to just the Mac Superdrive or can you use other makes and models?
    i read somewhere that some drives will only let you install software and not let you Burn Music or play games?
    Is that correct.

    I have three firewire burners daisy-chained to the mini for ripping my CD collection.

  • Can you install logic express on more than one computer

    can you install logic express on more than one computer ?

    Be sure to read the End User Licensing Agreement for questions of this nature. You are allowed to install Logic on two computers that you own, for example an iMac and a MacBook Pro. You cannot, however, use the two computers at the same time if they are on the same network. You can use one computer as a Logic Node to shift some of the processing load (which you would likely do with an ethernet cable) but you don't need to have a full installation of Logic on the Node  machine, just the Logic Node installation. The idea of allowing two installations is so that you might take advantage of a portable  computer in the field for on-site recording then later transfer those files to a desktop studio set up for further editing.

  • Can you use the Express as a wireless bridge?

    I need to get an ethernet connection to a slingbox next to my airport express. My airport express is currently configured as a client that connects wirelessly to my netgear router that connects to my cable modem. I can play itunes on any computer to the airport express.
    Is it possible to use that ethernet port on the AE to bridge my slingbox back to the netgear/cable modem?

    Can you use the Express as a wireless bridge?
    Yes as long as WDS is used with a compatible device.
    Is it possible to use that ethernet port on the AE to bridge my slingbox back to the netgear/cable modem?
    No. The Netgear base station is not compatible with Apple's WDS implementation.

  • I can't use my Philips monitor with Mac mini

    I can't use my Philips monitor with Mac mini, I am using a HDMI to VGA cable to connect them. But no signal on my Philips monitor.
    My Mac mini is in a good condition, it can connect with my HDTV, the BENQ monitor at my office, but I can't make it connect with my Philips monitor.
    I dun know what happen.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    The two are incompatible, HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal. You need a monitor with a HDMI port or a DVI-I port, these are both digital signals. DVI-I gives the best output.

  • Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

    Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
    I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

    No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
    The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

  • Can I use logic express with my Macbook

    I just got a macbook and i was wondering if I can use Logic express or pro on it??

    yes!
    it of coourse depends what you want to do with it - but yes!
    by all acounts logic express and pro will run very well on the new macbooks.
    I'm using pro on my old powerbook - just about manage to use it live and it's slow but useable to get ideas down onto and am using an intel imac as my main studio computer with logic pro 7.2.3 - it's essentially the same as a macbook except it doesn't have integrated graphics and it has a faster hard disk which does make a difference. Apart from that i'm sure your new macbook would toast my powerbook in terms of performance.
    Be sure to get the intel version of logic (7.2 and above) as an older "ppc" version may run but is not supported and would probably run very slowly.
    Enjoy!

  • Can you use apple tv on 2009 mac

    can you use apple tv on a 2009 mac . I have Mac OS X (10.7.5 running

    Yes but it will probably be too old for Airplay mirroring of the Mac's display but should work fine for sharing photos from iPhoto/Aperture or playing compatibl media from your local iTunes library with iTunes running.
    For many features AppleTv does not need a computer at all.

  • Can I use a MacBook like a Mac Mini? How would I power it on?

    Is it possible to use a MacBook like a Mac Mini when I'm at home, with it plugged into a monitor? I've seen pictures of people using theirs when the MacBook is closed, but how would you power it on? If it's turned off, can it be powered on with the remote? And if not, how would I turn it on without opening it? I don't much fancy leaving it in sleep mode all the time.

    Basically, you have to use sleep mode, either
    with a USB keyboard and/or mouse
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
    or with bluetooth
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1308
    You can use the Energy Saver preferences to set up schedules for automated shutdown (at night), startup (in the morning), and sleep (when idle) settings.
    If it's powered off, just open the lid and power it up, then close the lid again, or get a laptop stand and use both the built-in display and the external display at the same time in extended desktop mode, if you have the desk space.

  • Can I use install disk from my Mac mini to upgrade OS on my iMac

    I’m currently running OS X v.10.5.8 on my iMac. I’d like to update it to OS X 10.6.
    I also have a Mac mini that came with 10.6. Can I just use the install disk that came with my Mac mini to install 10.6 on my iMac?

    No you can't. The install discs came with the Mac mini are bundled to Mac minis. So when you try to install with the Mac mini install discs, you'll get an error. You have to get the Snow Leopard package for $29 which is free to install on every Mac matching the system requirements.
