Dual 2.3 G5, good enough for LP8 and rewire with Abe Live ?

I have a Dual 2.3 G5 which i run with Logic Pro 7 and many plug-ins. There are only a few times when i freeze tracks and knock on wood my system runs really well.
However i wanna upgrade to Logic Pro 8 and Live 7 and don't want to upgrade my machine until i can afford a Mac Pro 8 Core.
Will my machine be able to comfortably run Log and Live rewired ?
Or should i upgrade to an intel iMac for the time being, will that b considerably faster than my G5 ?
Thanks

just make sure you have enough ram.
I'm using Reason and Live 6 with no problems.
If it's a big orch thing then I have to freeze tracks. Otherwise I'm using a 256k buffer all the time for tracking and mixing. If I start having trouble, then I'll bump up the buffer when mixing.
It's hard to believe these machines are long in the tooth, but they are.
I'm on the fence about getting a new machine, since everything is working so well now......but ymmv.
Logic 8 is tons better than Logic 7.
that's funny about guava!

  • Is (4770 3.5 i7 qouad core 8 mb cach) good enough for premier and after effect?

    Hi guys,
    am buying the new imac 27" with its maximum features: 32 GB, 1 TB ssd, NVidia gtx 780 with 4GB, but I am worried about the cpu (4770 3.5 i7 qouad core 8 mb cach) is it good enough for premier and after effect?

    Thanks John, but I've already read that page. I have just a simple question about the performance of "4 core" and "6core" if anyone had already tried both of them.

  • YES! GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME (AND THANKS!)

    I spent in line for the iPhone more than 12 hours on the iDay, and I bought 2 phones (one as a birthday gift). Of course I felt disappointed yesterday about the price drop, but I wouldn't have waited almost 70 days to get it with the discounted price.
    I enjoyed my iPhone every single day since I got it. I feel that receiving $100 of store credit is a very respectful way to deal with yesterday's disappointment at the time of the announcement.
    IT IS ENOUGH FOR ME.
    Thanks for that Steve.

    But you forget that most of us have been using the phone for more two month already!
    I am happy that the price of the iPhone went down, because more people will access to this amazing, superior technology that Apple is delivering, and more users will discover the amazing OS X and the iMacs because they will get an iPhone.
    I think the $100 credit is an incredible response to this issue. Apple decides what is the best strategy to the company, and it is recognizing the loyal customers.
    Kudos to Apple from listening!

  • Is a Pentium(R) Dual-Core processor good enough for Adobe Premiere Pro?

    is a Pentium(R) Dual-Core processor good enough for Adobe Premiere Pro?  Under system requirements, Adobe listed Intel Core Duo...not sure if this is just as good?

    Hi Brian,
    Good question. Keep in mind that these are minimum system requirements. I have not had a core 2 duo for some time, but I recall that the performance was not that good at that time, and this was CS5.5, or so. If you are going to use this machine, be sure to work at lower playback resolutions until you can afford a more powerful computer.
    Video editors typically have more powerful systems than the minimum system requirements. Check our hardware forum for details: Hardware Forum
    Thanks,

  • Will 13 in Macbook Pro with Retina 2.6 ghz be good enough for engineering student

    I'm purchasing a new macbook and not really sure which one to get. I have been thinking about getting the 13 in 2.6 ghz Macbook Pro with Retina, but will that be good enough for engineering programs such as AutoCad?

    I agree that it would be slow, but the biggest limitation is RAM. 4GB simply won't,  er, cut it.
    A similar mac with at least 8GB, and a fast external drive, would work, even if not very speedy.
    It really comes up to time, as babylonslim said.
    If you need to cut very quickly, you need a machine like he described. On the other hand, I have no doubt that my very own, very old 2010 17" MBP could do the job - it has 8GB, and I use an external drive connected through e-SATA. The GPU is not nearly as fast as present day ones, and it only has a  dual core i7 GPU. It would take longer, but it would work.

  • Is 96 kbps good enough for iTunes Match?

    I have a pretty large music collection (20,000) but in order to save space I converted it all to 96 kbps. My question is whether or not that is good enough for iTunes Match? I've seen some people who haven't had any problems with 96 kbps but Apple says that it has to be above 96 kbps. I just want to know which one it is.
    Thanks

    No. 96 Kbps songs are not supported by iTunes Match.

  • Is photoshop good enough for video editing ?.

    Hi.
    Is photoshop good enough for video editing ?.
    Thanks.

    As DSLRs and cameraphones have added the ability to produce short videos, Photoshop has added that feature in for convenience.
    This should clear up the question for you.

    Of course  it's not going to put Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro out of business.

  • Will specs on an iMac 24in 2.8ghz be good enough for video prod-Mac Newbie?

    Hi guys, I do pretty high end editing in Sony Vegas but wanted to move to Final Cut Pro and Mac workflow. I've been a life time windows user and have been thinking about taking the plunge for about a year now.
    I finally just purchased an iMac 24inch. The related specs are the standard 2.8 ghz, 2 GB ram, and ATI radeon 256 mb. It's still in the box. On my way home I kept wondering about the specs especially since I'm new to Mac. On a windows, those specs might not be that great. Will this be good enough for workflow in FCP. I'm going to upgrade the memory in the near future.
    I was concerned about the graphics card? Will I see slowness or stuttering while editing with a lot of footage, rendering, etc. Thanks so much! I want to take it out of the box so bad!

    It'll be fine for DV and HDV...footage imported from tapeless systems like P2 or XDCAM EX.
    The graphics card doesn't come into play much with editing...only certain filters really use the GFX card...otherwise it is not important.
    It is limiting in that you are only able to use Firewire drives, and since the computer only has one firewire bus, you might run into issues capturing this footage from firewire cameras...the drive and the camera will be using one firewire bus. But I haven't had too many issues with that...daisy chaining works for most of us.

  • Integrated graphics (9400M) good enough for keynote?

    I'm thinking about buying a new MBP 15 with only the 9400M card. Will this be good enough for keynote presentations (with some heavy graphics and embedded movies etc) hooked to an external projector?
    (I have an 2006 MBP 15 which is dying (those pixelated horizontal lines) but that had discrete graphics Ati x1600 which had some problems with keynote transitions)
    Thanks!

    It should be able to handle Keynote with no problem.
    But since this particular applications performance seems to
    be very important to you, why not just put a Keynote presentation of yours on
    a CD or flash stick and take it into an Apple Store. They will gladly let you try your
    file with their new Macbook Pro's. If there isn't an Apple Store near you then go to an authorized Apple reseller.
    That is the only way to be totally sure.

  • Is Pages Good Enough For Professional Printing?

    I'm looking to do an Large Format Brochure (11" x 17") single fold and I've been using Pages for the mock up and layout. I was thinking that I would need someone to recreate the design in Quark, or Pagemaker, but now I'm wondering if I can do it all in Pages.
    The printer that I plan on using is PSPrint (http://www.psprint.com/) and according to their offset printing specs and template, I just have to provide them with a 300dpi PDF. From what I've tested, exporting to PDF with quality set at "Best" I get a 300dpi file.
    I haven't tested my output with photographs yet since we haven't purchased the final images and are using comps, but am I wrong in thinking that Pages is good enough for this project?
    Template: http://www.psprint.com/DOWNLOAD/templates/brochures/brochurehalffold_11x17front.pdf
    Thanks in advance!

    There is no way to save out of Pages to pdf without flattening the transparency.
    Proposition: In any save path, transparency is flattened in saving.
    Test of proposition: Apple Pages '08 and Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 as platform.
    1. Launch system software and application software.
    2. Insert first composition frame, select Apple Hoefler antiqua at 24 US pt, enter 'Type', leave default colour, leave default opacity.
    3. Insert second composition frame, select Apple Hoefler antiqua at 24 US pt, enter 'Transparency', change default colour to rubrication red, change opacity to 50%.
    4. Select e.g. File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF, name file 'Test', and select folder.
    5. Launch Acrobat Professional 6 (first version with ISO 15930 PDF/X-3 verification), check the PDF version (: 1.4), check at high magnification (: no rasterisation), check that the source character string can be synthesised (: it can).
    As posted previously, if transparency is applied, PDF 1.4 is automatically configured unless the path is ISO 15930 PDF/X-3 that does not support transparency (PDF 1.3 has an opaque imaging model, not a transparency imaging model). This is a simplistic test, but it is nonetheless a test.
    Because Apple Quartz has applied transparency since 2000, and because there the matrix of system versions and application versions is somewhat monstrous, the notion of testing is somewhat notional .

  • Is Prentium D Dual Core 3.0 powerful enough for CS3?

    Is Prentium D Dual Core 3.0 powerful enough for CS3?

    Yes, Mobotu, I found P Pro 2.0 and Aspect 5.0 much better than 1.5.1 and 4.25 if for no other reason than it fixed the color/saturation shift when I played videos from the timeline without having to monkey around with that overlay playback setting. And it fixed the slight stuttering that the audio used to make when I first started playing a clip in the timeline. Beyond that, it has some other little nifty improvements, multicam, and a flexible window interface. I just received my free CS3 upgrade yesterday (due to a special promo when I bought ver. 2.0 a few months ago), so I will see how that works with Aspect HD 5 now. I also finally get a free upgrade included for my aging version of Encore 1.5 to Encore CS 3.0 and I will also see if I can find any use for On Location as well.

  • K7N2G good enough for Quake 4?

    Hello
    Is K7N2G good enough for Quake 4?
    I mean if Q4 should start at all. System requirements include GForce4MX, but the hangs after the splash window. I wonder what could be the reason. I did set the card shared memory to the required 64MB.
    Thank you
    T

    In the minimum requirements it shows:
    Intel®Pentium® 4 2 Ghz or AMD® XP 2000+ processor or higher
    512 MB RAM
    English Version of Microsoft®Windows® 2000/XP
    100% DirectX® 9.0c compatable 64MB 3D Hardware Accelerator video card required
    8X Speed CD-ROM Drive and latest drivers
    2.8GB of uncompressed free hard disk space (plus 400MB for for Windows® swap file)
    100% DirectX® 9.0c compatable 16-bit sound card and latest drivers
    100% Microsoft®Windows® 2000/XP compatible mouse, keyboard, and latest drivers.
    100% DirectX® 9.0c inlcuded
    They also list Vid Cards:

    ATI® Radeon® X300
    ATI® Radeon® X550

    all Nvidia® GeForce 3/TI Series
    all Nvidia® GeForce 4/TI Series
    all Nvidia® GeForce FX Series
    all Nvidia® GeForce 6 Series
    all Nvidia® GeForce 7 Series
    If I read this list correctly you need to be a GeForce 4 TI, not an MX.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. You will need to run it at the lowest settings and there is still a chance you will get a slideshow. A good Vid Card like an X850XT PE and a total of 2Gb of RAM and I am sure you will get good performance at higher settings.
