Which Mac Pro System works best with Premiere Pro CC?

I am looking to upgrade my 12 core tower to the newer Mac Pro. I am wondering if anyone out there has suggestion as to what makes the most sense financially in terms of which flavor of Mac Pro to get? For example, Is there a significant speed increase between the 8 core vs 12 core, and the D500 Vs the D700 Video Cards ? And how much RAM ? Normally the temptation is to go out and get the maxed out system, but reading though the forums with the various issues people are having with performance on the newer Mac Pro's and Premiere, would be great to know how it stacks up in the real world.
Appreciate any input in this regard.
Cheers
Chris

I thought the only graphic card options on the new Mac Pro are all AMD cards, is that not correct? You can use the Quadro?

Yes, thanks I forgot about that. I was just going by what I have, which is an older model so I can apparently just replace it with a newer Quadro.
I'm no apple hardware expert and I'm not sure how the ports are setup. Apple's official support site only lists the AMD cards Chris mentioned for their most recent model, but that's also listed as late 2013 which doesn't seem right either. (or is it?) Note that they also list my mid-2010 model as only supporting ATI Radeon HD 577 and 5870 but I've been running a Quadro FX4800 in it with good results for several years, so I know that part's not right. So I'm not sure I'd take that site entirely literally, but of course you would not want to risk getting the wrong card. You should probably enlist the help of apple support (and/or forums) to get more details and assurance before purchasing, but bottom line is you'll want something with plenty of RAM (~ 4 GB or higher if possible) which will also be compatible with CUDA and or OPenCL playback in prpro.

Which video camera works best with Premiere Pro CS6

I'm a beginner in working with PP and need to purchase a video camera which will work seemlessly with Premiere Pro. I don't want to go through a lot of conversion steps. I want to tape my kids sports, be able to take the raw video right from the camera to PP and begin editing, copying etc. Does the Canon HFM 500 with ABCHD formats provide what I need or do I need something more sophisticated? Just getting started with the whole video editing thing and want to make the right choices before buying a camera. Thanks for any input.

Getting answers through search is hit or miss depending on what terms you use and how much time and patience you have on your hands. And sometimes it's just easier to ask your question because you might not know how best to search for your answer.

Which Operating System works best with CS3?

Just want your thoughts. Since I am having some minor
compatibility issue with CS# and XP Home, I was told that the best
way to rectify this is to upgrade to XP Pro SP2. I am wondering if
it wouldn't be better to upgrade to Vista Home Premium SP1. What
are your thoughts?

You could always upgrade to a Mac. Sorry just had to through
that in there.
On the Windows side, as of right now, you will only be able
to get XP Pro until June 30th. Support is slated to end around 2010
I believe.
Personally it depends on who you ask and what your computer
is capable of. If your computer is fairly new and can upgrade to a
maximum of 4 gigs (the limit set by a 32-bit OS) I would say go for
the Visa Home Premium 32-bit edition. If you are unsure of how much
you can upgrade your computers memory check out www.crucial.com and
use the memory finder tool. It will install an application and tell
you the current and maximum memory configuration allowed for your
machine.
If your computer is older and cannot upgrade that far I would
say go get an XP Pro upgrade before MS stops selling it.

Which printer brands/models work best with a MacBook?

I want to purchase an All-In-One printer/scanner/copier but not sure which one to buy.... any tips or advice? I know people have had problems in the past with certain brands and macs in general.
I was thinking one with wi-fi would be quite useful if two laptops wanted to print to the same printer without being right next to it. Can you use internet wi-fi at the same time as using a wi-fi printer?
Cheers

I purchased a refurbished HP all-in-one several years ago and it works like a charm. In addition, when I have had questions I found that, even though I have not had a warranty for years, HP gives excellent free expert email support, which is a value itself.
I suspect that almost any of the major printer manufacturers would have a product that would work well for you. You should consider what is most important to you and go to a retailer like Staples and test drive the printer. e.g. if you want to print photos, be sure you get one that does the best job in that department. I have not checked, but you could check reviews and ratings in publications like MacWorld or Consumer Reports.

Which version of ilife works best with Tiger 10.4.11 on G4Powerbook 1.33Ghz

Hi,
Just installed Tiger retail on my powerbook G4 and found out there is no native garageband/imovie so was wondering if there is a best ilife to look for that suits either the powerbook G4 1.33Ghz 1GB RAM and/or Tiger best or has known issues that can be recognized/dealt w before i buy?
(panther's garageband was sticking and getting sluggish after only a few tracks or 2 tracks of digital beats, which is why i have installed Tiger).
It's a combo 60GB harddrive with about 35/40GB spare
as i have everything stored on my EXT HD.
I could use the panther ilife -
does anyone know if the newer ilife programs r better in speed and performance as well as gadgets or will they perform the same as the old v that i have because i'm still working on the G4?
Any info would be helpful here,
Thanks

These are questions best asked on the ilife forums, perhaps specifically the [Garageband forum|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=127]. You'll probably get suggestions here, but you know that people on the GB forum are running GB, but can't be guaranteed that here (myself for example).

Which version of winodws works best with MBA? ahich software I should use?

I used to be a mac user until i started college, long story short got a MBA and love it to death but i still need to install windows in order for my work use, i need your advice on which windows version i should get? the home basic, premium or ultimate? and from reading the post here i see that there is another way to install windows on mba by using VMware, should i use VMware or boot camp to install my windows and any suggestions about what should i do and not do while installing? Thank you so much! mac rules!

Some advice depends on how much money you have available. As a college student I would think the budget is a little tight.
I would load Windows XP Home edition, not Vista. The subject of VMware is $ vs convenience. You can load XP under bootcamp for free, but you have to reboot between OSX and Windows sessions. Under VMware you can run both at the same time and switch between them at will, however it'll cost you $60-$80 for the privlige.
It's much easier to install Windows and VMware if you bought the external Superdrive, however watch out for the "gotcha" that I posted in another thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1378410&tstart=0
I use VMware and Windows XP, it's the best of both worlds although I would prefer to drop my windows use all together.
It's really nice to use SPACES and assign VMware/windows to space 2 and OSX tasks to space 1 and then switch back and forth.
Hope this helps, CaptFred

Which OSX version works best with Logic Pro 7.2

Hello everyone,
Was hoping i could get some opinions on which osx version works best with logic 7.2
i currently have OSX 10.4.2 but i would like to update at least to 10.4.3 (that is least required to run logic as stated in install manual)...
should i go for 10.4.4, 10.4.5 or 10.4.6 ?
which would run best with logic pro 7.2?
thanks much everyone
Quad G5 2.5ghz 3GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.2)
Quad G5 2.5ghz 3GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.2)

10.4.5 was rock solid for me, and three days into heavy Logic use at 10.4.6 is proving to be just as good.
Get caught up, and go ahead and update to 10.4.6

Which camera will work best with the MAC? NIKON or Canon

Contemplating on buy a camera and a MAC, but need to know which camera will work best with a MAC, Nikon or Canon? Any info is appreciated

Both will work very well. You might not even need to install the software that comes with them because they'll probably work fine with iPhoto etc. Before you buy a camera, check this list of cameras supported by OS X:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
Just about all Nikon and Canon cameras are on that list. If a camera is so new it is not yet on that list, it will be in the next update, probably.
That list is for raw format compatibility. If your camera also shoots JPEG, it will work with a Mac even if it's not on that list. If a camera doesn't work by plugging in a cable, take the card out and put it in an ordinary USB card reader and the Mac will read it.
Nikon has a slight advantage in that it supports a mode that lets the Mac mount a camera like a disk on the desktop. Canons don't mount on the desktop, but it's not really a disadvantage, because Canons still work great with Apple iPhoto, Apple Aperture, Apple Image Capture, and Adobe apps, and all of those are more efficient ways of transferring photos than dragging them out manually.

HT1349 which Sound Dock Music System will work best with my new iPod Touch 5th genertion

Which Sound Dock Music System will work best with my new iPod Touch 16GB 5th generation ?
I have been reading on line about how many don't. So what does. This was one of the main reasons I bought it. Will it work in one of the Bose Sound Dock Systems ?

paula393 wrote:
There will be no problems connecting. I am hearing that there are connection problems with the5th generation iPod Touch to the Sound Docks. As well, which systems will produce the best sound?
I have heard of no such problems with connection.
Regarding sound, it's simply a matter personal preference. My suggestion is to go to the nearest Apple Store and try out a couple. Each of the products at the store have passed an extensive vetting process. The Specialists are willing to work with you and may even open a box or two. Don't be unreasonable and expect to spend a half-day opening all the different models. In other words, don't abuse their willingness to provide stellar customer service.
Better yet, direct your eyballs to the store shelf or the Apple website. That's really all you need to know.

Which Digidesign interfaces work best with Logic Pro ?

Can anyone tell which of these work best with Logic if any at all?
- Digi-003
- M-Box Pro
- M-box2
- M-Box mini
- M-Powered

Thanks for the posts
After hearing complaints about latency, driver
issues, horrible quality,incompatibility with there
plugs in logic as well as no chance to stand against
performances and sound quality of other hardware half
there prices i thought to ask.
Wow. All that??? And then they recommend Migraine-Audio to you??? I don't think those posters know what they are talking about.
I've been using Logic since it could be used with Digidesign hardware, from version 4.8.1, and it has always worked very well.
It does pay to research the setting up of a DAW computer, as it is almost never just "plug-n-play" like many people believe. But once it is set up, it can run for years without problems. Most people experience problems because they change the setup, install free plugins, change audio gear, every other day of the week, and of course, that makes for a very unstable situation. No wonder they complain. But it is their tech-ethic they should be complaining about, not the equipment.
Can anyone verify there set ups and latency?
Here's one extensive test I did on my Digi 002R:
http://nicksevilla.com/logicpro-som/LogicTests.html
The latency is the same as with other comparable FireWire interfaces. Not more, and not less.
i wont drag this out into a long post i just want a
round about, all logic users in other forums seem to
be against Digi hardware, most advised to buy the
cheapest possible M-Audio interface just to run M
Powered Pro Tools if i realy need PT at all.
Really??? All of them???And did they know they are advising you to buy stuff that actually does NOT work properly??? Shame on those posters you read, as Digidesign drivers are a LOT more stable that the Migraine-Audio ones. Digidesign themselves told me to stay away from M-Audio... so you read into that whatever you like. I'll keep that advise from them.
Cheers
