Hello,
I'm hitting the CPU limits on my Dual 2.5 G5 and looking for some relief. We have a mac mini "business computer" that I was thinking of turning into a slave, but got discuraged knowing I'd have to speed almost as much as the computer for an audio interface to route the audio digitally back into Logic! However, with VE3's audio & midi over eithernet, that is no longer the case, and mini's in theory look to be a very cost effective solution once again!
So I'm looking for some practical user feedback: Would adding a single mini make any difference in my straining Dual 2.5 G5? Anyone at VSL and/or users have any benchmarks? Any problems running VE3 between PPC & intel macs? Are mini's a more cost effective slave in the long run, or is eventually getting a new mac pro the only way to go? What are you guys using as mac slaves?
Thanks in advance for your help!
