  • Pro Edition requirement

    Hi! All,
    I am going to buy the Pro edition sometime soon and wanted to know if I need anything more than what I have to use it properly.

    I run two pcs. The one for Gigastudio is P4 3.04 Ghz, 512 MB Ram, 160 GB Hdd. I dont use it for anything else other than gigastudio.

    I understand I need 1 GB Ram but apart from that - what other kind of enhancements I need to run Giga properly? People say a lot about using Giga on two computers for good performance and ease of
    recording. The best I can do is buy a mac mini use Digital Performer 4.5 with that and then use two computers for giga but is it worth so much money? I will be shelling out a lot as you can imagine! The important thing is performance here. If I cant use the pro edition properly then there is no point!

    Please advice on my set up. I am highly confused as of now. A lot of you must have noticed my posts on master keyboards and all of that. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks...

    Regards,
    Tanuj.

  • P.S. not being silly but perhaps a Mac Mini wouldn't cope with the strain of running DP. Perhaps some other people could chime in with their experiences...

  • I'm sure a mini would be fine if your doing mostly MIDI with the gigastudios. The problem with the mini is its RAM ceiling and expansion options (none) but I am a big fan of divide and conquer. So if you're only going to sequence a bunch of giga with a dozen audio tracks from the mini then you're probably O.K.
