mac mini or imac?

Post by jlee462 » Mon Dec 11, 2006 5:24 am

I am going to be using ableton 6 and drumagog primarily to work with my live recorded drum tracks. Therefore, I want a dedicated machines for drums.

Do you guys think a mac mini could handle 12-14 drum tracks with about 8 instances of drumagog running or do I need all the processing power I can get?

Also, would ableton and drumagog be processor heavy or ram heavy?

Thanks,

Jeremy
