Just got a second one for $150, which was an exceptional price. I bought a dual 5,1 two years ago for $500. Why? 4,1s require de-lidded CPUs and EFI flashing. Make sure it is a real 5,1, not a 4,1 that has been flashed to 5,1 status. Once I landed my two dual 5,1s, I sold the single CPU models.

I have done the CPU swap on four Mac Pros - two single and two dual CPU models - for myself and several others for friends.

on.2099092Įverything you need to know about hot-rodding a Mac Pro can be found at the above link. I just need to know WHAT components will get me a pretty dang fast computer. I'm not gonna pay 2450 to a Danish company when i could piecemeal it myself. I mentioned them because I was reading an article on this company selling Hot Rodded Mac Pro towers. If you are gonna' spend over $2k, don't look to Denmark, look into a new 6-core Mac Mini. Hot-rodded Mac Pros abound on eBay if you don't want to build one yourself. I'm just wondering if a 5,1 will give me a SIGNIFICANT jump from my current 3,1 (specs below)Ĭraigslist and eBay and willingness to do a little futzing around inside a computer are what you need. It really does impact the players' experience and view of the studio.Įvery time I'm in DP and click out of DP to access another app (text edit, CueMix, etc), when I click back into DP, it hangs for a few seconds. In 3 sessions I had last week, 1 mix was good, the other 2 were "meh". That makes a WORLD of difference to studio musicians.
My goal is to have AMAZING headphone mixes. I was just noticing that dialing in FX via the new interfaces that have on-board FX is a little less cumbersome than patching and also buying a lot of outboard gear. Rather than get into an entirely new interface, I could just stick with my outboard gear.

You can keep the audio driver buffer high and the latency will be "pre-delay". Create an aux track in DP and route the live input through that with a reverb plug-in. If all you need for FX is reverb, you can still monitor the direct signal through the hardware. You can use outboard or you can process in the computer. If the interface doesn't have built-in effects you have two choices if you do want monitored effects. I run guitar effects and live VIs.įor studio work I run the buffer at 1024 and monitor through the hardware. I run a buffer of 32 with a Firewire/USB interface. No matter how powerful the computer, lowering the buffer to have acceptable CPU based monitoring is a big hit. The real difference is the basic choice of monitoring through the CPU or through hardware.

I think they’re called BIGLITTLEFRANK or something like that. I did some research and a company is selling maxed out 5,1’s in Denmark. I don't know how much outboard you need for tracking for me, a nice reverb is about all that is required. This machine is essentially identical to my studio Mac Pro, so I am now in good shape should that Mac fail at any point. SATA SSDs are cheap now, so storage expense was fairly nominal, too. I just picked up a backup 8 core 5,1 for $150 which was immediately upgraded to 12 3.33GHz cores for $90 and a Metal-compatible GPU for another $70 allowing the machine to run Mojave.

I do quite a bit of full band tracking and as of now, the 2408 (2 of them) provide me with flexibility of many tracks but the drawback of not having internal FX.Īny opinions or suggestions are appreciated.Īs for budget. Is it worth upgrading my interfaces? If I do that, I'm sure I'll need to get into at least a Thunderbolt or higher connectivity. I feel like I'm a little behind the technology curve. I'd like to be able to utilize the newer technology of adding FX to headphone mixes without using a ton of outboard gear as Im doing now. Is it worth upgrading to a new(er) Mac Pro for speed? but it doesn't have any FX available on it. The one thing I love about the 2048 is the DIRECT HARDWARE PLAYTHRU. I'm in a lot of different studios for sessions and these guys have great new interfaces from UA, Antelope, Apollo, etc.
