I have been comtemplating a move to PT11 from Sonar and am getting serious about putting together a system that will meet my needs and allow for some room for future growth.
I would like a portable system that can handle several virtual instruments, as well as several audio tracks without having to worry about running out of CPU/RAM in the middle of tracking/mixing, etc. Will a Quad-core MBP with 16 GB of RAM and a Thunderbolt interface like the IO8X8X8 be sufficient, or do I need to scrap the idea of a portable set-up and go with a more powerful 6-core Mac Pro (desktop model) with 32-64 GB of RAM? I am thinking I'll use my 3 Grace 101 preamps into the 8X8X8 for vocal tracking, and build all of my music tracks using VI technology, along with the Avid Artist Mix and Artist Transport for session control, thereby eliminating my need for a dedicated mixing console. Will this set-up work and serve me well into the future, or do I need to take another approach? Thank you for any pointers that can be passed along.
