Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / July 2003CPU Upgrade to use "Soundtrack"?
I was interested in purchasing Apple's "Soundtrack" - it would complement perfectly my video production setup - but I notice that it requires a minimum "single 500 MHz or dual 450 MHz processor". It's strange on Apple's part to have this requirement, since this software's logical partners in production (Final Cut Pro and Express) run on slower Macs, including mine. To get to the point : my old G4 (December 2000 vintage) has a 400 MHz processor, with over 1 GB of RAM. Apple doesn't have software demos. Would Soundtrack run on it at all, even slowly, or is it totally out of the question? Or could it be used if I wait for it to render (like video)? I'm not interested in getting another Mac just to use "Soundtrack". Any advice appreciated. > I was interested in purchasing Apple's "Soundtrack" - it would > complement perfectly my video production setup - but I notice that it [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > I'm not interested in getting another Mac just to use "Soundtrack". Another possibility might be to get a CPU upgrade card. www.powerlogix.com make excellent cards. > I was interested in purchasing Apple's "Soundtrack" - it would > complement perfectly my video production setup - but I notice that it [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Any advice appreciated. I understand that the version that comes with Final Cut Pro 4 (which strangely has the high cpu requirements while FCP4 itself doesn't) will run by text editing a tag in a file within the Apps Package Contents But the stand alone Soundtrack Installer 'may'have a limiting check before install,but the app called Pacifist could curcumvent this check So to answer your question, it will work |
