Hello. After years and years I'm finally in a position to upgrade from MacBook Pro to a Mac Pro to run Logic. (It is Logic9 and the latest version!)
I'm really really hoping that 1 computer can actually really now allow me to go 'all in the box', considering my love of using many and various large scale Virtual Instruments together - i.e Ivory, Trillian, Superior Drummer2 etc
I was a little terrified when looking back over the recent post in this forum 'Logic 9.1.2 Out' and the huge amount of reply issues, complications and workaround suggestions leaving me a little head-scratched.
There were mentions in the replies to the post of particular machines being 'potentially' compromised by the latest software versions and discussions on issues of 'hyper-threading' and other matters that I don't fully understand as yet.

Its kinda left me unsure as to whether to get the base and cheapest model available - 2.8GHz Quad Core (which surely has to be a large leap from a 2008 model MacBook Pro?) or whether its worth paying extra for the next 8-Core model as its such a large purchase anyway. I guess I don't know for my application what would be best taking into account the current software situation and the technical issues discussed.

In anybody may be prepared to advise I would be very very grateful as I don't want to regret anything in relation to such a large potential purchase!

Regards

this is a good starting place
