If you've already bought or ordered a 6 or 12 core system, you may want to consider returning/replacing it for reasons which Apple would have trouble arguing with.MORiA | November, 28 | AudioZ Exclusive | 304.39 MB Logic is better optimized for 4 and 8 core rigs (which are also cheaper). In short, don't consider either the 12 or 6 core machines for use with Logic, if you want to maximize the hardware resources available. Last week they told me the exact opposite. Logic isn't coded to work on 12 core systems, and to do so requires a major upgrade, was the very clear message. Mine arrived this morning, I ran some tests and then spoke to Apple, who performed a complete U-Turn on their official 12-core / Logic Pro position of last week.
" Logic does not use all 12 cores of the 12-core Mac Pro, and will not do so any time soon.
I found this thread here with the following comment: As it stands, the 6 core 3.33 model strikes me as being a very good compromise.įurther on the 'which mac to buy next" issue. In the case of someone doing mostly audio recording, mixing with standard stuff such as many EQs and Comps, some delays and reverbs, but not relying on CPU draining Instruments, then more (even slower) cores may be of more benefit. That is difficult to determine, and what makes matters much more complicated is if the OS and Logic divide up the work so that along with our Omnisphere instance, other work is given to this core. Of course, this argument is based around the premise that a single instance of a VI could take up all the processing power a single core offers. Right now, the fastest cores come in the 3.33 GHz 6 core Westmere I mentioned. In this situation the only thing that helps is to have a machine with more powerful cores. If Omnisphere would overload *any* 2.4 GHz processor, it wouldn't matter whether you have 4, 6, 8 or 12 of them, nor wold it help if there was nothing else running. Let's, for the sake of argument, paint an extreme and very theoretical picture: Oh - I found an interesting thread here:. Sorry to ask, it might be simpler to say - OK Mark, thanks for your recommendation, I get it
How does the clock speed relate? IOW would a dual core 3.33 be better than a quad at 2.4? Does each instance of Omnisphere use a separate core? I am just about getting dual Omnisphere functionality with my 2.66 Dual Core. Why would a 6- core be better than an eight - can you expand a bit on that? I don't mind waiting a bit, the box you mention is /just/ outside my budget, which means I might fall for it > mileage out of 6 x 3.33 GHz cores than, for example, 8 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz.Īnd there isn't a 6-core on offer atm. if you are running some very demanding instruments, you may very likely get more
