Pro Tools TDM Solution For PB G4 Ti ?

[Aksis]

Hey everyone,

I was having an issue with the Pro Tools le track limit of 24 mono tracks ( i usually use 16 stereo tracks = 32  mono like in pt 6) but i really want to use os 9 since i already painstakingly set it up and enjoy the environment. The problem is i know i would need proprietary equipment for TDM or Mix (Audio Int Cards, Exp Chassis), but i cant find or figure out with expansion chassis and digi card would be well for PowerBook; If anyone can give me some insight in the right direction it will SOOOOO appreciated. Hope you guys have a good one

Actually in hindsight i just realized it doesnt work on a MBOX which is all i have atm.

you have a couple of options:
consider to re-organize your tracks by some intermediate submixing, to get along with 24 ch.

Look for an expansion chassis with Expresscard connection plus (at least) 2 TDM cards to get a reasonable amount of processing resources plus 1 io-interface (882/888 etc).
(the TDM software won't run without the hardware io-box)

Get a G4 tower with the same amount of cards and the io-interface.

The latter is the most easy way because there are plenty of G4 Macs, TDM cards and interfaces, all for very affordable prices. Sometimes even complete systems.
If you like the handling of PT, then a TDM system is worth considering anyway.
It saves your Mac a significant amount of CPU cycles and the processing on the Motorola DSPs is excellent.
(myself using a G3 450Mhz B/W with relatively few plugins - I cherry-picked for a couple of months from what was available and imh ears the TDM kind of soundcolor is much more pleasing than the one from most current Windoze systems)
