I have a 2013 3.5 Ghz iMac quad-core with 32Gig Ram and a 1TB Fusion drive. I run some Logic X templates with several hundred tracks with VIs hosted in VEP6 on my 6-core PC server machine. I have an Apollo Twin thunderbolt interface. Performance seems to suffer when I use 50 or more of my tracks. Raising the buffer in Logic and the number of buffers in VEP helps but I often still have bad performance with the disk and I get the overload message from Logic which stops the audio.
I’m thinking about selling my iMac and buying a used 2013 Mac Pro. I’ve noticed that the prices are coming down quite a bit on eBay. Is this a dumb idea? If not, how many cores would you recommend?
