Hi, I’m running an old version of protools HD as use the Digidesign Control 24 mixer which is incompatible with newer versions. Wanting to run EZ Drummer I’ve purchased a brand new iMac 3.4ghz with 8 gig of ram running Mac OS 10.12.4.
I plan to run this solo without a DAW then save the WAV file and download that into ProTools and create the rest of the track there.
My questions are:
1) Will the iMac run EZ Drummer ok? (hope so as I’ve already bought it)
2) Will I need a sound card (I presume I will but wondered if the headphone socket will do until it’s in Protools later).
3) Lastly are there any other problems or things I should be aware of that you can see arising from this use?
I understand that it would make more sense to run EZ Drummer as a plugin but I don’t want to replace my mixer as it is a good mixer that I am used to and don’t want to learn another.
Many thanks for your help,
Pete
