Steinberg MR816X System Requirements

[sambrothie]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum and realized I may have posted my question in the wrong section.

I'm looking to set up a home studio to record my drums and also my bands music. I have 2009 MacBook (2GHz Processor, 4GB Ram, Firewire Port) and I'm also currently running Cubase 5 Essential. What I want to know is: if I purchase the Steinberg MR816X AI, will my system be sufficiently powerful to record 8 tracks simultaniously (i.e. 8 mic inputs going to 8 separate track in Cubase)?

Many thanks, Sam

My guess is assuming you have a G5 OS running 10.4 or 10.5, you could likely record eight tracks in one bang, with the Cubase AI 4.5 included with the MR816X.
