Hello Everyone, hope all is well....
I just bought Harmony Navigator yesterday and I think it is a great product.
So, I am thinking if Harmony Navigator is such a great tool then Synfire could even be better......
I compose my own music, so I do not use any audio loops. I work in the Blues, 60's, 70's rock with some jazz mixed in.
I have Studio One Pro, with some VST's such as Komplete 10 Ultimate. I also own a Mini Mac 3.0 16 Gig Ram 17. So I was wondering how well could these work together with Synfire?
Thanks......

Welcome to the user forum!
Synfire works fine with Studio One:

16G RAM are plenty. What Mac mini model exactly do you have?

Thanks for the help......
I just picked up my Mac Mini less than a month ago, it is a late 2014 model.

2.8 Ghz are ok. You may need more than two cores, if you want to run a DAW at the same time synced with Synfire and many plugins. Best is you try the demo and see if it works.

I had it upgraded to 3.0 GHZ.....Sometime in the coming months I am planning on going Mac Pro that has 6 or 8 cores....You think I should wait till I get that?

I use ableton live and synfire running on a macbook pro 2010 dual core 2.3Ghz. I do run out of steam sometimes, but just flatten/bounce a few tracks to audio in ableton live. Would say it all depends on the vsts and the type of music you compose. I tend to finish my tracks off in live once ive got the song pretty much sorted using synfire, I transfer the midi (drag from dones) to live then add effects, eq, mix down,etc without synfire running.
Obviously the more powerful the machine the less you have to worry about running out of steam.
