I have a 2012 MacBook pro, 2.7 GHz quad core with 16 GB RAM.

I'd like to use a eDrums with Superior drummer, 2 instances of S-Gear and one Amplitube Ampeg SVT or similar bass amp.
All of this (along with 3 vocals, with some reverb) via RME Fireface 802 at 64 samples for minimal latency.

The idea is to use it live, so no glitches/dropouts for duration of the 3 hour show.

So is this doable, anyone know from experience ?

You have the MBP, so you can test that setup or something simular. Not?

I don't have the RME yet, nor the eDrums, nor Superior Drummer. This is sort of a pre purchase question, if it's not going to work I'd rather find out before I invest.

Its not an exact Science Im afraid. You may have to juggle latency setting/disable wifi to make it work. It also depends what else you have running. Lowest latency will strain the CPU and heat up your Macbook. It should work but I wouldn't bet my life on it.
