RE: who uses which laptop
[image file]
OK have sold almost enuff old gear to spend about $1200 on a laptop- yay!
damn, but now this whole latency thing had me stuck. I HATE latency and
CANNOT compose w/out a controller. I don't want an external soundcard b/c
1)dont have anymore to spend 2)reduces portability.
So I want a lappy w/ a "smokin" stock card (yeah yeah, long shot).
knowa said: "I think the powerbooks can get real low latency out of the box, like
10 ms. there seems to be agreement that the stock mac soundcards are very
good."
So maybe i'll do a mac- G3/G4 ibooks are way cheap. But an ibook? are they
kinda weak? Also macs don't do acid, which sucks. But there's no punch-in
recording for MIDI on Acid 4, which basically renders it useless for the way I
make beats. so I could live w/ cubase on a mac, even tho shit, there's no
soundforge or wavelab...scary.
Damn I'm trying to do my research but it's overwhelming; too much hype and
vague info- I need some real shit. Any good links for like, good lappys for music?
grrrr mac or pc laptop...your input appreciated
