ferret,
After a few weeks I have been forced to reluctantly return the tiBook. I will give a rundown of my experience: I have an MPC2000 which i use for all my midi sequencing. i started on this so I am most comfortable using the MPC. When i feel a song is ready I transfer the midi data via my MOTU 828mkii into digital performer tweak it further, convert each track into audio, and layer, process and add vocals. I used digital performer on the tiBook w/ Panther and although it worked, performance was sluggish and sometimes unresponsive. The bottom line is with my current setup, I could get each machine to 'talk' to the next, no problem, and integration was simple enough. However, any serious audio work (i.e effects processing and recording more than 4 tracks at a time or indeed playing back moe than 4 tracks) was limited by the slow processor speed. I was reluctant to send it back, but the making music was becoming more of a hassle than a joy  So, all in all, I would not recomend one of the first gen tibooks. Unfortunatly money is a serious issue with me so i plan to go up in increments until i find a machine that works ok, for the least amount of money- next in line... 800MHz ibook

sounds like you were running in low power consumption mode throttling the cpu down. I am using a 3 year old G4 466, 1.5GB of RAM, Panther, Logic Audio Plat 6.x and get around 32 tracks of audio (use freeze tracks for more) incl. FX.
Too bad, hope your next experience will be better.
