I have been waiting for a couple of months now to see what is best for me to buy in the Powerbook line. Making music is something I want to experiment with, it will not be my main thing to do.
I have been thinking of getting a 12" PB, and a 17" flat panel display. 60 Gigs hard drive, max Ram. Should this serve me well? 800 Firewire not a big deal? Gigabit Ethernet not a big deal? Thinking of buying Live, Reason, and Oxygen or Edirol, as was suggested. As always, thanks in advance for your wisdom. charlie |

Hi
I´m also considering a 12 inch Powerbook. I would surely like something better but a budget has a limit. I wonder if the absence of an L3 cache would be an issue within a portable setup. Say, the 12 inch powerbook, an Mbox, and an external firewire harddrive. You can´t go over the Mbox´s limited simultaneous inputs, and they would be going to the external drive, so I don´t see how the powerbook wouldn´t be able to handle that. Then you would start adding tracks, plugins, and mixing. At what point of this process will no L3 cache become an issue? 4, 8, 16 tracks with as many plugins? more? What do you guys think? |
