I am running the Mbox on a Toshiba Satellite-
I need to get and external Hard drive. I went to Pro Tools site for compatible drives and got thoroughly confused and lost in all the pages of text..
Any suggestions for this laptop setup?

thanks

I want to move over to Mac for my Mobile DAW. I'll be using Logic Audio 6 or Pro (so I'll be able to take advatage of the "freeze track" function, which is suppose to do wonders for cpu free-up). Should I go with a Ibook G4 900 or a Tibook 867? Does the L2 Cache make that much of a difference?

Hi,

New to the list, first post, heard about the group via Ethan Winer's excellent homepage. I'm a violininst, I study at the conservatory in Copenhagen, and besides that I enjoy myself in my little home studio.

Hi everyone - I have been reading the posts here for a while and now have a question for the experts here. It's pretty remedial but I haven't found a clear answer anywhere yet.
I have been doing some live recording using board feed/room mic into a mixer into an Alesis HD recorder. I am thinking about switching to something like a MOTU 828 or 896 into a laptop.

title says it all...the pro tools book says to nudge using +/- on the keypad part of the keyboard. a laptop dosen't have one, and that's what i'm using. MY +/- buttons do nothing.

help?

Hi, I'm assembling the pieces for a small home studio, starting with a G4 400MHZ Mac running OS X. I'm thinking of using USB for the hardware interface and firewire for an external hard drive. I have no plans for more than two inputs at a time and if I get to the point where that's a limitation I'll upgrade hardware.

Laptop has pcmcia slots and fire wire port and CDrom.

I want to get pre-master material ino laptop to do cross fades and some minor editing.

I have Masterlink created 24 bit CDs and also 16 bit nonmastered CDs that others have created.

I want to do home mastering of these from laptop - HEDD - VariMu - massive Passive - Hedd - redbook burn.

I need advice. I'm looking for something small, portable, and clean that I can use to record on the road. I don't need multiple inputs, just a clear and strong signal. Any advice? :p:

Help,

I bought a laptop to do some recording and the noise was terrible. All I'm using is live recording from a mic (no MIDI). I've seen the advertisement on the EBTECH hum eliminator and it says to locate the eliminator between the problem equipment. I'm only using a mic so I assume the noise is inside the laptop. Any ideas how to resolve this issue? I bought the laptop (Toshiba) for recording.
