Hey, I just picked up a 2.6 ghz Celeron Dell laptop and I wondered as a whole how much faster it is compared to my Athlon 1.7 desktop. Just for curiousity...

Thanks

I am toying with the idea of using a laptop for recording recitals, audition tapes, and eventually to record band and orchestra concerts. I'm pondering the idea of starting by using a laptop and some kind of firewire based interface to record all this classical music.

OK guys, I know a lot when it comes to recording, but I'm not a bytehead or a tech guy so I'm not sure of the answer to this (I do have my assumptions though) but here it goes:

What sort of audio work is the G3 and G4 iBook capable of?

I want to get an Apple laptop to learn more about osX. I know lots about PC based systems but not so much about Apples and a laptop would be nice.

I'm have a Gateway laptop, using the Lexicon Omega for my I/O. I've used it for a while, including an Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA card before that, both no problems. Then I decided I needed more storage so I bought a 300 GB Seagate external HD. Now I'm getting a hum. The hum gets louder if I turn the output level anywhere off of the half-way mark.

Hi to all,
I'm using for about 1 month an Mbox with my Acer Aspire 1692.

Unfortunately my chiset is unsupported by Mbox. Don't worry, a friend rent me the sound card, I don't have bought it.

okayyy...I know I am simplifying this to extremes but Im gonna be pulling in around 4500 dollars this summer which I want to dedictae soley to a laptop based beatmaking station...If possible id like to keep it under 3500 with software and all...is that possible? I looked into a mac powerbookG4...good choice?

I guess a Celeron-M based laptop would be ok for recording/playing back multiple tracks? I will later dump the project on my newly upgraded desktop for processing and mixing, but I am looking for a "cheap", possibly used, laptop that will work as a multi-track on location as I don't want be draging too much around.

It should be able to..:

Sennheiser M/S shot gun->Mini MP----->RME ADI-2-->hahahaha Mauido transit S/PDIF input 96 24 stereo.
I can monitor from the ADI-2.

I have a dual G4 DP righ in my studio but I I wanted a lap top for remote recording as well. The ibooks had caught my eyes as you can get one for as low as $999, which is great for a mac. I had posted my intention and users had said that the imac was great, so I took the plunge.
