Well the title really sums up what I'm looking for. under 800$ please.

Hi there, I've recently moved into a shared accomodation house, meaning I have housemates, meaning I can't sing and record loudly at night time - unless I go downstairs.
But i've just gone and brought a big clunky old PC! clearly it can't be moved around.

Hello!

I'm looking for the best professional ready-to-go audio workstation, a strong PC laptop... I'd like it to be ultra-compatible with music production/recording software, and audio interfaces... I'd like it to be powerful (core i5 or i7). I'd like it to be the most silent possible...

I love TheJackAttacks rack and especially for cable strain and simplicity to cart around a nice clean setup:
$269.00

Any suggestions? I only need it for one thing and that is have an input for my Turntable, nothing else.

Ive been recording for about 9 years and use a desktop. My pc is a workhorse but I need to have mobility

Just got a quad core laptop with a ton of ram, more than capable of handling recording but they dont make laptops these days with firewire, mainly cuz its not a highly used consumer input...

I use a Focusrite saffire pro 24 channel recorder

I use Sony Sound Forge on Windows 7 to do the editing work after recording on a Sony PCM-D50 portable recorder.

I'm wondering if these kinds of sound manipulating softwares use internal arithmetic to edit .wav files? Does it make any differences whether I do this editing work in a studio with a professional sound card or just do it on my lame laptop with a terrible sound card?

Getting prepared for my first mobile gig in a months time, YA! I'm recording Choirs for the Prince George Music Festival.

I need a usb inteface with the following characteristics:

- usb 2.0
- at least one line input (if stereo, better, for synths) with hi-z
- at least one mic input (if it has phantom, and is xlr, better, for a condenser mic)
- a stereo output so as to route all audio when playing live to the FOH console
- it has to be low-budget (I'm in Argentina!)

I am looking into purchasing a laptop to use to record audio (I will not be editing on this laptop, just recording). I am using Adobe Audition 3.0. Generally I will be recording 4 streams of audio (with a max bitrate of 96khz and 24 bits) but have the capibility of recording up to 8 channels at that quality.
