Hi Dudes -
I do a fair amount of home studio recording, currently using a PV14-USB mixer run to a Boss BR1180 digie studio (live mixing to a stereo pair on the digital studio). I'd like to get an affordable laptop for home use, and may as well be sure it can do a good job recording too.

Okay, so I've used my laptop and desktop separately for recording but I'm wondering if there's any benefit to chaining them both together. The laptop is an HP DV6 running Win7 64, Intel Core2 Duo T6600 @ 2.20 GHz, 7200 RPM SATA drive, 4 GB RAM. The desktop is a Dell Dimension 2400 running XP Pro, Version 2002 Service Pack 3, Pentium 4 @ 2.20 GHz, only 768 RAM.

Hey,

This specific question is very loosely about "recording", I guess. I need to know what to look for in a laptop audio-wise to play with Reason. My current (general-use) laptop won't even play back MIDI sound to install Reason. I just want to be able to fool around with ideas on the laptop, then bring the projects to my desktop. Controller input isn't even necessary.

Hey guys,

I have a laptop without firewire ports. It has 3 USB 2.0 ports, a serial port and an ethernet port. I have been trying to figure out if it would be possible to use my digi002r with this computer in someway for a live mult-track recording using REAPER.

Hi, just bought a lovely Phonic Helix mixing desk with firewire. Unfortunatly what i thought was a firewire connection on my laptop is actually something else, no biggie as it's time for a new one anyway so...

Hi!

I'm trying to record multiple tracks (guitar, vocals) at different times and mix them together using Audacity.

There seems to be a time delay in the recordings somewhere between the mic, the mixer, and my computer, and I have a feeling it is the computer. This delay is making recordings difficult to line up in time together.

Here's what i'm using:

Hello
I'd like to ask about live playing with midi keyboard and laptop. For this moment i use Cubase 5 and NI vst instruments. But i thing that it can be more flexible software for live using vst instruments. Can you give me some advise?
Thank You

Hi guys.
I was wondering if my laptop was good enough to handle all the recording and etc. that I would be doing. So here are some of the specs:

Dell Vostro 1500
Intel Core 2 Duo @1.60 GHz
1.00 GB Ram
Windows 7 32-bit

Greetings,

I would like some help regarding the matter. I am torn between these two laptops as my audio workstation. Both will be identical in regards to specs: from the processor, storage, memory, OS,Software(CUBASE), etc..
