I'm in the same boat. I currently use an iPod to play back pre-recorded pieces during my gigs. However, I'm touring in the Autumn and I want something more reliable as the iPod keeps skipping tracks etc - not something you want on stage!
I reckon at first I'd be just using iTunes for playing back the pre-recorded parts, but it'd be nice to use software instruments etc onstage too. I reckon a bottom of the range iBook would be enough for simply playing back MP3s, but how about running Logic Express and a couple of softsynths too? Would an iBook and 1GB RAM be okay, or is a Powerbook a necessity? |
