I just want to add this topic so people who successfully use a Titanum Powerbook can tell me what kind of performance they get with it. I'm looking into buying the 800mhz one, as I want to use it not for RECORDING, I do that on a desktop, but I want to edit and use some plugs and do most of the editing on the powerbook g4. Add any info you have on the powerbook and your uses and performance of it..
Thanks In Adavance, r a ts pg ; ) |

QUOTE Regarding the TIbook 667mhz, with 512-768 mb ram....and an external 120gb firewire hd, do you think it would be enough to edit X-30 tracks of audio with a reasonable amoun of plugs? i've gotten up to fifteen tracks with minimal plugins... eight with several plugins... but i've never had occasion to go higher. so i wouldn't know for sure. my guess? yeah, you could do 30 tracks. get an 800 mhz tibook, get 768 megs of ram, and make sure that your external drive is up to spec (glyph makes good ones. you're looking for a drive which uses the oxford 911 chipset)... that's really going to be the crucial point. without a drive that is full duplex (it can read and write at the same time), your track count is going to suffer no matter what cpu you have. most firewire drives are *not* full duplex. so, do your research in that area. and word to the mention of a shuttle pro... i've got a little kensington four button mouse, and even that isn't enough to make keyboard navigation easy. -------------------- there can be hours between the so and the what of the so
