hey everybody- i'm looking for advice on setting up my mac for laptop djing. right now i have a 12" powerbook G4 1GHZ that i would like to use for laptop djing, probably with ms pinky. i would like to know how minimal i can get it. i only have a 40 gig hd in it, so space is limited. i would like to know what is essential to run just a dj program. what files can i get rid of, what programs don't i need, etc. i'm talking barebones stripped, focused solely on djing, no intertubes, no logic, no garageband, i can store my tracks on a thumb drive if need be, but i don't use them so i don't know how much space they really have. thanks for the info, especially from any hardcore geeks/wizards out there. peace!

apachateca....
Ms Pinky, would be too important to rely on 12" powerbook G4 1GHz! Sounds like you're going to a Crypts & Bloods Fight (Two Notorious LA Gangs) armed with a bag of Popcorn... I really think you need more "Power". You might be expecting too much from 1GHz. If you are totally "Organized" and "Optimized" you might pull it off... Sounds too "Big" of a "Gig" for such a "Little" "Rig". Laptops can be tempermental at the best of times, however, the thought of a 12" PowerBook under hot conditions, with constant power surges from lights, PA, etc. being responsible for Ms Pinky?!?! I'm feeling nervous about this 'apachateca'. If you pull it off you're a champion... |
