I have a Titanium Powerbook G4 /768MB RAM/20GB HD
I want to make a *portable* basic audio studio using this hardware for recording and live perfomance. I used to do experimental/sound art -and some more techo oriented stuff- using and processing samples from field recordings, live performances recording, lo-fi instrumental recording, audio/movies/tv sampling. I use synths and keyboards too. how can i put all this kind of stuff in my powerbook for make a final CDR production? what kind of hardware can i use for audio input/output? (is midiman quattro a good choice?) what is better: usb or PC Card? can anyone give me some suggestions about using keyboards/synths among the sample processing? what software is better for this? (logic, cubase, protools?) thank you very much (and excuse this tons of questions) best regards from from the caribbean /david medina http://grama.port5.com -i'll appreciate a copy of your answer to my email: davmed@cantv.net- |

I have a Mac G4 Titanium with 1 gigRAM, 667Mhz cpu and am using Digital Performer 3.2. I would like to strongly recommend the RME Hammerfall DSP CardBus system. It has 8 analog I/O, SPDIF, Wordclock is 24 bit 96 Khz and ASIO compatible. I am in the position to be able to compare the MOTU 896 (and to be truthful the new Protools 192 interface, the MOTU 2408 with expansion and various other interfaces....it's my job running 7 digital recording studios).The RME SOUNDS absolutely beautiful and even though I have been a long time fan of MOTU stuff, this thing has to be heard to be believed.Try there website... http://www.rme-audio.com/ . It's other advantage is that it is one quarter the size of the 896 (=half rack mount
