Hello all,
I have decided to kick the PC habit and migrate to a mac for my audio work. The trouble is the macs are rather expensive. Yes, yes i know you get a lot more stablility, compatablility etc with a mac but unfortunately my back manager does not see things my way. I am looking to buy a refurbished titanium powerbook g4/500 wit a 10 GB hard drive and 128 MB RAM. Are these specs too low to run say digital performer? Do you recommend a used laptop to sequence midi and record audio with? Spce is an issue with me so i try and save it where i can. I appreciate your input

Thanks for the help!
It is difficult figuring out all this stuff especially for a long time windoze user. One last question... if i buy the titanium powerbook and connect a motu 828 an extra firewire drive to it, wil this be enough to handle audio? I guess I am trying to find out if a 500 MHz laptop will keep up with all that processing. |
