I am switching to Mac and generally want a laptop. I actually have already bought an MBox from digidesign. Initially, I intend to use ProTools LE, Absynth. I envision myself running mostly MIDI, with half of a dozen audio tracks. I intend to also get a glyph drive in the future.
So, knowing that, will the iBook 700 suffice. The debate of course between it and the PB (maybe 550). It seems like the iBook will be fine, especially when packed with 640 of RAM, but I've read comments here and there on the net about how it isn't for the 'Serious' audio production. No, I'm not recording the next Puff Daddy album, but I want something that I won't outgrow for 2-3 years. Any opinions are great, especially from current iBook owners... Thanks, Tim. |

Thanx Rickenbacker and Synthetic...You sorted me out from a lot of mixed thoughts regarding PB vs. ibook...A couple of questions: For you, the .lucky man that gets to try gear for audio mags: How does your ibook work with Logic and VST and could you please recomend on a sound card/ audio/MIDI interface that would work well with that set-up? I can't afford to spend more than $200-300 (preferably less then that, please)
Peace...
