I'm thinking of purchasing a 12" powerbook with 1gig of ram and 1ghz processor but i'm wondering if it will be able to run reason 2.5 rewired to SX and run reaktor without any problems? Any information will be much appreciated.

thanks.

Tom.

I have a 12inch Powerbook, you should be alright with everything except SX.

(editorial comment) SX's performance was so poor that I moved my license to my PC. After 8-10 tracks it would choke my powerbook.

Same machine can easily do sessions of 32-48 tracks with Logic6 or DP4.

gdoub... what were you using for a harddrive for the SX? Its possible that maybe just the internal drive was your limiting factor for track count more so than processor speed. I highgly recommmend a nice and fast external drive for any serious DAW station rather than using same internal drive loaded with system software and such for best performance cool.gif

I have a Pro Tool certified FW drive from Pacific Pro Audio. It can easily do 60 24bit tracks.

SX's poor performance is obvious when compared to my other DAWs DP4, and Logic6, no contest.

blink.gif I own a 12" 800MHz G3 laptop & have just completed a 32 track song for this Lamb remix competition using Cubase SX with Reason rewired into it,, and she chewed through the mix just fine! As long as you have lots of RAM you should be pretty darn happy with anything better than my G3 800Mhz.

Hear the song here

I wonder how many VST's you guys must all be loading as inserts into each one of your tracks to have such overload problems? LOL laugh.gif
