Hi,

Apols if this topic has come up b4. I'm new on here... Anyway, I'm a PC person who has thusfar hasted recording with computers but who really wants an excuse to buy a G4 laptop - because they look nice and stuff (and because I travel a lot).

With Protools etc. how useable is a G4 (of, say, 1/1.5 Ghz and 500+ RAM) as a workable multitrack studio for 16+ tracks of audio (guitars, vocals and such)? I've had terrible "jitter" problems with PCs inthe past so I don't want to waste my cash if its not a realistic prospect.

Yoda-like advice welcome.

Cheers,

Tim.

P.S. Is there a G5 laptop coming out?

I have a 1GHz with 1G of RAM, and can easily have, say 12 tracks of audio with 2 or 3 plugins on each before I get any stuttering.

I'm interested in two track stereo live recording. Can you do this on your powerbook without an external drive? or do you need the external drive??
