Hi all,
I'm off to Uni and I've settled on a Powerbook as my ideal purchase. The thing is, I'm ready to start using pro software, but I've been concerned as to how well Logic Express 7 will run on it. Lets say, a PB 12" 1.5Ghz with 1.25 GB RAM ... Any ideas on how many tracks/vst's/software instruments I can run effectively in Logic on a single project? I've been scared by Apple's official recommended specs ... G4 or "Dual G5s"

I forgot to specify...:
80% of my samples are on my internal HD: 80GB 5400 rpm. All audio tracks are on an external FW400 disk: 250 GB, 7200 rpm, 8MB cache (2 of'em, actually). Sure I know about freeze, but I still prefer my method. The main reasons are that I don't have to freeze/unfreeze an entire track to change just a couple of bars, and that when opening a song, I don't have to wait for all tracks to freeze first before I can hear a thing. In a day to day working situation, I bounce to 16 bit /44.1 I only lay to 24/48 before taking the final tracks to a studio for mixdown and further recording. But then again, each one has his own working methods, and variety is the spice of life
