hey there everyone- posted this also over in a logic forum, so i apologize, probably more fitting here.
anywheys- looking for advice on what i can do to my deck- a G4 1GHZ powerbook, to turn it into a dedicated dj machine. i will probably be using ms pinky and some dj program, along with turntables, in addition to the hercules dj controller and maybe a midi/firewire capable mixer. might get rid of hercules, idk yet. i would like to know how i can run my computer with the lightest load- i.e.- what programs don't i need, or better yet, what is the minimal basic mac frameworks that i do need. i want it to be super stripped down, a dedicated djing outfit. no internet, no music production software, no superfluous languages, no graphics programs i don't need, etc. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. look forward to hearing yur thoughs! |

You can upgrde the internal drive though it's not mandatory. Now I don't remember if it's easy or not on this model, you may either use a technician or do it yourself if there's an how-to on the net and you're not totally finger impaired.
![]() On the OS X you run, if the OS X installed has not been installed by you, you'd better start from scratch with a clean formatted drive, and a clean newly installed system. It's just basic practice to keep surprises out. Think about a custom install to avoid having hundred of MB of epson drivers for example installed by default… they won't be loaded by the system, but they still cramp up the estate. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
