If you saw the email that andy martin sent about the laptop in which his sound card isn't sheilded, That is a good example of what not to get... I know this because I have the same issues!! You can hear the hd sound coming through your speakers. Stanton has a list of laptop and desktop computers that they recommend using with final scratch. I think they are mostly high end notebooks, but I'm sure you could find something helpful on the list. Peace, J.J.

Im considering purchasing a laptop for the same purpose - mainly to run final scratch and for an occassional bit of production (logic/reason) while on the road. any recommednations? thanks, trust -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Norman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 8:35 AM To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Laptop Performance Hi all Quick question for a quiet Friday. Does anyone use Apple ibooks or mid range PC Laptops (c.�900) for music and if so, what specs do you have that enable you to fully make tracks just using eg Cubase/Logic and a load of Vst instruments? How many tracks do you guys end up with before the computer chokes and whats your favourite soundcard of choice for laptops? I've read that even if the CPUs are fast enough, the hard disks in laptops are often 4200rpm so they end up stunting the grunt Any opinions would be cool, cos I don't know whether i would be wasting my time unless I forked out for G4 Powerbook or a �1800 PC laptop. Don't know about Macs, but some people swear by them....just wondered why Cheers Dan PS - i went to Movement in Bristol last Saturday and it was godawful...the music was hideous and repetitive, no soul in any of the renta step tunes and I longed for nice tunes - whats happened - its certainly not like the DJ Marky compilation... --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
