If you are talking a laptop, I would think 2.0 core 2 duo & 2 gig of
ram would be enough but I still run out of room with the heavier plug ins like
Stylus & Reaktor. Get as much as you possibly can and shoot for a laptop
that can be upgraded to accommodate 4 gig of RAM. Actually, a single core is
just as efficient in many senses, but you won't find too many these days in new
laptop configurations. It seems the real issue is memory and not so much
processor speed.
I tell you what. You get a laptop with 100-200 gig SATA. The aforementioned
minimal processor and RAM. You go out and buy a decent audio/midi interface. You
hook up a basic midi foot controller to your interface. You download a free
program (provided you use a PC) called Mobius. You take 200.00 of the 500.00 you
were going spend on the hardware looper and send it to the guy that wrote and
designed the program with his gratis in mind. You put the other 300.00
in your pocket and do whatever with it that suites your needs best.
You now have a completely reliable looper that is 10 times as functional
and capable as any hardware looper on the market for under $1000.00 It is no
less likely to fail in a live situation than any other looper on the
market. Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com. |
