Thanx Warren,i am doing research because i have finally decided to buy a macbook pro and give lapos a try and i am not sure if i should buy it with L.express or pro,also can you give me a list of essentials before i order it to have a killer stable machine for live and studio purposes?i just want to make sure i dont miss anything! p.s. if you would also be so kind to recomend a place that has good deals on macs in the states that would be great(are you form california?) my parents will be most likely bringing it from there. cheers Luis --- Warren Sirota <wsirota@wsdesigns.com> wrote: > I can't really do a direct comparison, because I > haven't used Sonar in > a couple of years.
