Re: choosing a laptop

Huh, I run a Dell Inspiron 9400 duocore 2/2 with a mackie onyx 400F firewire soundcard and have no problems running loads of vsts, software, hardware etc.

One thing: there is a firewire fix on microsoft that you need to d/l for optimal action.

after trying 3 computers and having them all give me pops/clicks at 256 buffer....i was informed that the bottleneck is happening because of the firewire chipset - i now understand that TI is the way to go for audio....although im still a little confused if the firewire chipset is the only one you have to make sure is TI..?

im hoping to find out what you guys use - ild like to stay PC and XP pro
all 3 computers i tried were dell....and all turned out to not have the TI chipset..but ive gotten suggestions to try for Acer and Toshiba (which are both new to me)

if anyone can give me a specific make/model of a PC laptop that works well for them via firewire, it would be greatly appreciated

...luckily i was still wearing diapers in the 80's.....everyone ive ever met who was a teenager during those years has serious problems...especially when it comes to haircuts -  but atleast they know how to party =D

sorry.. but i think keytar players look a bit silly...

However I will say that I always thought that Hazel O Connor in Breaking Glass, looked dead hot with that mini synth dangling around her neck... IF only it was a real synth, and not a made up prop for the film. I also put a strap on a Gnat Synth (the baby brother of the touch sensitive Wasp), and leapt about a bit... but that was in th 80´s so I think I was still cool...

Concerning interaction with audience/stage presence, I was very much impressed with Vocal Looper Martin O.
I will write more about him & his approach in detail some time.

Yeah, Keytar... I'd like to get one if I find one cheap anywhere.

best regards
