Hi folks,
I am just getting setting up to do my own recording and I was hoping someone could help me with some advice. Specifically, how fast of a laptop (Macbook/Macbook Pro) will I need to record 8-tracks (ideally 24/96) simultaneously thru cubase?
I am looking at used Intel CoreDuo 2.16 Macbooks and Macbook Pros. maybe the new, low-end 13" macbook pro.
To be clear, I have a nice fast desktop at home I'll be using for all the mixing and post stuff. This is strictly for recording and with no effects or anything — just dry tracking of acoustic music.
Also, I will probably use an external HD to record to; can I get away with USB 2 or do I need Firewire, and if so is FW400 fast enough?
The interface I'm using is an io|26.
That's all for now. Thanks so much for your help!
