So I have a 200-400$ budget to purchase a new laptop it's mainly for home recordings. Ideally I want to use my Tascam Portaone and connect it via analog to digital interface to this laptop using the Portaone as a mixer thus saving me time and money buying high biased tapes(there nearly impossible to find in town here). Any direction or feed back regarding what kind of laptop would be decent in doing so would be greatly appreciated, but I also want to know if anyone thinks using the tascam as a mixer would be a bad idea. I love the 4 track tape recording sound, but not the cost of doing it and the annoyance of rewinding a tape back and fourth. Also I would plan on recording with audacity or some other free program like cool edit if this has any relevance to this topic.
