    Laptop Live Recording

    I dual boot on my desktop, but not on my laptop. And right now all I have set up is my laptop since we're cramped in a little apartment for the time being. It's working fine, and mine's WAY slower than yours.

    Anyone using a Sempron 3100+?

    I have experience with the 2400+ Semp, and it's pretty good. Effectively it's an Athlon 2100+. That's how the bios on the Shuttle board read it. It performs nicely.

    Any Linux users?

    Planet CCRMA is a neat set up too, you can try that out. That being said, IMO Linux still ain't ready for prime time. It's just not as simple as XP or OSX to get working, and you have to live with Linux software, not commercial stuff, which may or may not be ok with you. It will advance...

    line 6 variax workbench, what is it

    I'd love to get a used Variax off of Ebay, and get a Warmoth guitar built to accept the electronics, which they do. Then I could have a guitar with a Wizard profiled neck, nicer (IMO) look to it, and still have all the unbelievably cool abilities of the Variax.

    E-Mu 1616M

    Too expensive, and if you can't go back and forth between PCI and Cardbus, that's lame. I'd take an Echo Indigo I/O over it any day.

    does this change your mind about creative at all?

    It seems ExtremeTech is pretty ignorant when it comes to sound cards. They make mention of M-Audio as if they're nothing, and make no mention of Echo, Edirol, RME, etc. I guess PCs are only for watching DVD's and playing games, right? :/

    Non PCI-Slot based Comp. Recording

    He might be able to do well with one of the Edirol USB 2.0 devices, as his computer definitely will have USB2. But I agree, not the best solution for audio.

    XP 64 has dropped

    Are you kidding? Not with MS. They'll gouge you for every license they can.

    ProTools LE...not as cool as I thought..

    I didn't care for it much either, but then I prefer Tracktion, so go figure.

    How much RAM are you using, 2005.

    Still AMD 2500+ with 1gig of Crucial. I don't really feel it lagging, so I don't see any sense in going crazy and getting a new motherboard and processor right now. I might get a 3200+, since they're only like $140 now. But the next major revision I'd like to go to an Athlon 3800+ or 4000+...

    Arguments for Mac over PC

    I don't anyone has ever bought a Mac so that they can play games, despite their position on the platforms for other uses.

    Arguments for Mac over PC

    Actually, I said: I was comparing XP and Tiger, not Longhorn, in respect to level of advancement. If you're referring to me not seeing Tiger yet and already claiming it's more advanced than XP? Well, I think Panther's more advanced than XP, personally. As far as features, Tiger has 200 new...

    Arguments for Mac over PC

    And I'll give MS their credit when they deserve it. But I've yet to see it, and I've seen the hype before. Anyway, I won't debate this with you anymore, there's not much point to it, since there's an obvious difference in opinion.

    Arguments for Mac over PC

    And what is the featureset of Longhorn, besides Avalon, Indigo, and WinFS (which won't be in Longhorn right away anyway)? I guess my whole point in this debate with you is that taking into consideration Avalon, Indigo, and WinFS, and comparing it to Tiger (and sorry, there are more people than...

    Arguments for Mac over PC

    Well, Longhorn was already supposed to be released, but due to setbacks is being held back. And actually, Tiger will have more features than Longhorn will. I am not defending anything, just stating the facts. Most of the innovative features of Longhorn aren't even going to be in the initial...

    Arguments for Mac over PC

    One thing I can say about Apple in comparison to Windows is this: Latest benchmarks for Tiger just came out (I'll find the link if anyone's really interested) and even a lowly 400Mhz G3 runs great with it, and actually it runs faster on that and every chip above it than 10.3.8 did. Apple...

    Dual core and dual processingmachines

    Athlon 4800+ Sweet Jesus. It might be just fast enough to run Longhorn :D

    Ok, the guy at the computer store says....

    Ask him how much the "spiff" is on the Pentium, as opposed to the P4 system. That'll tell you why he wants you to buy the P4 system :D. Salesmen are salesmen......just one level up from marketing in the evolution chain (and both still below lawyers).

    just polled the trigger on Reason 3

    Yeah I've been using an Acid loops CD I bought from Sonic Foundry years ago, with drum one hits, and then just saving the kit in Reason. It works pretty damn well. Reason is the $hit, and the best part is both Tracktion and Reason are pretty efficient, so I can run it on my...
