Hey, everyone... okay, my question(s) are very to the point.
To save a bunch of babble, I'll ask the question(s), and then explain the reasoning.
1.) Do all modern laptops, containing Vista, come already equipped with a soundcard capable of simultaneous playback and record?
2.) If not, is the Audigy SE good enough just for basic recording?
3.) What is the absolute cheapest, basic laptop that I can get for minor recording projects? BestBuy has some in the $600 price range.
Now, let me explain the set up, which you may need to know in order to answer the above questions.
The band records the tracks.
I use the 2 track stereo master of those tracks to lay down my vocals with.
The present route is this...
I use Magix Audio Studio.
Don't laugh yet.
The reason I use Magix, my computer is an old dinosaur, and it doesn't tax the memory at all, runs very smoothly.
Now, though I record on Magix, I use Steinberg plugins that I have configured for use on Magix. Make sense?
So, see, I'm not after a great big to-do.
Recording onto one track, playing back one track... total of 2 tracks, and using about 3 plug ins.
If your budget were around $600, and you were just doing this simple setup I'm talking about, what laptop would do the job?
Thanks.
Walt
