Hi,
I'm sorry, but i made a mistake before and the thread accidentally posted before I could ask my questions. So, here they are. It looks as if I'm going to have to purchase a Dell laptop with which I would like to make broadcast quality recordings or recordings that can put on album and for film and tv placements. I already have Pro Tools and an M Box, speakers, and all of the accessories that go with Pro Tools. I have previously only recorded on my Mac, so I have no experience using Pro Tools on a Windows based computer in general and a Dell specifically. Therefore the questions I have are: 1. Is Pro Tools compatible with a Dell? 2. If it is, what are some of the external tools necessary that I should get in order to make it work effectively?(For example: A specific type of external hard drive or other devices? Any specific mics, mixers,etc.) 3. Has anyone out there recorded with Pro Tools on a Dell and how did the recordings sound afterward? Were you satisfied, thrilled, or disappointed? 4. If Pro Tools is not compatible with a Dell laptop is there another Windows based laptop that is compatible with Pro Tools? If so, which laptop is compatible and what brand is it and what company does it come from? 5. Does Pro Tools operate well with Windows XP? 6. Finally, are there any books, sites, or forums that someone can recommend that would be helpful in teaching a person to learn how to use Pro Tools with a Windows based computer?
If someone out there could answer my questions, I would be very grateful.
I'm a newbie to this site, to recording with Windows based computers, and to Pro Tools so if someone could help me with some answers that would be wonderful.
Thanks.
