I have a budget of $1000 and maybe a little more to buy a laptop, I know it's not as comfortable for recording as a PC but I'm gonna be moving a lot and I don't wanna get one, I want to portability.
I'm not looking for the ultimate recording tool, but I want something to record sketches and maybe a few decent quality demos. I'm starting to get into MIDI, but then again, I'm new to it. I'm planning to record electronic music, as a personal proyect, which means, only me or one musician at a time recording.
I've been working with Fruity Loops and Cool Edit Pro 1.2 and I having out of this place for a while, I don't know if there's already that new version of cool edit with MIDI capabilities I head about some time ago, if there is, I'm probably gonna stick to it, I might be getting Reason too eventhough I have zero experience with it, I've heard good comments. I would considere changing to Sonar if a system works really good with it.
I own 1 microphone, a cheap casi keyboard that I'll use as a MIDI controler (probably gonna change to something decent later with a pitch wheel and few knobs), I have my giutar and a multiFX board for the guitar. I'm probably gonna get one of the electribes series production station (the black one, with 2 synths and a drum machine just to stay away from the fruity loops samples).
So, my question is, what is a good laptop for under $1000 that will do the job?? and yes, I know I need a preamp, and I've been thinking about getting a cheap 4 channel mixer from behringer (I know how bad reputation behringer has, but I'm on a budget, it is $70 and it's gonna be temporary).
Talking about monitors, I'm planning on getting headphones, Sony MDR-V700, because I'm planning to be able to use this setup live on a stage and the loud volume from DJ headphones is appreciated, and I know they are not the most accurate monitors, but oh well, I've been using really crappy PC speakers for monitors all my life and I've had decent results...
Well, what do you think?
