What kind of performance could one expect on a centrino 1.6 with Live?

i'll be buying a pc laptop in about a month and currently use mac. except for live i have no complaints about the mac and am not looking forward to windows driver crap but since Live is currently my main DAW and the 970's are still a half a year away realistically in the laptops i might as well buy ...

or you can have the program run in the background and have a mic setup which will then record it.

the bumpitron - thats a good one.

this might be an option i just found which has rewire support:

yeah its not quite as exciting as no rewire so no way to get the audio recorded into live.

As reported on osxaudio.com

i can get about 15 to 20 tracks playing at once with some eq effects and whatnot (not reverb) before it can become sluggish using a G4QS 733 mhz.

I also would pay for a major update that consists of some performance optimisations for g4. in case ableton is still wondering whether to do it or not - how many pros did you see doing a performance on a win-based laptop?

At the sonic lights festival in amsterdam this weekend, in the main space ...

don't be embarassed about the smell. even my girlfriend, as beautiful as she is, sometimes gets the gas.

yes, i use live exclusively and wouldn't think twice about it if i could take advantage of au/vsti's and an eraser tool but am hoping apple releases a mini-daw which would have these or a au/vsti rewire host.

can i just say that the 15" tibooks were big, so who the fuck is gonna buy one of those 17" monsters?

I disagree, the more screen real estate the better. i wished they had released 22 inch laptops.

this happens to me in os x too. i always choose no so hasn't been a major problem.

i am running 10.2.2 i believe and am able to play about 16 clips at once before funky stuff starts happening (around 35%, some effects usually eq). i record all my own samples into live either by instrument or by rewire. i have experienced a couple of bugs:

1) the recover save does not work ...

mine crashes in os x if i try to do the save recover thing.
