Hello I'm also about to buy a laptop and now i found this one. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&docname=c00645305&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN What do you guys think about it? The spec looks OK but I agree with mbenigni, go for a duo core. Also, once you reckon yo...

I'd wait just a little bit longer and get a Laptop with a duo core 2 processor, because (so I am told here and other places) they are "improved" versions of the Duo Core proc and also they are 64 bit. Seeing as 64 bit will be the norm once Vista gets rolling................please correct m...

That's where the blu-tac comes in.

Blu tack can isolate resonance? Shit, that stuff is awesome.........

Placing the monitors on cinder blocks on top of the desk will still give you resonance - the low freqs will get transferred to the desk surface, which has its own resonant freq. The solution I tried was a suggestion I found on the web - I got two free standing concrete/cement garden plinths. They ar...

Good question. All in the box these days. I dug out my old mixer recently, but it took up space and involved more cable mess.........and in the end I gave up on it (again). If the faders on the mixer could control the faders in Live, or if I was suddenly doing more straight ahead studio multiple tra...

Ah well, have to do some more searching then
gotta take the plunge soon tho, touring in Sept.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

Yes, I know about the next Intel units about to be released - but have to keep the price down.......it is always a delicate balance between price and performance. 750 UK pounds is a damn good price for the specs. Seems like that laptop i mentioned doesn't have a SATA drive inside however...........I...

Wondering if any PC users have info/comments on AMD Turion duo core 64 bit machines.

This looks like a good deal to me:

I liked it - particularly after a few listens. I like the fact that it has a pretty rough finish, production wise - sounds like a modern version of a four track. Nice that the vocals are not totally in yer FACE, mix wise........and some of the song ideas are pretty good, For my ears it is more of th...

Londrina, south of Brazil:

Sunny
High: 28°Low: 16°
No rain for ages.

and it has been / will be like this for days. Blue skies, perfect temps.

It is the dry season. The horror begins in Nov.

I have it too, but it tends to come and go. Other posters are right, you DO get used to it. When I lived in a quiet rural area a few years back I kept hearing this wierd semi industrial humming and I woke up my neighbour at 3am and asked him if he could hear it too....he asked me what I'd been smoki...

There are some excellent articles here on room acoustics:

Dazzer, Check out the presets in Compressor II. Try a couple out, (there's a "limiter" setting BTW). Check out the gain reduction meter in the comp as your subject is talking, and when their louder parts of speech get caught by the compression. try a 4:1 ratio and play with the threshold s...

What mic will you be using? If it is a sensitive condenser then you'll have to be careful holding it........but otherwise I don't see why there'd be a problem with holding the mic. OK to use Live in session view - IMO - because each recording can easily become a clip with auto assigned numbers. You ...

Those Zepto laptops look very good.

Good prices too.
