gateway
WinXp
1.13ghz
built in sound

live idle-3%
bar 17-15%

keep in mind this is a 3-4 year old laptop. and it's on par with newer g4 power books. I'm somewhat impressed. why are mac's so slow?

mac are slow because they do everything 9 time to make sure they got it right. and they are full of jam.

Live isn't optimized to run on osX, altivec or something like that. Things I don't really understand. I do understand that I am very happy with my machine though!

Sony VAIO Z1XSP (Centrino 1.7Ghz)
Win XP Pro SP1
RME Digiface

- with outputs 1/2 and s/pdif input enabled only

test 1 : 1%
test 2 : 5%

- with all 26 inputs and outputs enabled :

test 1 : 4%
test 2 : 8%

so it seems the asio driver roughly eats 3% cpu max at full throttle
(i tried on my dual 800 g4 and it ate 40% of one cpu !!!)

I still have no idea what my percentages are, but they're enough for making music

With the exception of Matthew Dear, I think all the artists at this weekend's Once Twice festival in Baltimore used Macs or turntables for the sound and video they created. Fair number of people involved, too.

Just saying--

PS. BTW, the festival rocked.

Mac do look great in my opinion. But it's just a machine... remember?

I like both Fenders and Gibsons...
