Hello musicians and international political statesmen(!)

Been awhile since I posted and I'd be greatful for some advice:

1. I've been playing with the Live Demo CD and it is amazing (tell us something we don't know). So I would like to run Live.

2. I own a TiBook 667/1 gig and a Vaio 1.8m Centrino/1 gig. I'm thinking of an RME Cardbus and multiface interface but the $6m dollar question is on which 'puter should I run live on? My head says de-Vaio the vaio (remove all the Sony guff and clean install windows) and get an external fast firewire hard disk but my heart says I love my TiBook.

3. If I choose the PC for Live what can I do with the TiBook? Run RAX and use it as a VST synth? Any other ideas?

Many thanks for any input or advice you can spare me.

well you'll probably be able to run 8 times as many tracks off the vaio, hehe. But I guess you already knew that.Running RAX on the TI would be fun I guess, and it would make you feel better, since you'd be using your mac for music.

Thanks for the reply Machinate, RAX on the Mac seems the only way I can integrate my faithful friend into my setup.

Anyone got any suggestions for a cheap audio interface for the TiBook?

Anyone else got any ideas?

I'd stick with the sony for your production... that tibook is just going to be too painful. However, it might be nice to toss a copy of live/logic/rax whatever for the occaisional AU plugin. I think that it's still going to be an uphill battle to do any type of serious number crunching on that mac, though..

Thanks sqook, that's what I feared, my TiBook is my faithful friend, more like a pet that a computer, the Vaio is well, just a PC, don't get me wrong Live is Live on a Mac or a PC, it's just sad to say goodbye... sniffle...

Rax on the Mac Live on the Vaio with the RME Cardbus it is.

Thanks for all the input
