  1. In music (as this is a musician forum), I have reduced hardware spending and have been making careful considerations largely based on established acts with my desired realm of influence. Example, I notice Junkie XL is an avid user of softsynths in his productions but runs the audio through outboard to obtain a "fuller" sound. I also believe that Logic 8 is a sound investment given all it can do but I really don't see anybody using all the facets of its' potential. Outside music, I cook more now and bring my lunch to work. I don't go out as much. I've just purchased a coffee maker instead of constantly buying from Starbucks or Maxi Java. I got rid of the gas powered lawnmower and purchased an electric mower.
  2. Originally posted by electrobaby Do you guys think a separate external hard drive would help Live run better ...or is it a processor issue alone? More RAM. A faster harddrive can help also.
  3. Originally posted by flukewurm it works... but one instance of waldorf attack and one instance of simpler and my CPU is already choking. I can run 3 instances of Key Rig, 2 KLC instruments (Not Legacy Cell), and Kontakt 2 for drums. I bus the effects. Notice I was kind of picky for what would be used on the laptop. (No Mimimonsta, Tau 2, Logic 7 or Garageband.)
  4. Wait until Live 5 but if you can buy Live 4 and get Live 5 for free, then do it It's an awesome application. The Live 5 extra features are worth it. It IS the top app for remixing IMO or if you prefer to use a lot of hardware. It's also great for DJing. I use Live on a 1 Ghz Powerbook and have no problems. I don't know what the deal is with the other folks here but it works great. I just limit my softsynths to the versatile essentials and midi up the ER1 MkII.
