Members witesol Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 what are you guys using for the Capture software with your StudioLive mixers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigjd Posted July 28, 2011 Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 Beat up Dell from 2004. Real small hard drive so I use an outboard drive to record to. The Dell might old but it had alot of muscles so it works great for Capture and controling the board.It was supposed to be a throw away laptop that I cleaned us and repurposed.

Members witesol Posted July 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2011 ahhh, and no problems? they recommend the Macbook Pro in the owners manual. even a used one or refurbished can be in the $800+ range in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 I've had no problems. Sorry for the details, just copied the ad. I paid $400 with keyboard & mouse, and use my flatscreen monitor. It works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flanc Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 I've had no problems. Sorry for the details, just copied the ad. I paid $400 with keyboard & mouse, and use my flatscreen monitor. It works really well. I've used both a Mac Mini and a Macbook Pro (couple year old model off ebay for $800). Both worked great...without problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mutha Goose Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 I use a Macbook Pro. Bought it used from my oldest son. He's a gaming-geek and an IT pro so it was max'ed out in it's prime. Couldn't tell ya much more about it other than that. It has worked flawlessly for me while also running the lights. I run the iPad app for the SL, a remote desktop interface for the lights (so I can control/see my DMX SW), and sometimes record via the firewire interface into Capture. No pops, glitches, drop outs, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imnotded Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 I use an old HP that I bought in '05. I only use it for capture and I can also run studio one on it without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members abzurd Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 Newest 13" macbook pro for me. I got the one with i7 chip and 500 GB hard drive. It wasn't cheap, but easily the best computer I've ever owned and flawless compatibility with the StudioLive, which I cannot say about my PC's.

Just a heads up for you if your using Windows XP as your OS the next UC firmware update will not support XP OS any more. So it means you won't get the 31 Band EQ's for the aux sends and the rest of what's included in the next UC firmware update. The next firmware will only support Windows Vista, W7, Snow Leppord and Lion for Mac users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
