> >Make that windows, doh > > Actually I think you had it right the first time traditionally Widows > are more fun. Ha, ha. I read too fast to get that typo ;-) Now it all makes sense. How come you pick up Windows now? I switched Mac --> Windows four years ago but now I'm switching back because of the G5 and the serious Apple product line of crative sofware tools. Per Boysen

Hi, I'm trying out a M-Audio Audiophile USB interface. Audio goes fine wiht Logic 5.5.1 under Windows XP but the USB midi driver does not work at all. However there is no problems at all with the Audiophile midi driver in Ableton Live. Any ideas? A known issue?

Hi LUGgers, With no affordable Mac G5 laptops around I'm looking into other alternatives for portability outside the studio. Right now there is a good price for a Dell laptop: IntelR PentiumR 4 cpu 2,40GHz 512 MB RAM 14,1" TFT XGA LCD monitor (1024x768) 20GB ATA-100 drive Integrerat 8x DVD-ROM Anyone with experience of Dell? (my own Dell experiences are horrible, but this was many years ago with second hand machines). Best wishes Per Boysen __________________________________ www.boysen.se www.looproom.com

Personally I don't like Dell, but together with Fuitsu-Siemens it's supposed to be the best around these days... I good friend of mine (works on Nuendo) went for Dell and is very happy.

I don't have any experience with Dell laptops, but we have 60+ 1U, 2U and 4U Dell PowerEdge servers at my work which have been extremely reliable. If you do want a G5 laptop eventually, you might consider finding someplace to lease a laptop from for now. At least here in the US, leasing hardware seems to be a pretty big thing right now and is quite affordable. Plus you might be able to find someplace that would lease you a laptop, but let you return it in a month or so if you can't get it to work glitch-free with your sound card. Laptops are a bit tricky though, due to shared memory, etc. I'd like a laptop some day, but haven't had a chance to get one yet... In the past when researching what to possibly get, RME's tech info section of their website as well as the RME newsgroup have been extremely helpful in finding the make/model of a reliable laptop suitable for being a Windows DAW.

> Anyone with experience of Dell? (my own Dell experiences are horrible, > but this was many years ago with second hand machines). > I've done nothing but recoding on laptops for the past 4 years (I don't even own a desktop any more). Though I've switched to Macintosh some time ago I have had to use Windows based laptops for various jobs over the years. If I was given the choice by my employer I would settle for nothing but Dell. I would avoid the Inspiron line though. Ya, It has all the newest PC junk but that's not what you need, you want reliability. I always went for the Latitude line of laptops. They are built with hardware that is known to have rock-solid drivers and proven field reliability. Yea, they are a but heavy, but I have dropped mine from a table during a presentation and just picked it back up. Never a problem. Think about it if you have to have a Windows PC otherwise save a get a Mac. > With no affordable Mac G5 laptops around I'm looking into other > alternatives... FYI: Mac laptops (Powerbook) run the G4 processor and the G3 processor (iBook). I run Logic Audio on one of my older G3 powerbooks (2000 Lombard) with out a hitch (have to watch the virtual instruments though) and Logic Platinum on my Ti Powerbook (1GHz G4) just get the RAM up there.

If not, the cheapest solution is Clevo I think. The culprit (at least for me) is to have an S/PDIF digital in/out, so you can avoid the low-quality converters of the built-in soundcard. Thisway you can even use the machine without an external soundcard and no loss of quality. The Clevo has it on some of it's models. The second thing is to check the chipset and avoid VIA ! Stick with Intel for peace and happiness.... Regards: Darth

For goodness' sake, whatever laptop you might buy, it is fundamental that it has a seperate graphic chip. My old "no name" P3 1000 laptop(I don't use it for audio) is roughly equivalent to a P III 500, for this very reason ..

I wouldn't buy anything but RME - excellent company, IMHO kind regards Mark Cahill

I like the Dell better and tech support for the Dell if far supreme. Don't get me wrong if you want to find driver updates and support on Sony's site you can but it's an extreme pain in the ass. Dell is great for driver updates and bios updates especially if you change your OS. Jazz-e

my inspiron 8200 has a spdif out on it as well...you have to use this breakout cable though. sam
