Hi

Currently I am running my G5 Powermac (dual 1.8Ghz, 4GB memory) for Logic Pro + VSL Horizon (Opus1, Guitar, Glass + Stones, Overdrive) and a Powercore Firewire.

Due to my circumstance of having to live away during the week, I'm planning on getting a Powerbook 15" + Powercore Compact and Lacie usb2/Firewire portable drive (either 60 or 80GB for Horizon sample storage). I'm also going to get at least Opus 2 and FX percussion too.

Has anyone got experience with a powerbook (1.5 or 1.67Ghz) and VSL?

Will it have enough grunt to be usable for some fairly full arrangements?

Any insights welcome.

JohnM

Smile I rather expect that 'freeze' will be my friend on such a system, however it's always good to have an idea of how useful it will be without resorting to freezing tracks.
