OT Laptops2

2004-08-27 by ||||* *||||

Realm was right - its a shity job analysing the notebook market for 
something good. Hope that anybody can help me to get any further.

I was talking to m-audio about the compatibility with their products, they 
told me to buy an notebook with an intel chipset with an P4 or VIA with 
Athlon, and - most important - they recomend Texas Instruments Firewire 
controllers

I checked the specs of Dell, Asus, HP and other manufacturers but didnt get 
the right informations

The Dell Inspiron 5150 seems to be a nice option but they didnt have 
informations about their chipsets online, neither they have email suport... 
If anybody know wich chipsets and 1394 controllers are used ???

HP, realm, you said your happy with your notebook, but its discontinued isnt 
it? i asked HP, they said their notebooks do no longer have video ram, none 
of them!?

iBook....hm, at this time it would be my choice, i guess. Anybody know how 
the Audiophile works with the ebook? is the 4200rpm disk fast enough to 
record 4 track audio?

Thanks guys....
T

Music PC -  with Emu 0404. 1212 or 1820 PCI/Breakout sound card system
installed. It will sound A LOT better than an M-Audio anything.

Pluses: more robust, modular, upgradable, greater flexibility with
keyboard and monitor placement, better quality monitoring, no
functional issues or minefields,  - killer audio quality

Minusus: a few more components - but not much more = a bit more setup
time perhaps

cost: about the same - or less if you build it yourself

Im aware of the advantages, but its too heavy to move around... it doesnt 
work unplugged either! Is there any EMU firewire card? o maybe USB 2.0?

Don't buy a 5150 without carefully looking at the ports it lacks. Plus,
there's no dock available.

You're much better off with an old 8200 imho.

Or an 8500 if you can swing the dough.

M-Audio makes nice shit.  I've had my Delta 44 for years now and I love it.  I'm gonna get one of the firewire cards soon for my live rig.
 
As to laptops, look at www.powernotebooks.com
 
Acer and Sager both have some killer deals through them.
 
I'm personally looking into building my own rig with dual Xeon 3.6Ghz. CPU's and 15k rpm SCSI hard drives.  It would be a rackmount server type PC, but if you ask me, it's worth it.  This machine will have twice the cpu power and twice the drive speed of the best laptop on the planet.  just something to think about.  otherwise I'd go with a laptop from powernotebooks, something with a P4 extreme.

a shuttle-case based PC is no heavier than a laptop if you add in the
weight of the external PS....what other part of your rig works
unplugged? If you are using a FW box you are most certainly going to
need AC for that - USB will not allow you the functionality that you
are seeking

RE: [xl7] Re: OT Laptops2

the firewirecard gets power by the port, the headphones dont need power at 
all.
i didnt say that id like to record on the street, in parks... with a laptop 
i can do this [with a dinamic mic if the card has an mic preamp]
further i can move around without a car for dj proposales...

What kind of flightcase and monitor do you use to have the same weight than 
a laptop?

Re: OT Laptops2

2004-08-28 by vibesart

this is getting silly but to complete that which i willingly engaged
in: yeah - you didn't say most of this stuff (remote in the park
recording or on-the-run DJ proposals, altho for the latter I think
that is one of the reasons that god invented the CD and the ipod...). 

For recording squirrels in the park - you could spend a couple g's or
a couple hundred and come out with results that are hard to
differentiate and in this regard I am thinking of the new uncompressed
MD format that Sony has just released. That plus a reasonable but not
too expensive stereo condenser mic will bring you seriously great
results - and will weigh less than a pound.

you cannot compare an ATA flight case with the raw weight of the
computer - be it desktop or laptop. Either one in an ATA flight case
will be a lot heavier. There are carry bags for the shuttle s which  -
just like a laptop - would allow you to take the thing as a carry-on

In local work I put the cpu in a $6 rubbermaid tote + pieces of
non-static foam. I have doing this for years - including my XL7 and
Electribes and Kaoss boxes - never a problem and extremely
lightweight. For actual flight - I put the stuff in a $15 Rubbermade
camping-tote, with foam - in many years of doing this - no problems.

if you want to get some insights from  many other users who have
wrestled with the same questions I suggest  gearslutz.com - nothing
like the voice(s) of experience

good luck

HP, realm, you said your happy with your notebook, but its discontinued 
isnt it? 

>>>Yes, but only the model number.  They actually have a newer version 
that's almost identical.  Check my last email on this subject for the 
exact model number. <<<

I asked HP, they said their notebooks do no longer have video ram, none of 
them!?

>>>NO idea on that, but I would doubt it.  All of their higher end 
notebooks have dedicated video RAM. <<<

is the 4200rpm disk fast enough to record 4 track audio?

>>>Yes, easily. <<<

Then you have to bring a monitor though, not to mention have power to 
supply to it all.  No trips to the woods to write music with a shuttle 
system.  Good for stage use though.

what's the diff. between a shuttle PC and a rackmount?

speaking of having to bring a monitor, I'm going to go rackmount, and I'm looking at monitors that are between 3 inches and 8 inches.  I don't want the public to really 'see' my computer, and these babies run about 150, not too bad if you ask me.some of them look pretty slick, it'll be tight having a mini display.

Just something to consider...

I have a very nice 6 or 7" color VGA monitor I might sell.

Thanks for posting this link.  I'm still not in a position to acquire
more gear, but will keep this in mind.  The main disadvantage I saw
with Shuttle PCs and rackmount PCs is what to do about the monitor. 
Rackmount monitors seem to run around $1000 and up.  But I have heard
of someone strapping a regular LCD monitor to the back of a music
stand. I'll check out gearslutz.com for more ideas.

You think that's big enough to see anything though?  What's the 
resolution?  The compactness is nice, but I would think you'd have to 
squint like a mofo to see what you're doing.  Unless this is just 
something that's going to run unattended in the background?

speaking of having to bring a monitor, I'm going to go rackmount, and I'm 
looking at monitors that are between 3 inches and 8 inches.  I don't want 
the public to really 'see' my computer, and these babies run about 150, 
not too bad if you ask me.some of them look pretty slick, it'll be tight 
having a mini display.

Just something to consider...
