Macbook or Macbook Pro better for music production/DJing?
I am ready to switch over to the Mac world to do my music composition and DJing and live performance. (I've used PC laptops in the past). I can't figure out if I really NEED to get the 2.33GHz Macbook Pro (15.4 inch screen), or whether a 2.0GHz Macbook (13.3 inch screen) would be good enough. I prefer the smaller, lighter weight ones, and also its cheaper. But I don't want to shell out $1,000+ and end up with something that's just a little bit too slow.
Anyone out there use Macbooks for DJing, music production (Cubase, garageband, Logic, etc), or recording? Do you know how much speed & RAM is actually necessary? I don't plan on running 32 tracks of virtual instruments, maybe 8 or 9 tracks of virtual instruments at once, then 2 or 3 audio tracks, plus maybe a live track synth. I doubt I would do any live audio processing with it, as I have stand-alone effects processors for the guitar and bass guitar that will be on stage with me.
I Have always used Mac!, and have recently upgraded me & my staff to MacBok Pro's-Without any shadow of dout these things ROCK!
I'm in Management and Hospitalitity,but these New Dual Core Processors are simply the Best!
