[QUOTE="Chris Kantner, post: 23432, member: 207"] Re: Macbook Mac all the way. Macbook or Pro version optional. I use an older iBook G4/1.33 to routinely record 14 channels with Logic Pro 8 and with a Motu 828mk11 (8 adat, 6 analog) daisey chained off an external Firewire Drive. The external drive is key...IMO you don't want to record to the drive with your OS. When the session is over I attach the FW drive to my Macbook for edits, but I could edit on the iBook just as well. If I need to do more than 16 channels or at higher bit/sample rates I use the Macbook. You can get good deals on refurb Macbooks at Apple's web site. Navigate to "STORE" using tabs at top then scroll all the way down the page and on the right you will see "Special Deals." Click Refurbished Mac and find your Macbook/Pro.
