RE: (313) MIDI Routing Question for Gear Heads

I think you'd be likely to get all kinds of conflicts and interrupt errors if you started trying to run midi through more than a couple of those. I'd recommend getting an old Midex 8 or AMT8 off ebay, they work great. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan00/articles/emagicamt8.htm

Was wondering if anyone out there had any experience running any music applications on a netbook? Seems like it might be a nice/cheap solution for running ableton/serato/whatever and quite a bit more portable than a larger laptop. Concerned a bit weather a $250 netbook has a beefy enough

Not tried one yet. But I have to think that a good comparison would be my laptop which is a 1.7ghz Pentium M, which gets completely bogged down by anything other than the simplest of Ableton Live 8 sets. And a netbook with enough storage and memory to be actually useful is more than $250 -- I'd

The Intel Atom processor is very low powered (in all meanings of the word). Anecdotally for a 1.3GHz Atom read 800 MHz Pentium 3. You might get better mileage for music from a Via Nano. I looked into this a while back and decided against it. robin... On 23 Jun 2009, at 17:10, kent

Hi Kevin, Not sure if that was to the list too but I've also tried Live 6 on a eee pc 1000 with 1GB memory and an HD. It crawled with 3 tracks but then it was running my normal dj set with a couple of Live effects. I was also using the internal sound (offloading to a sound card should

One thing to keep in mind the original netbooks run linux, not microsoft windows. I use abelton live 3 and renoise for my music production. This set up is very easy on the cpu, I can make some interesting mixes on my g3 400mhz powerbook. Whenever I need to use midi/VSTi I render the tracks
