Honestly I bought this Unit for use in Audio production and processing but, I am still not brave enough to be fully dependent on it just yet. Staying at home it has established to my satifaction that the system is reliable enough. I of coarse have not yet thrown it around or transported it from place to place. It's configured with a gig of memory 2ghz processor and currently using the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 (I only wanted two in and out plus MIDI in/out) Running Windows 2000 server (I tried to do it with Linux but, I ended up getting pissed of so I hung up that idea, wrong audio card RME would have worked). I was thinking about mounting it in a small rack case with a 12 inch flatscreen monitor (I have that in storage) -----Original Message----- From: msottilaro [mailto:sine@zerocrossing.net] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 6:03 PM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Re: Looping with a PC laptop... which one? No way. I have a nice desktop, and that's where it will stay. On my desk. Part of the reason for the laptop is to have next to nothing to carry.
