I'm looking at building a laptop rig based on Per's posts and there's nothing cheap about it. By the time you buy a decent laptop ($1200) and an audio interface ($200-700) you've spent as much as you'd spend on a pair of EDPs or a Looperlative and you don't even have one lick of software on that box. It might as well be a 6 lb brick. Throw something like Reaktor on it and you're well above the cost of any hardware looper currently in production. What you do gain from a laptop is flexability and portability. As Steve mentioned, what you loose is latency and stability. What's important to you is up to you. Steve makes great music on his Looperlative, Per makes great music on his latpop. You definitally don't end up spending less money by going to a laptop. You spend more. Again I will jump up and down yelling, "it's not that one is better than another, it's just a matter of finding the tool that works for you." Don't mix up "cost" and "value." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
